Default Anyone got a spare iphone5 lightning cable yet?

Looking for a spare to leave at work. Amazon & Ebay most of those for sale estimate they will be available next week 22-25th but some adverts seem to suggest available now but are probably not.

Has anyone managed to get a cheap spare so far?

Cheers
Simon

I was looking at sofas yesterday. There were quite a few that had the old style iPhone docking station. They were quite cheap too!

Can you adapt the old docking stations or are they obsolete?

Anyone got one by now? The few versions on amazon for a fiver seem very hit and miss from their reviews.

I just bit the bullet and went for the £4.50 offering on Amazon as at least covered by their marketplace guarantee. Hopefully its reliable.

I couldnt bring myself to pay £14 for a usb cable. Spares I bought for charging my iphone 4 were from the pound shop and worked fine.
