Wonder if they have to be in one piece. We bought a couple of cheapies and the
pins broke off the plugs in no time.

This comes from Apple:
USB Power Adapter Takeback Program
Recent reports have suggested that some counterfeit and third party adapters
may not be designed properly and could result in safety issues. While not all
third party adapters have an issue, we are announcing a USB Power Adapter
Takeback Program to enable customers to acquire properly designed adapters.
Customer safety is a top priority at Apple. That’s why all of our products —
including USB power adapters for iPhone, iPad, and iPod — undergo rigorous
testing for safety and reliability and are designed to meet government safety
standards around the world.
Starting August 16, 2013, if you have concerns about any of your USB power
adapters, you can drop them off at an Apple Retail Store or at an Apple
Authorized Service Provider. We will ensure that these adapters are disposed
of in an environmentally friendly way.
If you need a replacement adapter to charge your iPhone, iPad, or iPod, we
recommend getting an Apple USB power adapter. For a limited time, you can
purchase one Apple USB power adapter at a special price — $10 USD or
approximate equivalent in local currency. To qualify, you must turn in at
least one USB power adapter and bring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to an Apple
Retail Store or participating Apple Authorized Service Provider for serial
number validation. The special pricing on Apple USB power adapters is limited
to one adapter for each iPhone, iPad, and iPod you own and is valid until
October 18, 2013.
Note: Due to the complexity of testing required to detect an unsafe or
counterfeit adapter, Apple Retail and Apple Authorized Service Providers
cannot advise you on the authenticity or safety of your adapter. We are
offering this special takeback program for any USB power adapter made for use
with iPhone, iPad, and iPod for which you have concerns.
