There are some truly gorgeous stands that folks have build. The most inspiring are the ones made of wood. Unfortunately I have neither the proper tools nor skills to make something like that. Instead I worked with what I had which included a 110V MIG welder and some pencil rod. (Sort of like rebar but smooth and about 1/4" in diameter and cheap. )
It's a little crude but does the job.

I might have done a better job or aligning the cutout for the USB connector. It was supposed to slant down.
I prefer landscape orientation for this application so magnets weren't really necessary, just a stand that would hold the charger reasonably well.
(Note: This is on no way intended to demonstrate skillful welding. I would have to hire someone to do that. Like my mentor said. If all you want to do is stick pieces of metal together ... )
I haven't decided what finish to go with. I might just seal the rust with some kind of clear spray paint. First I need to rust the shiny bits.
I like it. Simple and to the point.
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
really well done man. id love to have one

Hi, hope you guys remember me.
I have posted a guide on how to repair dents and dink + painting for ur blueangel.
I have been running a series of test (not many)
to see how i can lighten/downsize blueangel but not compromising functions.
this is the prototype of my blueangel.
in the final stage, i hope to get a glass back, acrylic sides and a full screen front. (something like a iphone 4)
but before customizing the parts, i try building a casing out of a wire mesh (FOR FUN)
results i get is not bad, thin and sleek, light weight.. just abit ugly.
Parts i have removed/mod
-battery
-antenna
-camera
-keypad

Nice !
You can make a transparency case and what is with the buttons?
d-two : yupe was going for a transparent acrylic casing. but kinda expensive to make in 1 piece. so im gonna make into many piece.
im gonna do away with the buttons. and just put the sleep button.
need some time to plan the dimension though
w0w what a very nice modification.
Cant wait to see when the real new casing and housing is made.
ive not been able to find any cases ive liked and since my dell streak took a tumble never to recover im much more careful with my mobile devices. i saw these in the shops and thought they would do the job nicely.

i used the smaller of the 3 sets and it came out well. the pads didnt stick directly to the back on their own so i used a needle to apply super glue to the pads which did the job
they protect the phone/camera and act as extra grip without any extra bulk or ugliness

hey, nice diy idea! good way to avoid getting the camera lens scratched... will hunt around for something similar and give it a go.
interesting idea.... saw those on sale in a store a while back... I hope i will find them and give it a try.... always had scratched camera lens cover in my old phones....
Anyone know a bag which has enough room to hold an s3 with a mumi tpu skin case? I really need the skin case because at work and at home I want to see the phone and especially the notification led, but to carry it I want some good protection against dust and dirt. A screen protector is not an option for me. Thanks for any hints and pointers!
I was just thinking about this after i got back from golf and having the phone in the cart it got dusty. I'm probably going to use the cloth bag that you get when you buy a bottle of Crown Royal. It's free and pretty lightweight although i don't know how smooth the insides of those bags are.
Yea something like this would be really handy... It needs to be a snug fit tho. I guess it wouldn't be too hard to make with the right material although surely someone's making something like this already?
Just for completeness I've now got this sleeve. The s3 lurks out about 2mm which I can live with. I finally did apply a scree protector (dipos crystal clear) so I think I'm fine now.

Hello,
inspired by a thread I saw last week in the LG XDA forum where a guy was showing a custom cradle + charger made by LEGO for his phone I decided to find the old LEGO box and to create something for myself, remembering the old days 2 decades ago when i was young and played a lot with these ingenious small bricks and pieces So, here's the outcome, tell me if you like it and be inspired to do something by yourself and share it here, I'll be very glad if I make at least one person to do the same and feel the nice nostalgia to the old days
P.S. The QI charger part is actually working very well and charging the phone fast enough, even though the positioning is not the best. I used a cheap flee market QI charger, which i disassembled and took only the charging unit, totally removing the casing. It's sandwiched between the LEGO plates and is pretty well held in position, not requiring any additional fixing. If you want to, i can make more detailed pictures of how i fixed it into place.

Very nice! If only I still had my massive bucket of bricks, I'd make one of my own!
HAHAHAHA!!! Too cool!! :good:
Hi,
I've seen a lot of people struggling with S Pen holders for their cases. The cases that come with pen loops normally have magnets that interfere with the S Pen writing experience. And the non-folio cases typically don't have pen holders.
So I decided to make my own. The inspiration was Samsung's own Tab Active 2.
Step 1:
Buy the standard Leuchtturm pen loop. Or any other similar brand.

}
Step 2:
Cut the non-loop part as shown below
Step 3:
Insert into the Top right speaker slot of the case. I'm using the i-Blason hard case
Step 4:
Slide in the pen!
This system has been working perfectly for me for the past 6 months. And I much prefer having the pen near the top of the tablet than on the side with traditional loops. Makes it much easier to slider the tablet into a sleeve and looks much better aesthetically (IMHO)
Let me know what you folks think..
@Wooster123
Neat!
Smart. Thanks for the great idea!
