    I always thought a good spot would have been the flap panel where the cig lighter is.. although possibly only good for landscape viewing - e.g. google maps
    A few people have been interested in doing one for the iPhone 6. Might see what I can do about it this weekend.

    Haha yep can't do a lot about side chargers unfortunately. What would be cool though is to integrate inductive charging in a dock (for phones with that capacity obviously)

    Ok, managed to get a hold of some measurements from a mk6! I've made one or two alterations to iPhone 5/6 designs and they will now fit the mk6 platform. Those who expressed interest in the mk6 design I'll take a look through my inbox and try and get back to you.


    I've also had several expressions of interest for designs to suit other phones. Original post has been updated to track interest in other models.

    Putting through an order for several iPhone 6/6s docks this week. Anyone else who wants to be a part of this batch flick me a pm by Friday and I'll add you in.


    I'm also quite close to finishing a design for the galaxy 6/6 edge and will likely be placing the very first order for those interested in the next week or two

    Several people have contacted me recently looking for a nexus 5x design, which Ive just finished the other day. The below is a concept I put together for a customer just recently. The dock was custom designed to fit with his specific phone/case combination. There are obviously many different cases out there, and these docks work best when I tailor each design to the case in use. By "work best" I mean provide a good fit between the phone and dock with minimal "play" or movement.


    The nexus 5x is obviously moving into phablet territory, and starting to push space limitations in the console area. There has been some calls for an iPhone 6 plus design,and ill be looking at this next to see if I can make it work (its about 5mm wider and 10mm longer than the nexus). Will see what I can do!
