Nice work Kalle.     So there is a little plug in device that goes into the amulet and it then lays on the cradle and makes contact.  Is that right?  In that case there is the small insert that would have to be stowed between uses or it would be permanently attached to the remote?

Hi mclough6,
yes that is correct, the small USB dongle can be plugged in all the time, it is virtually invisible. There is nothing of note. just hang up and they loads. 
I bought me a scroll saw, so I can edit the plastic better. I'll still try a few different design. If you have any suggestions for the design, post a sketch.
The whole can be set up well with wood, but plastic is the cheapest.

So, the next one    (without any cosmetic's)

Kalle

Ok, here is my next design (that is my favorit), please comment    (the usb cable is only connected temporarily for testing, the end product looks cleaner)

beautiful.  do you have to worry about it falling out the side?

No, the remote is in the lower part relatively fixed.
I need something to balance out the stand, since this is very light, but that's no problem. I will send one copy in the near future, then you can test it. Do you have any kind of wish for the foot? (different color, different material) at the time he's made of wood.

black metal is probably good and would have the required weight, but how to manage that is a different story.  Wood is always nice, and can be painted black.

[jitterjames]

a V shaped foot made from the same material as the rest of the stand would be nice too, if it is possible.

I think I can try out all three materials

Hello friends,
today I've completed the first cradle for amulet remote, and I hope you like it too.

Material: The base is made ​​of aluminum, so the amulet-remote can not fall over.
The stand itself is made of Makrolon (Bayer Material Science) is also called polycarbonate, and is not destroyed under normal circumstances.
In the upper part of the stand I have made ​​a point of black rubber, this fit exactly into a recess under the amulets remote.
On the back of the amulet, I have plugged in a modified mini-USB connector, this is practically not visible. To recharge the amulet placed simple in the cradle, thereby affecting the contacts from the mini-USB to the contacts from the cradle and the amulet recharge. Thats all 

Greetings Kalle

PS: He eddy, I hope you read this post and I give you a example, for what is important (for the next remote control from amulet) 

[mclough6]

Wow Kalle, that actually looks like a work of art.  Good job! 

[Wanilton]

Beautifull, Kalle is genious in design...excelent job...

Wow, Kalle - that's really nice work! I am very impressed. (And particularly good of you to post it on my birthday :-)

If you are planning on offering this as a product, I'd definitely like to order one for my own Amulet at home.

Out of curiosity, is the small insert for the USB socket on the remote easy to remove if needed (just in case you want to plug in a standard USB charge cable if travelling, for example)?

haha, thank's Eddy,
it is no problem to remove the mini-plug.

I have signed no patent on the cradle  , and wanted only to show amulet-devices it is not a great effort to create a charging cradle. From the idea through development and production (I tried several designs), it took me three weeks. I did not have all the tools in the house, so it needs this time. Since everything is handmade, and I need about 3-4 hours per cradle. The hardest part was the solution with the mini-plug (I have destroyed many USB cable until I knew how it works  )

Hi Kalle,

I just got back from vacation about 1/2 an hour ago.  I have been without internet for almost 5 days!!! 

Of course I checked the forum as soon as I unpacked and one of the first things I saw was your new cradle design.  Splendid!  Very beautiful.  I am sure you are proud of your work.  So cool.

Hi Wanilton and James,
proudly present ------- your "Air-Slide-Chargingcradle" for the Amulet-remote  

It is ready to ship. I've tested the funktion and it works perfect. I recommend a USB travel adapter, so you can stand up to the cradle everywhere.
