    You don't have to open up your phone for this hack, just be willing to cut up a usb cable and a car charger.

    How difficult would it be to make the cable if you've never soldered or worked on cables before?

    I desperately want one to transfer photos from my sd card/camera (once drivers are out), but I don't know if I can make the cable...

    That is a non-issue if you use a powered USB Hub, for devices that don't have their own power.

    I actually have a portable fold-up bluetooth keyboard that uses the KeyPro app and it works great with my droid!
