FYI, Bed Bath & Beyond has these $8 Lightning Adapters by Kikkerland:

Also available in Black, Blue and Red.
Note: these are good for charging and syncing only. I tried to use these with 3rd party audio and video accessories, but it didn't work, where the official Apple adapter worked previously.
The "body" of these are shorter, allowing the Lightning connector to protrude out more, thus making it more "case" friendly. Probably 1 out of 10 times, I'll receive a "This accessory will not work with iPhone" message, but after a quick unplug and replug, it worked again.
