Never buy another iPhone dock again with this origami dock

Have you ever wanted to get your hands on a dock one moment, only to realize there’s not one in sight? Turns out Make Magazine had your back, back in 2009.

Today, after spending a few moment looking for awesome iPhone docks for my office, Google revealed some pretty pricey options. With a baby on the way, those Benjamins can easily go to better things. So, I searched for an origami iPhone dock. Paper is plentiful, and cheap. It turns out that it can also be an iPhone dock.

All you have to do is print out the template on some card stock, or if you’re craftily inclined, free hand it. Voilà, a cheap iPhone dock at your disposal. It looks like the PDF was free back in 2009, but today they sell it to you for $5.00. While the price isn’t ideal, it’s still cheaper than the $30-90 options available on the market today.

This would make a great gift for my brother who LOVES papercraft. I think I'm going to do it! Thanks for posting this.

No prob. Glad you found it as useful as I did.

Well, that's neat.
