Um, did you even see what he did? The way he has it set up should be more than strong enough. It has absolutely no stress on it...

I would suggest putting velcro on the back of the ipod, that way the ipod and amp are securly held together and there is less risk of teh connector snapping or whatnot.
When travelling with this set, I carry them both in a bag and never pick the iPod alone for changing songs. This piece will give no problems whatsoever in the bag even not when you put that bag on the table. It can even stand on the piece The velcro is a good idea though I used a rubber band up to now.
BTW if you pick up the iPod alone 6" will hardly be enough. When I am at home lying/listening on the couch I hold the iPod solely in my hand but then I have a 10'' cable otherwise you keep 'dragging' that amp along .
Thanks for the nice comments and advise.

Before it was
A192's 1/4"ts jacks -> 1/4"ts to 1/4" trs Y combiner -> 1/4"-1/8" converter -> monster mini-rca -> amp
Now its
