Just picked up the adapter (with the cable) at the Santa Monica Apple store. The guy working there said they just received shipment of them today. Although, they didn't have the adapter without the cable.
I also called the Manhattan Beach store and they said they have it too.

You didn't hit a nerve, you're just a dick, but as I stated, you already know that...ohhh, i hit a nerve!
keep on posting without reading.
It makes things more fun!
You called out two posters that told you the adaptors were available at Apple stores in their area telling them "no they aren't" because you talk out of your ass...you made a fool of yourself

Adapters and adapter cables in stock at Barton Creek, Austin.
Ordered the adapter with phone, bought the cable today which works better in the car.

Walked into the San Diego UTC store while on my lunch break today, and picked up the 0.2m adapter. They had about 30 of them on the shelf, but didn't have the short adapter, nor did they have the USB-to-Lightning cable.

The problem is Apple is charging $29.99 for the lightning to 30 pin & $39.99 for the lightning to 30-with a 0.2 m extension. It's cheaper just to buy a new lightning to USB cable for $19.99. It may be worth the adapters if you just want to carry one cable (really pressed for space) but otherwise just buy a lightning to USB cable. Hopefully 3rd party vendors will offer a cheaper price for the adapters soon if Apple allows.
It's not simply a matter of getting another cable. Those of us who want to use docks or car stereos or other accessories that are generally hooked up via the 30 pin cable NEED the adapter.
Spot on. I bought 2 adapters (without cable) and use one on my car charger and the other on my iHome Studio speakers. Attach the adapter and forget about it. Very pleased with them.
Cherry Hill NJ Apple Store had the Lightning to 30pin adapters in stock (non-cabled ones, not sure about the cabled ones though). I have no idea how many because they were bring them out from the back only to those who asked for them.
These things are really small and seems like it would break easily if you pushed the screen to hard while docked. It really needs a back support or maybe to be at least the same width of the iP5 where it could 'seat' in a little bit. For $30 that's what it should have been. It looks and feels like it cost them a nickle to make.

Exactly. I need the 30 pin to lightning cable or adapter so I can use my existing Onkyo dock.
I was actually impressed at how sturdy the lightning connector is for its size.
It supports my phone entirely on its own and it doesn't feel like it's going to bend or break.

I was told by a retail employee that the adapters will be readily available starting the 28th.
I have one on order online from Apple but have been looking to see if I can get one locally. I haven't had any luck.

Update I was able to pick one up today at the Brea Mall Apple store on my way home from work. Cancelled my online order.
