Just use a regular ipod dock. I use one from a 3rd generation ipod with the white cover taken off. I'm guessing that the 'universal' docks without an insert in place will fit just fine as well.
 
i just made one out of knex until i get a universal dock. those come with all the dock adapters right?

The Belkin clearcase kinda doubled as horizontal stand using the belt clip. I loved that feature. Oh how thy case hurt thy iPhone! :eek:
 
I'm sorry but I don't get it. Why do you need this stand when I am not using my iPhone I just put it in the charger. I might be interested in a horizontal stand so I could prop up the phone while watching a movie or video. But why would you need a vertial stand?
 
hehe glad you like.

The reason for this stand is so i can see my iphone screen while on my desk (incoming calls, texts, email, etc without picking it up), without taking off the case. I hold it for video viewing so i dont need a horizontal stand.

i added two little black pieces to i can see the screen better.

edit:
WHOA! it looks like my iphones camera (the first picture) has wayy better picture quality than my moms HP photosmart (2nd and 3rd pictures)
 
suprisingly :)
although im using my original dock mostly now as i ditched that case becasue it was a scratch fest
 
yea. im content with my knex one for 45 dollars, although if it was 25 or less id get it :)
 
Needed to be Brushed Aluminum

Would have been much more attractive in brushed aluminum to perfectly match other devices :)apple: monitors, G5 & Mac-Pro desktop cases, etc...) that are sitting on our desks already.

Take a look at these more attractive (coordinating) products:

G-Drive

Laptop Stand

I would set the standard at rains mstand. Great design, only seen it, haven't used it (have a macbook).

I noticed this one from Apple's site re Ipod Touch display. I wonder if Apple sells this type?
