    Well, first excuse me if I don't use the bookbinder-english correct words as I'm not a native speaker. How did i build docking stations? Well, the way you create the back of a book (not of course the "inlay" or "pages") is usually by working on a thick board (you may call it "paperboard") and covering it with some sort of leather (my literal translation would be "leather paper"). With the same technique you can create other objects as well. Boxes would be the most obvious ones but any form that comes to your mind and you consider doable. I basically did that "around" a cable ;-)

      Most cool. I totally wasn't ridiculing you. I apologize profusely if that's how it came off. I would never make fun of anyone's English, and I didn't find yours defective anyway. I was sincerely trying to wonder how a leather docking station would work. Also, I haven't seen docking stations around in ages.

      Thank you. I was too focused on the paper aspect of bookbinding to see the potential in the other parts.
