CableJive is excited to announce that we are now taking pre-orders for the Lightlinez XS (made by Kenburg). This short, 12 cm charge and sync cable for iPhone 5, iPad mini and all other Lightning-equipped iDevices is the perfect length for most everyday situations. At home, it’s just enough cable to sit neatly by your computer or laptop. On the go, this cable is small enough to slip in your pocket, purse, or computer bag without getting all tangled up. Never wrap your cord in vain again.
It’s available to pre-order right now, with all Lightlinez XS orders shipping out on April 22nd. But you’ll want to get your order in right now, because for today only (April 9th, 2013), we’re offering FREE USPS first class shipping on our webstore at www.cablejive.com, so if you get your order in today, it will ship free on 4/22. Don’t miss out, order now!
We’ve been getting into the giving mood here at CableJive, so it might be worth a few seconds of your day every now and then to check for any promotions we’re running. They’re a good way to either save some cash or at least get something extra. Like this one we just started today, for instance:
From now until March 20th we’re giving away a free iStubz Bundle with the purchase of any dockBoss cable from our web-store at www.cablejive.com. The iStubz are the perfect travel-sized sync and charge cable for any 30-pin iDevice, and in the bundle comes not one, but both versions of iStubz (7cm and 22cm lengths)!
We realize if you’re getting the dockBoss because you want to connect non-iDevices to iPod speaker docks there’s a chance you don’t actually own an iDevice yourself. That may be true, but if so, I bet you know someone who does! So at the very least, you get a dockBoss, and you get to give someone else a gift on us. Go ahead, take the credit. They’ll never know it was free. We won’t rat you out. Promise!
Our dockBoss air has proven to be quite popular since it was launched two weeks back, and we’re truly thankful for the positive response. In an effort to help our customers get connected to their dockBoss airs more quickly and easily, we’ve put together a couple short videos showing you how to pair it with both Apple and Android devices via Bluetooth. You can find both videos on our dockBoss air product page, or view them below. Happy pairing!
It’s a crazy day for us here at CableJive, as we launch our biggest non-cable product yet, the dockBoss air. Those familiar with our dockBoss line of products know that they’re designed to help expand the compatibility of 30-pin iPod speaker docks to connect with a wider range of devices, and it’s with the dockBoss air that we take that concept to its true (and logical) next level.
dockBoss air is a small adapter that connectes any Bluetooth-enabled audio device to your iPod speaker docks and systems, allowing you to stream HiFi audio wirelessly. It pairs with your devices quickly and easily so connecting to your systems is as simple as being in range. It’s powered by the docking station / system itself, so no need for chargers or batteries. Perfect for Android, Blackberry, Windows Phone, or new lightning-equipped iDevice users looking to get a working speaker dock for their audio players, or classic iPod, iPad, & iPhone users just looking to go wireless. Not to mention streaming audio from your PC, tablet, or laptop. Plus, if you have an AUX input in your car, you can pair it with our +USB Line Out Dock Cable and a USB car charger like our dualCarCharge and instantly add Bluetooth wireless audio to your car!
There’s never been a better time to be the boss of your dock. Our dockBoss air is available right now:

For those unaware, iLounge’s iPhone + iPod Buyer’s Guide is a huge resource for owners of said devices, which they kindly provide for free. Millions of people view it every year, and with the recent launches of all the new Lightnight-equipped iDevices and the addition of over 200,000 new apps to the App Store in the last calendar year, 2013′s edition is one of the biggest and best yet. Given all this, it was an honor to find out that our dockBoss+ iPhone 5 Kit was not only featured in their mammoth collection, but we’re the only non-Apple-made accessory in their “Lightning Add-Ons” section! Thanks to iLounge for the love, and thanks to everyone who bought one and helped make it a success!
iPhone 5. 4th Gen iPad. iPad Mini. New iPod Touch and Nano. It’s only been 2 months and the Lightning connector is already here in full force. In the short amount of time since its release, we’ve heard a lot of people asking if there’s a way to get line level audio from that new connector. We were curious of this ourselves up until last week when our Lightning to 30-pin adapters arrived. Thankfully, all CableJive products worked just fine with both adapters, and we reported it here on the blog.
