I don't know exactly which car charge I have, but just pick one out that has a removable cable. Then you can use Apple's cable and not worry about it not fitting.

Thanks Leanna. Was hoping maybe someone knew of one with a retractable or coiled cable that would work? Does SE S&C Retractable Cable work with the Bumper?

The ONLY cable I've found that works with the bumper is the newer Apple USB cable with the small dock connector. An old one I have with the side tabs doesn't fit and same with my car charger. I'm considering taking a dremel to the hole and making a little bigger. Lame, I don't want to buy a car charger with just a USB port when I already have a perfectly good one.

i used a dremel on mine, took about 3 minutes to get it where i wanted...
just dont use too high a speed and watch the exposed edges, they get sharp, you almost have to take the plastic down to the rubber part, and a little around the curve for certain adapters.

i had bought the 6' cables from monoprice, the connectors are pretty big, but they work just fine now.

Once apple refunded my money for buying a bumper i figred why not..
If i didnt like the outcome of it i would get something else..

id post an image/pic but im 2 posts shy

edit: made some posts ha...
