This guy built a dock for iPhone 5 for a $1

I don't have this problem but if you have an iPhone 5 (or whatever you want to call the latest) then you can build a dock for it for $1 with some scrap wood:

Uhmn... yeah, he converts the mobile cable to a fixed spot in the house... he'll still have to buy one to use in the car, $19 from Apple. I tend to be able to simply lay the phone down when at home, not needing to have it constantly displaying anything. It was tough to learn not to be constantly "connected," but it hasn't caused me any physical problems, yet.

BTW, I missed what actually cost the dollar. Did he go out and buy two new screws at a drug store?!

Xairbusdriver - are you telling us that you don't have a jelly jar full of screws and other hardware?  What do you do with all your loose screws?    I think it's a good idea for the cellphone to be somewhere other than on my belt (where it gets knocked loose) or on some surface (where it's likely to get buried).

Of course, I have loose screws!!! I'm just trying to figure out what cost $1! Looks like he already had everything he needed, including the electricity! I think the technical term for my question is "quibbling!"
