I thought I would share pics of the multimedia dock I made from lego this morning, after being inspired to do so from this thread:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/2425-how-diy-media-car-dock-2.html#post33211
I had some spare time this morning so I dug out my daughter's Lego bricks to try to make one. Most of hers were the big type (Duplo) so they weren't any good for this, but found a small stack of cheap non-lego bricks. With just the limited bricks I had, I managed to create this after about 10 minutes:
(btw, sorry for all the crap in the background!)
And this is how it looks with the Droid (actually a Milestone) on it, running DockRunner!
The great thing about these docks are:
1. It can accommodate the charging cable
2. It can accommodate protective covers, like the Seidio I'm using.
3. You can leave the keyboard open (I love the keyboard, btw. When a text message comes in, I can quickly do a reply on the keyboard.
4. The charging cable is still 'loose', so I can still leave it plugged in even if I take it off the dock to answer a call, etc.
I didn't bother putting a magnet in cos DockRunner is easy enough to activate. Maybe one day I'll paint it black or something though.
Hope it helps anyone wanting to make one too!
