So you have your favorite iDevice in hand. It could be your brand new iPad 2, your iPhone 3G that you refuse to upgrade until your contract is over, or your iPod Classic from 2004 that you will never ever give up. Regardless of which iDevice you own, one universal problem is that eventually your iPads, iPods and iPhones needs to have their batteries recharged.
If you’re like me, you’re constantly using your iDevice and don’t want to put it down, even when its battery is dying. The Apple Dock Connector to USB Cable included with your device is just TOO SHORT. You’re forced to charge your device by a computer, put your phone down on a dock in the other room, or worst of all… sit, stand, or crouch by an electrical outlet on the far side of the room while the rest of your friends are enjoying the party.
Enter DealExtreme’s Dock Extender Data/Charging Cable for All [iDevices]. This cable is a must have for any iDevice owner. It adds an extra 80cm (about 2 1/2 feet) to your Dock Connector Cable’s reach. Personally, I own a handful of the extender cables and recommend it to everyone with an iDevice. It is in my opinion, the Best iDevice accessory out there.
Some of my personal applications of the extender cable are:
- At work, the outlets in my office are too far under the desk to charge my iPod and keep it handy. I snap on my dock extender and the iPod reaches comfortably to the top of my desk.
- In my bedroom, the outlets are so far from the bed without an extender, I would have to charge my iPhone at the foot of the bed. With the dock extender, the phone reaches my night stand, well within reach when I need to snooze my morning alarm (some would say that’s a bad thing).
- On roadtrips, if a friend in the back seat needs to charge their iPad they can use my dock extender so that my car charger reaches them.
There are endless ways an iDevice user can utilize a dock extender. I keep one at home, at work, in the car, and in my bag so I’m never without one. Until wireless/ contactless charging hits the consumer market, we are stuck using cables to charge our gadgets. The dock extender allows us a bit more flexibility and freedom, and who doesn’t want more freedom?
The cable is available for $5.44 with free shipping on dealextreme.com.
