In fact, I'm in even less of a hurry than I wasn't in before.

The problem is the cost. The new size and connector mean I'll have to spend around $375 on a new Otter case and enough connector adapters to equip the multiple chargers that I use (bedside, kitchen, office, briefcase, car). $29 for an adapter adds up, irritatingly so. Apple should be selling them at $29 for 3 or something like that.

That suggests maybe I'll get a 5 next year.
Are your chargers hard connected or are they USB at one end? Mine are all USB. Which not just buy micro-usb cords and re-use the power supply? They are cheap.
