Its a simple and easy dock made from half a pringles can and some duct tape!

Cutting the Can

To cut the can you need to poke a hole in it about where you want the max height of the dock to be. Then you just cut it out.

The "Lean Two" If You Will

Then you cut at a diagnol for you iPod to rest on. Then if you cut the bottom as a curve then the iPod can lean. (the other pics hopefully show what im trying to say if you dont under stant it)

Start to Cover

Now you want to start to cover it so you have something to put your iPod up on. First Cover the top and cut it so you can fold it down to start the front. Then cover the front.then for the bottom rest you can do like what you did for the top.

The Hole

Next you want to start to cover the back bottom. Then cut out a place for your cord to come out of.

Another Hole

i added tape on the inside where the slit will be so it wont be all sticky. Next, on the front where the bottom of the iPod will rest, cut a long slit for the "head" of the cord can pop through. If you have a Nano then you can poke a hole for the head phone jack to come out of.

The Finish
