"Extender" cable from dock to iPhone?

Question

"Extender" cable from dock to iPhone?

It's too involved to explain why, but I would like to get an extender cable that would plug into the dock for my iPhone (where the phone usually would go) and then plug that cable into the phone itself.

This would means a "female" flat plug to "male" flat plug.

Does anyone know if such a thing exists?

Hmm .. I suspect there may be such a thing. I use a usb extender cable with mine, but that's just a usb-usb cable.

You might check the Apple store .. or do a Google search.

Yes, these do exsist. What your looking for is a usb extension cord. I have one myself because sometimes the charging cable isnt long enough. I found mine in a box from a usb wi-fi adapter. Im sure if you look around you could find one.

I bought one from CableJive called a "Dock Extender Cable", I think this what you are looking for.

I took my Apple Keyboard's extender cable and put it on the iPhone one. Then purchased a Geek Squad 12' cable at Best Buy for the keyboard.

Sounds like you found what you need. However, IF your problem involved being able to plug into the IP with a case attached, a "flip" case could also solve the problem. On a lark, I bought an alcohol breath tester that is powered by the IP, but I found I couldn't power it with my IP in a case. So, I was also looking for an extender until I found the Countour Flip case which did away with my need for an extender cable.

A better solution for my problem in that I don't have to carry a cable around (which I would probably misplace in about a nano second.
