Default [Q] Looking for a Nook Color Dock

Anyone know of a charging stand with a microUSB plug at the bottom that you can use as a dock?

None that I've seen as of yet.

I considered rigging up some sort of charging dock using the NOOKcolor box and the bundled usb charger, but I'm too lazy.

I would be suprised to ever see one given the difficulty many have insert the cable in there.

It'd also be unwiedly I would think to have that thing standing up in a cradle.

I was thinking of drilling a hole in the bottom of the box that the nook came in for a dock. lol

Its hacky, but it works... I made the opening on my hack job big so no stress will be placed on the usb jack...

First thing I did was drill a hole in the box to set my NC there to charge the first night. Then moved it to the kitchen. It is a touchscreen music player and recipe file now. While I am eating I look at news. Then while listening to music I drop a cookie for the Koi fish on my live wallpaper. I love my NC!

I am thinking a 2x2 block of stained oak with a dove tail groove running down the middle would with felt lining would work well. it may need a rear buttress, but it should work well.

I am looking for the same thing, I don't think there is any, but I have made custom dock before and I'm planning to do it again for the my nook. you can follow my guide for my fascinate custom dock bellow. If you buy the small bottle of pellets you can spend as little as $20 total.
