Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I went to the Apple store and bought one of these because I was unsure if this was a genuine Apple one or not and I had to go to Apple anyway for other things. I thought it would be okay because my case is super tiny. I was wrong; it is no good. I have to take my case off to charge and that is a hassle for me, plain and simple. Sure it is only a minor inconvenience but it is one that I think I should not have to deal with. When they make one that works with a case, I will be happy to buy a few of them since I have a ton of the old chargers and I need to keep them to charge my iPad so it is convenient to be able to use one charger for both devices. It is unfortunate that they made it this way. I actually bought this one to use with my car charger since Apple apparently does not make car chargers at all. The charger I have is useless without this adapter but I will return it and get a new car charger that goes with a USB and then just use the USB to lightning cable. This thing is not worth the money and after a couple of times, it becomes really annoying. Especially in the car. I am pretty disappointed in Apple for making it like this. UPDATE: I spoke with someone at Apple customer service and she said they just came out with a newer one that has a longer pin and I can bring mine in to exchange it for that one. I will do that and then post a review on the new one. If it still is no good, they promised I would get a full refund. Will update again soon as I have the new one. UPDATE 2: So I went and exchanged this one to the new product and it is ever-so-slightly-slightly longer but not just barely and not noticeably (and not enough). It fits for me only if I jam it in since I have a very thin, flexible case but, it in effect kind of wears away at my case so continuous use would result in a tear. If you have a case that is harder or slightly bigger than mine, it likely will not work for you. I am planning to take this one back for a refund or get just the regular USB to lightening which I know works.
