Default Here is a Streak tilt-stand I found.

How many times have you wanted your cell phone more visible on your desk instead of laying flat where you can't really see what is going on like incoming messages etc. Or to use as a clock or weather station? Check this out. You can make most phones work on this stand:

Since I can't find anything local made for this Dell Streak 5, here is a tilt-stand I found at the Barnes & Noble book store.
Perfect size for it with the gap for the cord at the bottom.
It is a stand for small paperback books. $13 Barnes & Noble.

Here is the info on getting yours:

Barnes & Noble sells our silver-black Bookhug™ in stores and online (look for a blue-silver box in stores).
We sell both our silver-black Bookhug , and our violet-plum Bookhug online at: www.bookhug.com , accepting payment by PayPal.
We're getting good feedback from customers who really like our Bookhug to hold their KINDLES and other eReaders, notebook computers, and more--even framed pictures. Some people put a small piece of craft foam to the inside of Bookhug's tabs to protect their 'electronics' (double-sided tape would hold the foam in place).
http://www.bookhug.com/

For those of you in Europe, you can order it here from Serious Readers:

I have a violet-plum Bookhug coming and will post pictures of that when I get it.

When I see tilt stand I picture a tilting/rotating stand, that looks like a big business card stand. If thats what you need though, great find.

Actually, I didn't know the name of it as I threw the box away at the store.
It's fixed as you can see in the second picture. It is for a small paperback book to be hands free and hold the pages in place.
What made it perfect is it had the cutout needed for the USB cable.
I imagine you can find similar items at the bookstore.

With minimal modification (routed streak charge cord, cut small hole, little glue.) I was able to make this type of PSP 1000 Dock into an ideal Streak Dock.

Just routed cord into side of base and cut a hole in bottom center of dock to route cord through, glued connector to it with superglue while it was in the streak (be careful) so it would be aligned properly, let it dry and this thing works perfectly.

This type of dock would work as just a holder without the modifications, but I wanted a charging dock.

20 min with a screwdriver and small drill was well worth it.

Doesn't do any good without actual pictures of the streak in it etc.
You know the cutting process, gluing with the streak in it, the final process.
I think you Hijacked my thread.
You should make separate post on your project, not use mine.

My apologies, I did not mean to offend or hijack your thread, I was just commenting on an alternative that I found that worked for me and was actually a response to eSZee's post above as it does tilt, but does not rotate.

I didn't post pics, etc. because I do not even consider it a "project", it's just a simple re-purpose of some junk I had laying around.

Again, my apologies for treading on your turf.

With an attitude like yours, how can I be mad?
My apology for jumping on you.