Then we remembered how many people were searching for this specific solution, so hopefully this post helps. Both our LineOut Pro and +USB Line Out Dock cables, when paired with either Lightning to 30-pin adapter, will allow you to get high quality line level audio right from your new iPhone 5 or other Lightning equipped iDevice. If you’ve been looking for this solution, then look no further.
Now that the official Lightning to 30-pin adapters are out, more than a few of you will be anxiously testing to see if your favorite 30-pin accessories will be compatible with your new iDevices. Well, if your favorite accessories include CableJive products (and why wouldn’t they), then we have some good news for you. We got our adapters in, along with a shiny new iPod Nano, and in our tests we encountered no issues with any of our existing products. So for the legions of you losing sleep wondering if you’ll still be able to use your dockStubz, or any other CableJive product with your new lightning-equipped iDevices, you can now rest easy. Provided you have an adapter, of course.
ATTN New iPhone 5, iPod Touch, and iPod Nano Users: This one’s a biggie…
We were curious to see how our dockBoss+ Female USB cable would behave with the new Lightning connector. So, upon receipt of our iPhone 5 yesterday (yup, we wait just like all of you), we hooked it up to a few speaker docks and made quite the discovery: When used with the new Lightning-To-USB cable, the dockBoss+ Female cable allows you to not only charge your iDevice, but also play analog AND digital audio! (See the video above for a visual demo)
Here’s why that’s so huge: The obvious main benefit here is that this allows you to connect your new iPhone or iPod devices to the huge variety of old 30-pin speaker docks and systems currently on the market. If you have a system you love already, or just want to grab a new one on-the-cheap, you won’t have to drop hundreds of dollars when the new Lightning-compatible docking stations come out. There are tons of killer docking stations that have been released over the years, and now your new iPod and iPhone devices can enjoy them just like the old ones did.
So what does all this mean: Basically, if you have a Lightning-To-USB cable (which comes with all new Lightning-compatible iDevices like the iPhone 5), then our dockBoss+ female cable, in combination with a simple audio patch cable, will give you the capability to charge and play audio through ANY 30-pin iPod docking station or system, regardless if it requires digital or analog audio signals!
So if you were hoping to be able to charge and play audio from your new iPhone 5, iPod Touch, or Nano through your favorite old iPod speaker dock or system, we can help! We’ve just put a package together called the dockBoss+ iPhone 5 Kit, which includes a dockBoss+ female cable and an Audio Patch Cable, so you’ll be ready in any situation. And the best part is, it’s available RIGHT NOW! Let us help you get the most out of your new iDevices and your old iPod audio systems!
You may have noticed a slight change to the product page of our most popular item, the dockStubz. There are now two options for you to choose from: the “Basic” model (left side in the pic above), and the “dockStubz+” model (pictured above on the right side). Allow me to break it down for you:
The dockStubz Basic is a totally new model we’ve just introduced, and we’ve priced it at $6 less than our original adapter was selling for. It’s the perfect 30-pin pass-through adapter that lets you connect your iDevice to any docking station, system, or accessory without having to remove your protective case.
The dockStubz+ model is simply the very same adapter we’ve been selling. In addition to the same 30-pin pass-through abilities found in our “Basic model,” it provides Charge Conversion, so you can get your newer 30-pin iDevices charging on old Firewire-powered systems. The “+ model” also features a micro-USB port on the side for power injection.
Undoubtedly, allowing users to connect to their favorite docks & accessories without having to constantly remove their protective cases is what’s made the dockStubz our most popular product. If this is a solution you or someone you know has been searching for, it just got even more affordable.
The new dockStubz Basic retails at $16.95, and you can find it on our webstore, and at Amazon.com.
