I went to Best Buy to return my Black Incase slider. I didn't like how hard it was to take off and actually quite difficult it was to put on. I could see it being an issue when I get my screen protector. So I decided to swap it for a black Speck Candyshell. So I leave the store and get in my car and go to plug in my old iPhone car charger with the 30-pin adapter and it won't go in! The Speck case has a small opening just big enough for the lightening cord, but the adapter has to have an opening in the case like the iPhone 4 charger. UGH 
So I go back into Best Buy after losing my 1st spot parking spot :roll eyes: and start looking at other cases. iFrogz? Ok, maybe. But my Mom has the iFrogz and I have had them before and I was looking for something different. Nothing thrilled me, but I was looking at the Speck Grip online which is why I went with the Candyshell. It's a nice case IMO and I didn't want bulk, but wanted some drop protection. So anything lean, or feather or whatever case manufacturers want to call their least bulky case, was not an option. Nothing had an opening big enough except a light case or the iFrogz. As I'm talking to the Best Buy guys, I decided I would just use the extra USB lightening cord I bought and put it in the USB of my AT&T car charger. Well, wouldn't you know that didn't work either. Not sure if it was a faulty USB on the car charger or what. So now I'm sitting in the car annoyed and trying to decide what to do. It's nearly 6pm, I haven't eaten all day and I felt like an idiot walking back into BB. What choice do I have? Well, I can get a case that will work but may not be what I want, or I can spend more money on a Rocketfish cig lighter to USB adapter. They wanted $29.95 for it. I really did not want to spend more money today, but they gave me 20% off. I think they knew I have had enough. Before BB, I had gone to Apple about a couple of things for my phone which turned out to be no big deal, plus I bought Applecare for 2 iPhones and my Macbook Pro. That was close to $600 in one day! But I think Applecare is worth it and my Macbook was approaching the 1 yr mark come Christmas.
So, the moral of the story is....don't expect to be able to use your old car charger with the 30-pin adapter if your case has a small opening. I think the iPhone 5 car charges are supposed to be out mid Nov.?? Or at least other manufacturers will have them I think.
Sorry this was so long, but I hope this helps anyone who is looking at certain case and want to be able to use the 30-pin adapter in the car.
As I'm sitting here, I just realized my Audi iPhone connector that I need the 30-pin adapter for isn't going to work unless I remove the case. Damn!
