Step by step instructions:

Measure and mark the cardboard to a precise 10.75x18.25" rectangle, then cut to spec.

Mark the cardboard bend points first at 3.5 inches and then at an additional 5.75 inches.

On the 5.75" length, which the N10 will rest against, mark two "X"es about 4 inches up and 1 inch from the edges where the Velcro buttons will be placed. When assembled the buttons should end up resting 75% up the length of the N10.

Bend the cardboard at the 3.5" and 5.75" marks using a table edge.

Take two Velcro buttons (rough sided only) and stick them on the two "X" marks made in step #3. Optionally staple those Velcro buttons to the cardboard.

Form the cardboard into a triangle and secure with duct tape.

Use black tape secure the paperclips together length wise. The tape is used to prevent scratching the N10.

Secure the taped paperclips with a pair of pliers about a quarter length down the from the taped end. Use the other pliers to bend the taped end to an angle of 90 degrees.

Securely loop the four elastics together but do not make a complete circle.

Put the joined elastics through the cardboard triangle side opening.

Thread the plastic coated tie wire through the un-bent end of the paperclips then join the elastic ends with paperclips and tie wire. The paperclips should be centred so that it can be used as a secondary brace for the N10.

Open the egg carton and cut a hole JUST big enough to allow insertion of the pogo plug. Review the accessory pictures for where to cut.

Place the egg carton face down (flat side down) with the lid opening facing towards you.

With a 20" length of duct tape secure the cardboard triangle to the egg carton lid (not wrapped around the whole carton!). Review the finished product pictures for exact placement.

Cut two 10 inch lengths of duct tape and secure the back of the cardboard triangle so that the N10's weight does not tip the triangle forward.

Open the egg carton lid and insert the pogo plug end through the centre hole and thread the USB end out one of the cartons's side holes.

Get two Velcro fuzz buttons and press them against the two rough buttons on the cardboard triangle with the sticky side facing out. During construction it is very easy to achieve perfect alignment with the N10 if you DO NOT directly stick the fuzzy Velcro buttons to the N10. Take advantage of the Velcro.

Dock the N10 by pulling the pogo plug out just enough to attach it to the N10. Then rest the N10 in the egg carton slot being careful to keep the N10 from touching the sticky Velcro buttons. Left/Right centre the N10 then push it back to make contact with the sticky Velcro. buttons. Press firmly on the cardboard back and on the N10's top edge so that the Velcro buttons stay attached to the back of the N10.

Hook the paperclip brace over the top edge of the N10.

Optionally add a Velcro button (rough side only) on the inside of the cardboard triangle to secure OTG accessories. Add a fuzzy Velcro button to all OTG accessories. This step should be done after dock assembly is completed to improve Velcro placement accuracy.
