Yeah thats pretty damn sweet , nice job :) maybe you should go into mass production lol, apparently no one else is doing so lol
 
Cool Cool guys. I actually thought about selling them. I did a little research and that Droid logo and font is out, Can't use it. You can use the droid robot, but have to give credit too google. So I was trying to think of something else that would look cool in place and haven't come up with anything yet. lol

Personally, I don't really care what it says....I'm just tired of waiting for a freak'in dock for this phone!! I would def buy that if the price is right. Let me know, I'm in!!
 
Looks like may need to order some aluminum. I never really intended too sell them. However if enough people want one. I will definitely do a run of 20 or so. I know my brother and his girlfriend want one for sure.
 
I thinly price would be between 25 and 30 bucks. I more than likely will just have an oversized hole where the cable goes so you can use your own(charging cable or media cable).

As far as being able to fit a phone snugly with a case I would have to know the dimension. I wouldn't beable to make one overzized to fit any case because there are simply too many.
 
Not to crap on your thread, but has anyone looked into the mikradles? They are available on ebay and look neat - but dont have a built in charging cord.
 
n2airz, that's some damn fine designing and execution with the cnc machine!

Might I suggest adding framework to the back and changing the angle that the phone is inserted so the the phone could be tilted back slightly for better viewing while seated. Looking at the side elevation of your deign I think that rear supporting framework would be a natural extension. BTW, this is just a thought and not a request or critique.




@ justbrae1 - Yea, that's pretty crappy. Your comment would be better suited in a general cradles thread instead of someone sharing their custom work. Not to mention that the mikradle, while maybe functional, is very uninspiring to look at. n2airz's cradle is a piece of functional tabletop sculpture.

Hey brotha

Necessity is the mother of invention. Your cradle looks fine. I just happen to have a few awesome tools at my disposal. ;-)

Thanks alot buddy.

Actually I totally agree with you. I didn't design with the intension of selling it. I just wanted something that looked cool that I throw my phone on to charge ;-). With that said, if you where going to watch a movie on it for instance, a slight angle would help alot.

I have another load of metal being delivered this week I will make a few design changes to make it more functional.

Also the next one will just have the word "Incredible" engraved on it. Damn patent and trademark laws :-).
 
Just a suggestion but I think people would be willing to pay extra if you could put a short USB mini cable in there without the charger. That way you can still insert the phone and take it out with one hand and not have to pick the stand up to do it. The short cables could be bought in bulk for less than $5.00 each. Then you could use any usb wall charger with it. Anybody else? By the way, the demo looks outstanding but +1 on the tilt back for viewing.
