Hello! welcome to the DIY MP3 player thread.
 
 
I have been admiring my standing headphone display at my entertainment center and noticed i've regularly been leaving my iPod devices laying on the wood, and potentially/ possibly scratching the oh-so vulnerable stainless steel backplate which we all know how easily scratched it can become.
 
 
So one day of boredom before my Mind went atrophy, i grabbed a spare Xbox 360 HDD rack casing(i sold the Xbox360 HDD to a cousin who wanted it)
 
The HDD Rack casing is the metal grille/ rack that holds the HDD in place as its in the enclosure.
 
i bent it around, as it seemed to be really easy to bend and contort. and turned it to hold a Mp3 player!
 
being its also metal, which can easily scratch the metal of an iPod, i put electrical tape over it and a little felt bumper on the side to cushion the iPod.
 
 
here are some pictures!
 
  
 
  

In the end result, without anything on it it looks cheap, in this case: Bootleg.
but its not stupid if it works!
 
plus, put a 100-200$ device on there and it looks pretty good!
 
Things you need:
a uneeded Xbox360 HDD
Hands
creativity.

Another one i made, i made this in Geometry class, implementing use of 1 regular sized Paperclip.
 
There are many ways to bend a paperclip into a stand.
I did this one freehand with some creativity, using my Calculator to serve as a item to test the stand out.
 
This one albeit was really unplanned, and kinda unsturdy. but its purpose to stand a device that stands without movement was good enough for me.
 
It can only stand the iTouch that i have, but it cannot stand my iPod Video that i have in the other picture, which is using my other DIY stand.
the paperclip stand is finding practical good use for my iTouch.
