Mod your dock to work with iPhone 3G

Quote:

Two intrepid users have found a simple way to mod their old iPhone docks to work with iPhone 3G: a rotary tool.
All it takes, apparently, is grinding away about a millimeter of the plastic where the back of the iPhone 3G rests against the dock. A rotary tool with a tapered grinding bit appears to work the best, as it avoids touching the dock connector.
It might not have exactly the fit and finish of a new dock, but hey, the price is right if you already have the tools.
iPhone 3G docks are $29 at the Apple Store. Dremel grinding bits are about $10 for a five-pack.

Alright here is what you have to do.



1. Take the old dock that looks something like this.

2. Take a dremel tool, a nail file, or metal filer, and grind down the back and side of the dock.





3. Once you grind it down enough your iphone 3g will now fit in your first gen iphone!
