Anyone have some cables they're 100% sure are compatible? Even the old pre-iPhone Apple USB cables don't work.

I was hoping some of the dollar eBay cables would work. Has anybody tested some from a particular store, or seller that they could recommend?

Bought this one for my car (in black) as I needed to replace my USB car charger cable. Trying to use one of the OEM white cables in there was too distracting. It arrived fairly quickly and seems to work fine, perfectly compatible with the bumper.

$1.50, free shipping when I bought it--pretty good deal.

Besides the one that came with the phone 😉 I also have some $1 cables from eBay last year and they work just fine.

Anyone found a 6 foot or 2 meter aftermarket cable that fits the bumper? Has anyone tried this one?

Just wanted to add to this, the Belkin TuneBase FM does NOT work with the bumper on iP4, the metal connector is too short!

Anyone know where I can purchase a cable with the male end long enough for bumper case use?

Are you sure it works WITH the bumper on?

retractable bumper compatible cable

anyone find a bumper-compatible iphone 4 retractable cable? I bought the MacAlly one, which is OK, but poorly made (needed an RMA), and wayyy too short

this solution is not cost practical but in my case it is the only currently available solution as I have a fixed cable coming out a an integration kit in my car (can't change cables), so this worked...

I have the Belkin TuneBase FM hands-free. When I got my iPhone 4, I ordered the bumper case. As everyone found it, it does not fit into the Tunebase because the plastic around the dock connector on the iPhone doesn't let the belkin reach far enough. I took a dremel to the belkin base and chamfered (shaved) the corners of the dock area so it would fit up in the opening on the bumper. After doing that, the iPhone now fits perfect in the unit and has a very secure grip because of the rubber on the tunebase and the rubber on the bumper case. The modification is very minimal and I personally don't care that it looks a little bit less than perfect because of the added function and features. I can take a picture of it if people are interested.
