Hi All!

So my development on this kind of stalled when my Mini was stolen from outside my flat a month ago. Yeah, really. (Here's the development thread: http://www.theminifo...-iphone-holder/)

Anyways, I have a run of 4 electronics kits ready to go - assembly instructions are found here: http://dashiphone.wordpress.com/. These will be £24 + £3 for UK delivery.

I'll also make a run of 4 non-electronic kits on demand. These will be £12 + £3 for UK delivery.

This run will just be for the iPhone 4 / 4S. I'll be very keen to hear any comments so I can take them on board for the next run.

By default the cradle will fit a naked iphone, but if you give me the additional size added by your case I can size it for this. This is best measured with calipers of some form, though it's possible to estimate it with a ruler. I'll need the overall width and thickness, and the extra thickness added to the back and front of the phone so that i can offet the connector accordingly. Some cases only add thickness to the back of the phone.

Please drop me a PM if you're interested.

I love this, if I wasn't selling my mini I'd certainly be getting one. Hope all the interest turns into purchases for you.

Would an iPhone 3GS (I'm definitely not keeping up with the times.. :P) fit in one of these? Would be really useful for the sat nav...

I have just one more electronic kit left, PM me if interested! I can also do more non-electronic ones. I'm going to see how the 4s ones go, and then start to look at the iphone 5. Unfortunately apple have introduced an authentication chip to their new lighting cables which makes things a bit more complicated for charging. I'm also looking at a USB version, for head units that incorporate usb charging & audio. This will probably be a more realistic option for the iphone 5:
