NVIDIA Shield Tablet Dock Idea

After using my shield tablet for a week or so, I love it and find myself using console mode with an Ethernet adapter. The only problem is its ulgy. I have a mini HDMI adapter a micro splitter for power and a USB Ethernet adapter, all just sitting beside my tv.

A docking station similar to one I have seen for an Acer tablet would be nice. It should hold the tablet horizontally and have the micro USB and mini HDMI on the side and the back would have Ethernet power and full size HDMI. And maybe use the magnets intheshield some way. Also, an additional full size USB for a hard drive but I'm not sure if the micro USB could support power, ethernet, and a hard drive.

Anyway I would love to see somebody with some soldering skills and a 3D printer and make a prototype.

Why not try to make it yourself, you already have the adapters just make a case for them.

I'm messing around with some cardboard to see what I can come up with.

If you can buy this USB 3.0 powered hub

and if you have any spare legos lying in your toy chest. Build yourself your own custom stand for your nvidia tablet with the usb hub built into the stand to hold it in place alongside with the HDMI and usb cord.
