@OP - lookslike you have a serious hit on your hands here :)

Your stand is starting to get all over the web too. Google is listing it and even Nokia Blog has it too or is that yourself?

I really wish you a complete success for this but please, please make sure you file for some copyright on this idea. I know it means squat in some places but I'd like to see someone make ome cash for their own idea!

This looks great! I'd like to order 1 acrylic and 1 (painted) wooden stand to the UK please - happy to be part of the bulk shipment if it saves some cash, equally happy to pay a bit extra to cover shipping.

Cheers,
Jan

Hiya,

these look very nice. I'd like both an acrylic and a wooden one (one for the desk and the other for the bedside), do you have paypal?

Best regards and thanks,

Roundyz

I'd be happy to reserve a set of the "mixed package," that is, if you can ship to the Philippines :)

Nokia Blog is definitely not me! My blog is at www.danreetz.com. I do own the copyright on this design, and I hope that I can meet everyone's demands with no problems!

I'd love one if you can ship to the UK provided that the shipping isn't too much.

Hi, I'm also interested in buying three, 2 with clear acrylic and one with black one. Thanks very much!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
If you're shipping to the UK, I'd happily part with $15 for two of the wooden ones, the N900 stand really is a bit weak!

You can put me down for the 3X wooden @ $20.

It's a laser cutter made by Epilog. Actually, I won the laser by building a book scanner. Much more on that, including my laser cut book scanner on www.diybookscanner.org if you're interested.

I need to get through the present orders, but there have been 4 or 5 requests for black.

After the present orders all ship, and I get some feedback on this community-enhanced version, I'll see about doing some small custom runs like this.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
fake, what is the latest update on the stands? are they still available for ordering? and what about he black acrylic ones? I'd be interested in 2 black acrylics...

also, I know some people will hate me for saying this, but I don't think the price is bad at all when taking into consideration that mailing these take time too...

Thanks for the great work =)

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
I just updated the first post. Here is what I posted there:

UPDATE Monday 1:00PM:

Preorder/reservation time is OVER! Everyone who posted so far has a stand in production right now. :D:) I will try to finish them tonight, and I will PM you with a notification when your stand is done! I will have a simple online shopping cart for you to place your order/pay. For this set, it will take PayPal only. You can use a credit card through your PayPal account if you like. I will also take cash or money order by mail.

Don't worry if you missed the preorder. I will make a few hundred more and make them available for sale. It might take until Friday to get another batch done. I hope to get credit card processing set up by Friday.

As for black acrylic, it's gonna be a while. My highest priority is to finish these preorders/reservations, and they will be done tonight.

Then, I need to find a good local source of black acrylic and see how it works. Plan for a couple weeks at least.

Can i add one acrylic stand to my order ?

fake 2010-02-08 20:58

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Yes you can -- I have changed your order.

Don't worry though. The next batch will be done ASAP. Remember, I've only had like 3 days to develop, price, pack, and ship this product (the first version was good, but not good enough for me to sell to you guys), and I had a laser failure right in the middle of it!

Laser is currently working on these and so am I -- skipped my classes today to get them done!

Now I'm looking for a good local source of envelopes.

Have you got your N900 running your Laser Cutter yet? :D

Can I order a mixed set for shipping to the UK please - they look fantastic!

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
Hey all,

Here's the status.

1. Preordering is done.

2. I am completing the last steps of producing all of the stands today and tonight.

3. After all stands are complete, I will PM all people who preordered so they can order;

4. Then I will produce another batch, available probably Friday. There will be an online store (I'm finishing that tonight) where you can buy them. You won't need to contact me at all, it will be just an online store like any other.

Please hold tight while I get everything together! I am really working like crazy to get this done.

I'd take a mixed pair for $22 (shipping to the UK included ?)... let me know !

At some point, I will share the artwork, but not just yet. Do you have a laser, too?

:) I haven't forgotten, but I've spend most of my time trying to get everyone's orders done.

The video has three parts so far.

1, I try to smash them with my fist.
2, I drop an aluminum block on them.
3, I break them apart like chicken wishbones.

I also have some comparisons of the new non-slip coating and stuff. Anything else you'd like to see?

Maybe just like a demo of playing around with the N900 while its on the stand, but I know you would probably cover that :)

UPDATE 11:36CST.

ALL preordered STANDS HAVE BEEN MANUFACTURED! YES!

Some production shots:

All acrylic stands, waiting to be packed:

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/stands1.jpg

Many parts of the wooden stands (they look SO GOOD in black):

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/stands2.jpg

The super-secret no-slip finish drying on a bunch of pieces:

http://danreetz.com/for_maemo/stands3.jpg

Next up, I will finish a new video showing the stands.

Then, if I am awake enough, I will finish the web-store where you can buy them.

Finally, I found a local source of envelopes. It might take until Wednesday to get them, but that means if I get stuff going, everyone can pay tomorrow, we can sort out details, and I can ship Wednesday. I'm sure there are some problems that will come up with shipping, but Wednesday is a good bet.

Believe me, I have put every possible hour, dollar, and effort into making these things really great and doing this right. I am sorry it is taking so long to get them done, but it will be worth it.

Hi,

Not sure whether my order was for the wooden one or the acrylic (page 5 of this thread). Would like the acrylic one if possible.

Thanks.

Had you down for a wooden one. Order updated. 1x acrylic.

Do you want 3 wooden or 3 acrylic?

Users:

Persson,
Phedders,
and
TomChiverton have been added to the pre-order. That's all I can absorb until the next batch. Cheers all.

Don't be sorry. I think you have been remarkably fast considering that when you first posted here, the stand wasn't even final. I know you have already manufactured first set of stands, but IF it's possible i would like to change from 2 wooden to 1 wooden and 1 acrylic. If not, no can do.
thanks.

Re: Laser-Cut Stand for N900
 
How about a hinged version so I can fold it down and slip it into a pocket in my backpack... I think I'll loose the side pieces pretty quickly if I have to pop them off every time I travel, but this would look so great a the tray table!

But I am in for the combo set, one wood and one acrylic. Thx


Thanks,

Mike
