So I was thinking about getting a metal band for my urbane... But the continuous bands make the charging cradle a little less than Ideal. I thought, If there was only an elevated stand for the watch. So... I've got this giant junk bin where I save all sorts of spare parts from around the house. I took a shot and whipped up a pretty cool stand in about 15 minutes (+ 45 mins paint dry time) IT came out pretty good and displays the watch nicely while charging (For reading the time on the nightstand at night).
I thought I'd share so some of you do-it-yourselfers might be inspired.
I used a brass piece from an old screen door handle as the base, An antique copper looking drawer handle for the elevated arm, a $15 replacement charging cradle I had from Amazon, Black spray paint, and some heavy duty double sided tape to hold the charger to the stand. (I wanted to be able to take it apart if it didn't work well, but I may switch to Gorilla Glue). I only used these things, because it's the best stuff I had in the bin of spare parts for this purpose.

1997 Legacy GT with lots of tasteful mods.
5spd, with only 122k on motor, and 134k on body. Motor was replaced by Subaru at 11,000 miles. I found this out via the carfax report.
Lowered
Full exhaust w/ unequal length header
Cusco front strut bar
Brembo Slotted rotors, and pads
Short throw shifter
Nice interior except for tear in front drivers side leather seat.
This car is nice, but does have a few dings. I am completly honest about the car. The front bumper is also badly scraped, and would look best if replaced. But not to worry I have a JDM front bumper that would need to be painted to match, but I'll throw that in with the purchase of the car. I also just put in a brand new used rear diff in and the car is running like a champ!
Check engine light is also on, I think for an 02 sensor or something not sure.

please let me know about this product if anybody has got one. I ordered one, will be receiving tomoro.
i have this.
I like it when i use it but thats only on trips usually.
The design is a little bulky on the sides but on the positive side its very padded so as not to scratch the device.
I like the little flap/clip things on the bottom. it provides a lil extra support because when my phone is still in its stock case it fits a little wierd but has never falllen out of the holder. The flaps are also far enough apart they don't get in the way of the charging or 3.5 jack.
The base fits snug in my cup holder which is a plus...
You will need to slide the right side of the case down as it wil continue to hit your volume keys but overall, though the design is not the prettiest, its functional, i trust it to hold my HD2 and was pretty cheap considering some of the other holders i've ran into.
I bought mine expecting the worst and it's came in handy quite a bit, i don't think you'll be disappointed.
I found this nice Plunger Stand on the internet, but i want to know if it does plung well to the back of an HD2 before ordering it, anybody tried it?

I got one about 4 months ago
Its great for me keeps the phone firmly in position for many hours at a time and only on a few occasions has it fell off.
Well worth the couple of £'s spent imho
But does it vacuum strong enough with the not smooth surface we have at the battery cover ? cause the iPhone 4 has glass in the back.
LMAO thats a great little thing to have. Even if it does not work well I would like to have one just for kicks. :]
hahaha!!! this thing its funny!! i think it will hold well on the steel surface on the back !!
Its just a $1 in focalprice.com with free shipping but you have to bear with the 2 weeks delivery time as it ships from HK.. Also it doesn't hold my HD2 for long.. My HD2 has a shiny back as I have full body Zagg shield..
Does anyone have any suggestions or ideas for making the back cover of my i9000 less oily?
I have been using a case for a long time partly because my galaxy back constantly gets oily from my hands, but I really want to go slim and case-free now!
EDIT: might see if i can track down some of this plasti-dip stuff http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=881062
i think a replacement back cover is your best bet
unless you go through the hassle of sanding it down, buffing it up, smoothing it out, painting it... Not worth it, get a new cover. loads to choose from

Thanks, looks nice!
I had the same problem with hands sweating holding was quite risky. I bought a silicon rubber cover with rough dotted surface which gives you good grip & no marks on the back plate.
Well, you can always put grip tape on it. That will solve the slippery issue and the fingerprint issue.
But it might make a hole in your pocket
So I changed my band yesterday but it's a bit too chunky to fit on the charger flush. I love the strap and don't want to change it to a slimmer one - I just wondered if anyone had cracked open the charger to see what's inside. Ultimately what I want to be able to do is shave off a 22mm wedge from the top and bottom to allow the strap to fit into it - but I don't know if there's anything critical in there which might interfere with it...
Cracked mine open, y'know, for science.

Looks like I could quite happily do what I need with no issue other than making it look ugly. However, turns out that I can make the watch fit without it...so this internal image is just a bonus for those interested. Disassembly is easy.
Peel off the rubber ring from the bottom.
There are 3 tiny crosshead screws to remove. Then it's a case of inserting a thin screwdriver in between the outside and inside parts and prising it open. There are little notches which you can use to get purchase on it. That's pretty much it.
