iPhone Dock Modification


As those of you close to me know, I kind of fell into a new iPhone (you know, the one with 3G that everyone has been talking about). If you don’t know the story of why I purchased the new iPhone, I apologize, but you are out of the loop and you may never know. Anyways, one of my favorite things about the previous iPhone I had was the dock that came along with it. It’s not a necessity, but it keeps my desk clean and organized looking (I can dock my phone and see it from my seat when people call and it has a holder to keep it out of my way). Unfortunately, the new iPhone did not come with a new dock. Much to my dismay, I would have to buy a new one to fit my 3G iPhone… or would I? Not wanting to drop the $30 the new dock would run me, I took my old dock and borrowed my friend Keith’s Rotozip and performed a little modification on my old dock. After about thirty minutes of sanding the dock down, I was able to fit my 3G iPhone into my old dock and saved myself about $30. True, it’s not as polished and nice looking as a new dock would be, but I didn’t spend $30. Anyways I just thought I would share some pictures of it with you. I apologize for the bad photo quality as I was using my grandmother’s cheap point and shoot and I have terrible lighting in my room (which prompted me to use the flash and flash-bang everything).

  1. If it works, it works. I know I wouldn’t have spent 30 more dollars on el Jobs.

    Should have etched in some initials.

  3. Well I could have required you to sign up for my website to comment, then you’d have the ability to edit your comments. However, that’d mean you’d have to sign up to comment and if I know you, you wouldn’t sign up and hence you wouldn’t comment, which would be very sad. hah
