iphone 4/4s bumper dock adapter

Hi there,

I'd like to get a dock adapter for my iphone 4s to enable it to dock with the bumper case fitted.

I know it works with the universal dock without any adapter but this doesn't support the phone and could cause damage. It also doesn't look right without any dock adapter fitted.

I've searched the internet for hours but haven't found any suitable solution. Why don't apple make a dock adapter for the iphone 4/4s that enables it to dock with the bumper case fitted?

Thanks, Matt

Mac mini, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.2)

As fellow users like you, we would have absolutely no idea of why Apple does what it does. Speculation is prohibited by the terms of use of this forum.

I'm more asking if anyone knows of a solution.

My question about Apple's decision not to make the adapter is basically rhetorical. It's a weird call from them.

Perhaps, then, if you state clearly what your question is, you'll get helpful answers. No one here can read your mind.

I don't know what options you have looked at, but the solutions that I have looked at are dock exteners and dock extension cables. I personally opted for a dock extension cable. Click the following link to get an idea what is available:
