Re: Cable needed for dock connection

[Eric Caron]

Esther, John and others,

I just wanted to follow up with all those who sent me in the right 
direction to get the cable Jive dock extender cable.  I did get it from Amazon 
US and got the premium as Esther suggested.  It works great with the Otter box. 
 It also works well with not only my Sony dock but also it turns out I need it 
to use my car charger as that did not fit my case as well.

The cable seems well made and sturdy.  I actually prefer using the cable even 
with my old 3GS and the doc even though the 3GS can go directly onto the doc.  
I like to just hold it in my hand to use rather then poking at it sitting in 
the dock tray.

Thanks again to everyone for this tip and I highly recommend it for anyone who 
has a otter box or who wants to use a doc without setting the phone in the 
often delicate trey.

Re: Cable needed for dock connection

[Geoff Waaler]

Cablejive required negotiation of a  captcha in order to be informed
when the product what's available. The order process did not require
it.

I have a small concern about this product in that it quit functioning
after eight months. Then I stupidly waited beyond the warranty period.
 I intend to order another one; I was nice to my first one, but
perhaps it was a dud.
Best regards, Geoff

Re: Cable needed for dock connection

These extensions are just what I've been looking for. I just purchased one, 
along with the wall dock and, no, I did not have to negotiate a captcha to 
make the purchase.

Hi Eric,

Yes, the term you are looking for is "Dock extension or extender cable". 
Cable Jive makes these specifically for all the people who have Otterbox 
cases, and for whom other dock extension cables don't work because of the 
narrow opening of the Otterbox cases. (If you read the fine print, they'll 
often say that their  cables work for all cases except the Otterbox 
cases.)  Geoff Waaler ordered one of these directly from CableJive when he 
had to be on a waiting list before the first batch was produced well over 
a year ago.  In addition to the dockXtender product that came out in May 
2010 in two lengths, they have a new product introduced this September 
called the CableJive dockBoss+ that is designed to let you use Docks with 
Android and other non-iPhone players as well.  It has both a 30-pin 
connecter for iPhone/iPod/iPad docks, and also a standard micro USB plug 
and 3.5mm audio plug for Android and other phones. The dockBoss+ is mostly 
likely to be of interest for people who hav
e Android and other devicess that they also want to use with iPhone 
speaker docks.


CableJive also sells other specially long (or short) dock cables.  Geoff 
mentioned that he had to negotiate a CAPTCHA to buy his dock eXtender 
cables from the site over a year ago.  I don't know whether that is still 
true. You can also buy these from Amazon (U.S.), but make sure the product 
is named something like "CableJive dockXtender Premium Extension Cable for 
iPhone, iPod, iPad (Black, 2ft.)" or similar title with the 6 ft. length, 
so you get the cable that is compatible with the Otterbox, and not the 
older cables that are compatible with every case except for the Otterbox.


HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
