Perfect for iPhone/Otterbox Defender after 2 minutes,

As stated in an earlier review, this extension cable works perfectly with the iPhone (3GS) and Otterbox Defender case. Just a few notes on compatibility:
- It only takes a couple of minutes to file down the width of the cord to match the Otterbox Defender case. The plug actually has two little buttons on the side that you press in to retract the side prongs and remove it from the iPhone. You do not need to file the entire side of the plug--just the portion past the buttons (a very small segment of the plug). I filed up to about halfway up the side button on one side, but mostly avoided the button on the other side. Using a typical nail file on the soft plastic takes only two minutes to shave off the necessary width.
- The extension cable works perfectly for charging and audio. I use this with my FM transmitter adapter and lighter port mini USN charger, so that I can transmit my iPhone 3GS sound to my car speaker system. All three devices work together...Read more

Worked perfectly to play iPad through the Bose sound dock. The iPad doesn't charge in that configuration but it doesn't nag about it.

Iphone /Otterbox,

I just received my dock extender today in the mail. I am very pleased with my purchase. I had purchased an Otterbox Defender case 2 months ago to protect my phone. I have not been able to dock my iphone on my newly purchased Sony speakers for 2 months. It would have been a pain to remove the casing each day to dock/charge my phone everyday. I have been on hunt for dock extender. I called Otterbox; they did not have any recommendations. I went to the Apple store, they directed me to the internet. I looked online at Amazon.
When I received the extender it did not fit the insertion point on otterbox case at first. Just as another reviewer noted on another review / through 'youtube' the device would need to be sanded down a little on each side. I used a nail file to sand down the sides of the extender device enough to allow it to insert through the entry point of the Otterbox case. You can use a sand paper/emeryboard/nail file to sand/file each side of the extender. Within...Read more
