Anyone in the states willing to do me a favor and snatch one of this (cradle) and mail to me? There aren't any Office Depot in PR and my next trip to the mainland is at the end of April. I'll send money via Paypal.

It would be GREATLY appreciated!!

The "Franken Case" it is a cradle hack with a USB hub attached to it. It was created by forum member "jmbneaf." Visit his website for more information:

thanks for finding that for me. I was looking last night and could not find it for the life of me.

No worries. I have been studying his mods and want to try them sometime. If only I can find a good deal on a cradle to try and not brake it.

11 bucks is hard to beat.

The Office Depots in the Cleveland area all closed about 3 years after they opened. They don't sell cradles on their web site either. Need to find another cheep source in the Cleveland area.

sorry to hear that. i work for them and its kinda making me wander why they are closing all the cradles and cables out. usly that doesn't happen till the other main products gone.
