SendStation Dock Extender for iPod (White)

not great solution but the only one out there 2010-05-12

Reviewer: keysgirl

I got this to use in a Belkin dock Belkin TuneSync Charging Dock for iPod (White)that I hoped it would fit into but it did not. I am not faulting the product for this and was planning to make it work somehow even if it was not pretty. However, the problem was that when I plugged it into my dock and then my iphone (3GS) into it then tried to disconnect the phone with one hand the whole dock comes of the desk. Even if I tried to rock it off the adapter piece came with the phone. I returned it as defective and Amazon gave me no trouble because I don't think it is right for the end that connects to the phone to be tighter than the connection to the base if that makes sense. I am taking off a star for this (unless that was a defect with mine) and one for the price which is ridiculously high for what you get. As the only mfr that makes such a thing I guess it is their prerogative to charge this much but it is something I hope others start making soon! I think if you are dealing with a heavier base (like one associated with a speaker system) it might be robust enough to allow you to remove it easily or if it is something you do not disconnect often then it might not be a problem. Mine is on my desk and I take it off the dock no less than 2x per hour and this amounts to more work than taking my case off!

Works with Otterbox Defender Case for iPhone 3GS.. with a little tweaking 2010-01-19

I recently purchased this dock extender after plenty of research. I was trying to find a solution to the seemingly universal problem of mounting an iPhone 3GS equipped with the Otterbox Defender case to a dock. This is by far the best solution. Although the extender will not fit through the case at first, a slight modification to the small piece with a Dremel will do the trick. You simply use a sanding bit on a Dremel (if you have one, or you can ask around your friends to borrow one as I did) and shave off a small section on each side of the dock extender, and Presto! Fits like a glove and works brilliantly. I am using my iPhone 3GS with the Boston Acoustics HDUOIPW Duo-I Plus iPhone/iPod Dock AM/FM Stereo Radio and Clock Functions (Gloss White) and the dock extender works great. The back support really helps as well to keep the plugs from wobbling loose. It might be a little pricey, but it's the only clean-looking solution to iPod/iPhone case docking issues on the market right now.

Great for use with iPod case 2009-11-24

This was exactly what I needed. I have the ToughSkin rubberized case on my iPod Classic and with this extender I don't need to take off the case to put it in the Apple iPod dock. The backing piece holds the iPod well too. I've been using this over a year now and my only complaint is that sometimes the extender piece comes out a little when I take the iPod off it.

This SendStation Dock Extender for iPod/iPhone is very practical and useful. It fits right into your docking station and the other send goes right into you iPod or iPhone.. It makes it possible to put your iPod or iPhone 3G on a docking station without having to remove the protective case. If it were not for this little extender, I would have to remove my case each time to put my iPhone on the docking station to charge and sync. This item is a must. It is a little expensive, but it's the only thing of its type on the market and has helped me tremendously. It is worth the price!

Nice! 2009-01-09

This is a very nice product. I have a belkin tunedock that didn't want to play nice with my iPhone or Ipod Classic in the case. When I saw this I thought it would be worth the try. It works and makes me happy.
