    Not bad! Looks like it could be used to hold a lot of different things because of the size.

    Hmmmm.... don't wanna spend six bucks on a ready-made cellphone holder, but you'll spend three on a Rockstar energy drink?

    If I had to guess, he used the phone to take the pic. Maybe he has a scrap phone kicking around to demonstrate how it works and such.

    And how much do you drink that you know the price and can spot it by just the tab

    I don't drink that nasty stuff... but my hawt cousin used to be one of the Rockstar energy girls. I swear she had to have been switched at the hospital at birth... she's way hotter than anyone else in this family!

    omg it is so silly I went to take a pic of my phone in this but then my camera died on me so I took this pic with my camera in it lmafo and as for my phone I have a droid 3 for other things yes mini tacos may work in there and no its just a stocking cap. as for using alu its what worked best and its shines lol. as for rockstar I work with venders in my area and companies and I get rockstar for 25cents a can as long as I buy a min of 25cases prices will go up this summer but that's why I buy in advance.

    Keep up with the Smith's that's the american way. Top of the line cell phone because everyone does.

    Thread hijack..... does anyone notice you use more than what you saved when you buy in bulk?

    P.S. 25 cases of Rockstar is either 250 or 500 cans. If you're drinking more than one a day there's a problem. Even at the "supposed" quarter a piece.

    wow the whole negative bash is unexpected so I will address this now first off that's 600cans which I only drink 1-3day and its split up between friends and family to save money and saves a lot that way for all of us same with all of us using coupons to buy a lot save a lot and donate even more. as for my cell phone first off even if I did buy this its worth every penny for everything it saves me everyday and the 2 years I have had this I am sure its made me an extra 10-15k the best it does at auctions to look stuff up find a price and a buyer even before I bid or buy an item. but guess what I did not even have to pay for it because I got it for free in a box of others and took the battery out of one and put it in this one and it worked great and has since then. as for keeping up with the smiths even if i felt the need to it would be free because all the smiths on all the streets fighting to keep up with each other waste a lot and i pick it up so if i felt the need to i would be on top because i have all the money saved that they spent on all the crap they gave me lol

    haha, I wasn't trying to bash with the "taco" thing, I was really only wanting to joke about other possible uses, and, sadly enough, it did sort of remind me of a deep fryer taco holder I used in a fast food place I worked at in school ; )
    Your tinkering is right on target, pretty cool actually. I have an old simulated computer motherboard clock on the wall of my computer area that gets numerous comments, but to anyone who actually knows what one really looks like would know it isn't even a real piece of a computer, at least yours is : )
