Make A Quick Stand For Your Gp2x

[Jackie B]

down and dirty! I just came back from a short break and was thinking in the hotel how cool it would be if I could have a nice portable stand for my GP2X - you know, for movies or music when I was pottering about the hotel room. Anyway, when we were out shopping, I saw a 100Yen shop (erm, think 50p Shop or Dollar Store) and I went in, thinking I might find a collapsible photo frame or something.

Much better idea! Allan keys! :lol:

Seriously - just get the right sized one, stick the longer end in the recessed screw area, and hey presto! Instant GP2X stand.

links dont work for larger images, but looks quite cool, im a bit dissapointed the 2X cant stand like that on its own, it NEARLY can, but the top makes it a bit too heavy and it falls over.

Good Idea! Thnx! And Happy New Year!!

Those are the... six-sided bolt turner thingys? Nifty.

Talking about the backside of 2X, anyone else have *something* protruding trough the sticker on the back?

a pocket of air?

Seems more solid than that. Right under "a" in "entertainment".

If you slide the battery cover open a bit it stands safely enough.

under the letters ERTA is a circular pocket of air, cause the sticker wasnt put on properly, underneath i can feel the top of what seems to be a screw

can't u just find anything like a book or salt shaker to lean it against?

one less thing to carry.

Haha, that's awesome, Jackie B. The easiest solution is often the best!

I was thinking about that, but you beat me to it.

No, it is the dimple where the case comes out of the mold, just a little bit of plastic left over from the casting process, you can see it clearly in some of the early pictures of pre-production units sent to gpain.com for instance (gspain?).

I just happened to snag a cheap little flyer stand from a hotel room a couple of years ago (much easier than stealing towels) and it makes a great stand too. I've seen similar ones at Staples for pretty cheap, like a buck.

I just use my psp's stand. At least one thing I can thank sony for
Yes it's true, I have a PSP, but where are the friggin' games?

I own 7, for a portable that's not so bad. But they seem to be concentrating on movies more this year since they're easier and faster to produce.
