Speck Candyshell - I really wanted to like it

I had a Candyshell on my 3gs, and I loved it. I got a new one for my 4s, but I may end up returning it. Too bad, I really love the way it looks and feels on my phone, but I can't dock with it on.
My 3gs docked just fine with the case on, I just took out the insert on my sound dock and alarm clock. My husband's 4s docks just fine with a Candyshell on. But my 4s, with a Candyshell, will not dock.
It's really irritating.
I've tried looking for extenders for the dock connection, but I can't seem to find one that comes from any company I recognize.
Help!

I use this extender (a radtech shortie) amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004N85WJE/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
Works great!
Thanks, I'll check it out. I guess I didn't search hard enough, I was only finding third party vendors on Amazon.
Strangely, I can dock with the Candyshell in my home sound dock, but not with the one I have at work, even though the docks are exactly the same. I would just trade them, but not docking with my alarm clock is the killer for me.
Hopefully an extender will fix me right up.
I can recommend cablejive's dockXtender or the dockstubz. I have used both with no problems at all.
