[Q] Looking for a Nook Color Dock

[.milFox]

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.

Wow that's a cool Saturday project. The Friendly Plastic stuff looks awesome.

yes it is, Look at the reviews on amazon. You can do so many things with it. The only thing I would warn people about is that once the plastic hardens the finish might not look good (depending how good you are at getting it smooth while is still pliable), you will probably have to add plaster like I did or car putty for scratches and such, once that dries you can sanded down and pain. That would give the best result.

I got a Heritage charging station for xmas and it has iPod, micro/macro usb, usb and one other type of connector on it. The Nook Color actually can stand in it but I use it horizontally to only charge the NC. The included micro-usb will charge my N1 but won't charge the Nook Color at all. The hole in the back of the station for the power supply was able to accommodate the Nook Color's plug without any alteration.

Here are some pics

It's sold at Frontgate.com.
