DIY dock from new iPod nano packaging



Oh it's on now: one-upping the DIY iPod Dock is Flickr user MulletMan13 with a dock for a new 2G iPod nano made out of its own clever packaging. It looks as though MulletMan13 more or less used the same technique, cutting a hole through the plastic package with mere scissors and a pocket knife, then taping the dock adapter in place. The final product certainly earns some style points for the use of Apple's eye-catching packaging, but we still have to tip our hat to Flickr user flickrflick151 for the home-grown use of the AirPort Express card box and the extra touch of a sharpie marker label.

Cheers to the both of you inventive dock creators, and thanks in advance for sparking a DIY dock movement. With any luck, your names will be etched in stone to forever highlight your sparks of innovation - or maybe they'll just be written down and sculpted somewhere with a sharpie and some packaging tape.

There was a link to the original DIY iPod dock in that last comment, but it didn't come through. Just google "DIY iPod dock", it's #1.

Dude, I hate to rag on these guys' DIY skills, but I made an iPod dock over a year ago, blogged it, and over 50,000 people downloaded the pdf template. I let the last DIY iPod dock slide, but after reading "thanks in advance for sparking a DIY dock movement. With any luck, your names will be etched in stone to forever highlight your sparks of innovation", I had to say something.
