Nice. I wish there was a vertical stand version of that. I'll see what I can make. :D

I think it would work if you set the iPhone in the stand vertically. If not, you could chop a couple pencils in half.

Why do you need a stand for your 3G?

Why do you need a stand for your 3G?

Use it while at my desk (Calculator,Email,etc.), listen to music while I'm laying down, better use as a alarm for my night stand,etc etc etc

For something different, and which works better for using in bed, I've been using the Movie Wedge.

There is also the iphone bean bag:

I am looking for one where you don't have to remove the case and you can still get sound.
I found this which looks very promising.
Isn't available until next week and will probably be cheaper once its out.
Currenty $50 but like I said, probably cheaper later on.
Especially if Amazon does indeed carry it.

ThinkGeek carries this small flat-folding stand for $4. Yes, it's just a small plastic holder, but it'll get you by. I'm thinking of getting one of these, or the moviewedge if I can get it to stick to my dashboard in my car.

looks very similar too xstand except it has adjustable feet for those of us that like to have our phones in cases. I have to see if I can find it. ;)

I saw LUXA2 H1 Touch can be used for iPHONE 2G, 3G and 3GS which can be found on Amazon and Newegg as well.
It's looks pretty well.

Please < $50. I have seen the Xtand and the iCooly. Any others?

i like the looks of the one on the left... but do you use your connector area to hold it on? is that a good idea?

The original stand is the best

try to find a used one on ebay

I used some extra strength velcro its pretty much bolted to my desk

I love not having to fiddle with wires, I can place it and remove it with one hand in less than a second

Expensive, but worth the convenience alone.

but if you have a case, the dock made specifically for the 3g doesnt work. and the universal dock costs so much because it comes with tons of adapters.

i have the iphone 3g dock its soo light weight, i like the universal more because its heavier and u dont have to hold the dock down to remove the phone like u do with the 3g dock

No need for a case ( Apple is not responsible for making a dock that fits with cases, thats up to a third party, the dock works flawlessly with my 3G)

i have the iphone 3g dock its soo light weight, i like the universal more because its heavier and u dont have to hold the dock down to remove the phone like u do with the 3g dock

Hence the Velcro, which has worked beautifully for several months now

If you just want a bendable plastic stand that is cheap i would recommend the ibend stand for $5..

And Apple is not responsible for making a dock that won't tip over, right?
:rolleyes:

And if it works "flawlessly" why do you need to jury-rig it with velcro?

just askin....

Looks like they have colors now. I recall them only having black. Really nice!
