Tired of Waiting on a "dock" so....

[mathelm]

I made my own out of cardboard...lol

Plus it reflects the sound back at you so....

UPDATE: To the DIY'ers, the back is 7" wide and the front is 6.5" ( /___\ ). If I were doing it again I would narrow the front by another half an inch at least....

I like it, I may do a more finished looking version, maybe some flat black paint....hmmm

Then I'd have to patent it...

Like the sound, it's wireless....

I used them all sticking it together....

Check out this guy on ebay....

2.0....

Of course it lost all of the sound reflection, which it turns out is quite a bit.....

Good to know all those skills acquired in kindergarten didn't go to waste huh.....

That one needs to be posted on Lifehacker.

Apple is going to sue you anyway for building a dock/stand designed to hold a rectangular device with rounded corners.

Just hope your boss doesn't visit Android Central and finds out what you have been doing in your cubicle.

It looks nice the way it is. But here's my suggestion:
Wrap it in fiberglass, sand it smooth, then apply a flat black finish and you'll have something really impressive.

This is exactly the design I've been using since I got my TF101.

She's sturdy and folds up nice and small.

You're cuts look a lot straighter though, and I can clearly see guiding lines penned on, so yours is definitely more refined than mine.

I have to say, all kidding aside, that first one really works great. I placed it on my night stand and fell asleep watching a episode of SGA. The improvement in sound volume is great. Actually had to turn it down, and I've got one speaker blown....

Nah, their just wondering who took all the copy paper out and stole the boxes....

You forget the formula T/V=S Where T is time spent on, V is value of, and S is the level of stupidity. Being that I naturally already have a high S level, I really have to watch the T value.....

Does anyone know the pin assignments on the Nexus 7 doc connector? I think I can build a better,cheaper doc with sound and charging.
What's being offered just isn't worth it.

 

[mathelm]

Better than the Asus one maybe.. But not better than......

There's a thread over on XDA............ edit: on pin outs...

and you thought mine was redneck.....

My expensive stand -

Yeah I know it sucks but it was free and it does the job, sort of.
