I was in Honduras, on a small island, in a crappy apartment with no TV, money or girlfriend. This was the product of my boredom.

It's made of wood and cost less than $5.
It's got 5 joints that allow for nearly any positioning and the actual device can be rotated to landscape or portrait. The only thing missing was a vertical rotation axis right by the nexus so it can can turn left and right. The string is a backup to stop everything collapsing on my face in the night.
Boredom is responsible for many great achievements :smile:

We really do not need that type of comment here......
OP instead of using the string on the wall.. Get two Star type locking washes on each side of the first upright angle bar.. they will dig into the wood and hold it tight without the string.... You could also file some groves into flat washers to achieve this and cut a few groves into the wood for them to seat into...
I Have a commercial made arm similar that i got for my Work van Years ago... Its in basement somewhere now
sorry to offend...
by the way, what does the term "knob" mean in your sig?
OK the idea was creative. The hands free comment was cute, give the guy a break! ?

ikea is kinda like posh in usa is it not ?
here it's seen as stuff you put together yourself
with 1 part missing all the time
and if you move and try to disasm it to brind it
and reasm it you'd end up wishing you had never been born
no office to swedish people

This is me at about 4 years old. I found a small white packet that looked like a sugar packet. It had a skull and crossbones on it - which is either the international symbol for POISON or for PIRATE CANDY! Being 4, I didn't know about the poison thing.
Let's just say pirates don't have good taste in candy.
Very nice................hahahahaha
here's mine
when i was 3, i used to watch my mom taking a bag and going out and then coming back after some time with the bag full of veggies, and other daily stuff.
one sunday (i now know it was sunday as dad was home) when dad and mom were asleep, i took the same bag and headed nowhere(i didn't know where my mom used to go)
i just though there will be 'somebody' who'll put the same stuff inside and i'll be back.
after many hours passed, my dad was out in the locality to trace me and finally found me at the police station where a i was standing with a cop who held me after he seeing a 3yr old walking alone on the roadside.
........by the way my dad confessed to me one day that the cop also angrily reminded my dad of his responsibility towards his family and especially his little son who thinks he is a grown up.
haha - that's a great looking MS Paint Cop!
I always knew this site was crawling with somethingawful.com goons.......

At first glance, we actually gagged upon seeing the jacket pictured above. Immediately after regaining our composure, we wondered how on Earth such a magnificent piece of retro kit could have such a negative impact on our lives -- then, it hit us. It's the dude. Seriously. Strap this $200, limited run jacket on anyone even remotely beautiful and we'd bet you too would see things differently. Or maybe it is just obscenely tacky, but it'd be much less so on anyone other than this fellow.
maybe that is the look of the target buyer?

Someone's lost their job, thanks to Engadget. At this time of record unemployment, as well .
So I wanted a stand but didn't want to spend money because I am broke right now. Had some scraps and some crafting tools laying around so I went to work. I measured it all out so that it doesn't stick out past the smallest dimensions of the Nook itself so it is pretty sleek. Added bonus, kind of happy accident is that all the buttons are accessible while in the stand and the speaker isn't being blocked so now I can use it as my primary alarm and it is plenty loud enough to wake me up. Before I had it face down with the speaker on the floor so I couldn't really hear it so I never used it as an alarm until now. The result was a nice looking, extremely light basically weightless and extremely sturdy Nook stand!!!
List of items:
1 Exacto knife and blade
1 piece of leftover foamcore or posterboard as some might call it
1 hot glue gun
1 leftover locktite
1 straightedge ruler
My final price = $0.00
This only ends up being free if you have these things laying around or you can get them free somewhere. otherwise if you have to buy any of this stuff you might as well buy a stand off ebay or something.

Nice! I just use the stand on the bottom of the box the nook came with.
Awesome work! Congratulations on your DIY stand!
Please post the measurements that you used
Like a lot of nexus owners I bought one of those cheap slimline cases off ebay soon after getting my nexus. And like a lot of nexus owners was treated to the corners cracking after about 4 weeks. So after a chunk fell off mine I decided to do something. I had some foil tape laying around the house and decided to reattach the corner and foil coat my case to give it a Chrome look. I suck at crafty things though and didn't have any real tools (just my pocket knife) so it didn't turn out great - but I thought I would post some pics in case someone else wanted to try to save one of these cases from the trash heap.
Edit: will upload pics later - my internet is giving me fits right now.

I completely agree - as soon as my internet allows me to post the pics instead of timing out I will get them up .
Can you please make your signature a bit bigger I can't see it.
+1, with my eyesight I can barely see that
These freaking cases are crap. Mine broke in 5 days without even a drop.
