Custom made wooden dock for Nexus 4 - Nexus 4 Accessories

Just wanted to share about the dock I've made myself for the N4
And, uhm, no, it's not for sale. Unless you're going to make a good offering

I've got the idea of making this one while googling "DYI smartphone dock" and found, you don't say, a wooden one.
Hope you like it!

It's very nice ,enjoy it!

Awesome! I love that it has the cutout to accommodate the cable, looks great! :good:

Thats neat!! Very unique, good job

Nice one, I've seen one like yours too. Aren't you kind of afraid it might scratch the phone?

Sideways, like a dock for movies or a clock! Great dock still though! Very simple!

Nope! The only things the phone touches are the wires that hold the nfc chip and the LEDs in front. Also I covered the top edge with clear tape just to be safe. and my phone is in a case anyways

BTW on ETSY there are real wood backs, laser cut for 20usd to replace the glass

[Q] Anyone interested in a homemade dock tutorial?

Hey guys. I am currently making my own Desktop dock w/ usb hub, sound input/output, and speakers. I kind of want to make a tutorial on this, but before I go through all that effort I want to know if anyone would be interested.
Thanks.

It's taken about 2 days so far. I would probably be done by now if it weren't final exam period. I already had the speaker system and cables and I've spent around $40 on other stuff like balsa wood, glue, sandpaper, and a few other things.

It's balsa wood which you can buy at almost any craft supply store.
I'm glad to see I've sparked some interest. Hopefully I will have some time in the next week or so to finish it. If not, my exams are over on the 21st so I will definitely be able to finish it a couple days afterwards.
Incredible!
Post more detail when you have time mate, thanks
Very interested. Looking great so far.
I ment the circuit board.did you make it?

Haha I should have known what you meant. There are 2 different ones. The first image is of a USB hub that I took apart, and the second is the amplifier that came with those speakers (stole from a portable speaker). I will post more details later on when I have time so stay tuned!
How do you plan to finish the balsa wood?
Just thinking of doing something similar, but I have no idea how to make the balsa nice and shiny...

I'm covering it in Bondo, then sanding it down until it's smooth enough to paint. Keep an eye on this post as I will be updating it as I go.

Cyanogen says

I wonder how fast after release I can get CM7 on g2x cause I love Cyanogen
CM_arcee (http://twitter.com/#!/cm_arcee) has already started on CM7 for the Optimus 2X (similar to the G2X) a couple of weeks ago.
Yeah. I like the work of a lot of devs but when Cyanogen was on AGTN and said he was getting it, that sealed the deal for me.

Great news. I try different roms but always go back to cyanogen.

I am interested in the secret kickstand as well...
If it doesn't work as one, I wonder how difficult it would be to buy the casing from another phone that DOES do the kickstand thing and modify it...
Guys, there is no secret kickstand. It's just a case for the phone that has a built in kickstand. Sorry.

Daydeal.com has a cheaper one with a front protective cover. In their search box type in bodyglove g2x.
He has the device and says it is awesome. He also told @tmobile they did an excellent job making it.
And @TMobile replied:
"Glad to hear it. We're looking forward to seeing what @cm_arcee and the team can do with this great device."
Also, he'll be getting a G-Slate

"@cyanogen Ha. Good point. We'll get a G-Slate out to you. Hope you have fun with it."

Very smart move by T-Mobile if you ask me. They give him a free G-Slate and he "has" to support it, and bam it creates more sales paying for itself.

We have just been using a seidio case with kickstand, but had thought about something like your's though. Shame it isn't an old xbox controller that had the slots on top, would make for easy expansion.
Going to work something up though when I go see my brother in law.

I was thinking about a kick stand sorta deal but that wasn't going to do it for me. Found some new pieces and came up with this. Its 100x better allows me to fully use my controller and doesn't require as much stuff constraining my controller.
Anyone else?

Games, its an easy way to play. Others sometimes use kickstands or just lay it down.
I had a cord come in today that
was HDMI for certain phones.. but apparently mine only uses composite so I did sorta get jipped. Was planning using the TV if it worked.

I picked up the black one. It seems to keep the phone quite well and the kick stand is a nice touch but it turns out it's not my cup of tea. Will be putting it up on eBay. Did get it on sale though so I don't feel too bad about it. I'm going to look for something a bit more svelte.
Why not sell here instead to other members?

I'm happy to do so. Just figured that with a noob status folks might be wary. I'm happy to part with it for $15 plus whatever shipping costs. I'm benjammin72 on ebay. 100% feedback. I'm going to put my iPhone 4 this weekend. I think I'm hooked on android for the time being.
It would get more hits on the Marketplace.
I'd buy it but I just got the Seidio Active with kickstand, I love it.
If you can't post in the Marketplace ill make a thread for you bro.

Thanks! I apprecate that. I'll post it in the marketplace tomorrow. Gotta find a couple of threads to pipe on so that I can actually post a picture!

Is the front side of the bumper raised or flushed with the glass? Would it protect the screen from shattering if it was dropped?
From the picture, it looks flushed.

front - flush 0.05cm (quite thin) if dropped screen face down, most likely will crack
back - flush 0.1cm to protect the camera
