Any longer USB lightning cables available yet?

I just ordered one of these 10' lightening cables for a stocking stuffer. There are several other ones on Amazon as well.

When the iPhone 5 first came out, I bought a Apple-style extension cable from Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003Y54NPQ/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Also, you could buy the Lightning to Micro USB Adapter at the Apple Store and get a longer Micro USB cable...
I got one but the charging time has become longer. So no do.

Saw this but the 9.8 ft model isn't available yet.

After connecting the cable to it, did you decrease a drop in the charging current or increase in the charging time?
I'm waiting on the Griffin one to be restocked. I have the heavy duty 3 meter one for the old connector and loved it. I've seen some cheap knockoff 10 feet cables but I would rather get an officially licensed one at that length. Already got 2 cheapies and still a little sketchy on using them.
Here's a generic one on eBay:

I have not tested it yet. Its for a stocking stuffer. I will report back next week after we get a chance to test it.
when i got my iphone 5, i picked up an amazon branded 10ft male/female USB cable. one end plugs into the wall adapter, the other into the lightening cable. dont waste money on other cables....this was $5 and works perfectly. wish i did this with my iphone 4 instead of spending $30 on a Griffin 10ft 30pin cable.
