I’ve seen some pretty inexpensive iPad docks, but I thought I could take the next step to make one that is virtually free! I made this little beauty out of a single piece of paper. Well, it actually took 3 pieces of paper in order to work out all the bugs, but at $0.015 a sheet, this thing ran me a little less than a nickel!
Admittedly, this was originally designed for just iPhones (seeing as I haven’t purchased an iPad yet), but surprisingly worked well for iPads too, as the following image demonstrates!

Its very simple to make your own!
- Download the template
- Print it out (preferably on thick paper!)
- Cut it out (and scoring it makes it easier too)
- Glue it
- Enjoy!

There you have it!
