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?

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.
