Cardboard ideas: Part I (a.k.a. This is as close to an Apple iPod dock I could ever be...)

Next Cardboard idea >

I don't want to spend $75 on an iPod dock out there... and I only need USB connectivity to sync and charge. So who cares about spending money on a dock, when you only need cardboard?

Materials:

• Cardboard from a cardboard box
• Some tape
• Your iPod dock connector adapter (usually supplied with many iPods out there)
• Your iPod USB 30-pin dock connector

Unfortunately, because of the lightweight cardboard, you will also need a weight, or Blu-Tac (you can see some of it up there) to hold it firm onto the table (otherwise, you'll find your iPod smashing it's head out hard!)

I'm not for aesthetics - only for practicability, not that beautiful Apple products should come with good looking accessories.
