Soft Copper Wire Desk Stand - alphagrip

May 23rd, I received my AG and used it as sole input device from that day on. I did need a way to easily put it down and pick it up. so I used a piece of insulated soft copper electrical wire and gently pushed it between the case and the usb connector. Squeezed the insulation with a pair of pliers to make it thinner. Twisted both ends to obtain an easy stand/rest capability:

I just wanted to share this with the community. it is an easy and effective mod.

I do not know what gauge it is. The diameter of the solid copper wire appears to be about 1.1 mm.

That's perfect! That is what I had in my head when I made the stand for mine. I have since removed that stand from mine, but only because I was moving it back and forth from work to home (more on that in another post). Questions though. What gauge wire is it? Looks like 12 or 14awg. (mm is fine too if that is your local wire size measurement).

Hi, I am a new gripper and described my 2-cents 2-minutes desk stand. Click on http://groups.google.com/group/alphagrip/web/soft-copper-wire-desk-stand - or copy & paste it into your browser's address bar if that doesn't work. Enjoy, Guivho.
