I'm trying to find a right angle lightning cable or adapter that goes front/back not left/right, if that makes sense, but I can't find one. Is there something about the wiring that prevents this? I've made a little DIY dock and I want the wire to come out the bottom of the phone and then go straight back. Anyone know something I can search for? Or is there a type of cable with a very bendy bottom that won't stress the cable too much? I don't want to have to go down too far before turning to the back. Thanks!
 
Anker makes this one. Lots of sideways cables but no others that feed out the back.

Thanks, that's close, but then would have to go up the back of the phone. Really weird how it's not made! Glad it's not just me though. Maybe if I'm feeling brave I'll try and solder something together.
