Ari,
Thanks for clarifying the connectors used by the YiKaiEn iReader. Now I understand why a lightning extension cable with male and female lightning connections on either end is needed. I've not found very many lightning extension cables on Amazon and I'm not sure I've seen any listed as Apple certified. I did just find the Lightning Extension Cable (2 foot, Black) for iPhone 7 / 7 Plus / 6 / 6S / SE, iPad Pro, and all Lightning Accessories; Full Functionality for Video, Data, Audio & More Through Male to Female 8-pin Cable. dockXtender for Lightning by CableJive. But at $25.95 for a 2-foot cable, it isn't cheap. I perused the Amazon reviews and like most such reviews, they were across the board. Here is the link to the item at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Accessories-Functionality-dockXtender-CableJive/dp/B00GP08858/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless <https://www.amazon.com/Lightning-Accessories-Functionality-dockXtender-CableJive/dp/B00GP08858/ref=sr_1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1475095898&sr=1-1&keywords=lightning+extension+cable+Apple+certified> &ie=UTF8&qid=1475095898&sr=1-1&keywords=lightning+extension+cable+Apple+certified That's a long link that will no doubt break in most email clients so here's a TinyURL to the same thing: http://tinyurl.com/hxbs5dy Alan Lemly From: viphone@googlegroups.com [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of englishride...@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2016 12:37 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Is their such a thing as a Lightning Extension Cable? Alan, if I'm correctly understanding The reader that Russ has, it just has a male lightning connector on it directly, with no cable in between the reader and the male lightning connector. If Russl didn't have a case on his phone, this product would work completely fine. Since he does, there isn't enough room for the connector to go into the phone. What he wants is a cable with a female lightning port on one end, and a male lightning port on the other, so he can connect the mail lightning port to his phone and the female lightning Port to the reader.

I'm still confused from your description exactly what you want in terms of a cable. How are you connecting the YiKaiEn iReader to your iPod? I'm assuming you're using some cable with a standard USB connector on one end which you're plugging into the YiKaiEn iReader and plugging the other end into your iPod. You don't say whether your iPod uses the old 30-pin connector or a lightning connector. If the latter, lightning cables from Apple seem to have the smallest connectors for use with an iDevice housed in an Otterbox case. If an Apple cable doesn't work to connect your iPad in its case to the YiKaiEn iReader, I'm not sure any third party cable will either even if it is Apple certified. Please describe what the cable you want needs at each end in order to make the connection you want.

The YiKaiEn iReader comes with a lightning connector on one end and a usb connector on the other end. I can connect the YiKaiEn iReader with no problem to my ipod touch. If your ios device has a case, you can’t connect the YiKaiEn iReader to it. The reader doesn’t come with a lightning cable.

Russ, I'm a bit confused about what exactly you need in order to use the YiKaiEn iReader with your iPad. I'm assuming the Otterbox case prevents your using the cable that came with the YiKaiEn iReader because the lightning plug on it is configured so it doesn't fit. I'm not sure an extension cable is the best way to go because I didn't see many of those listed as being Apple certified on Amazon. What type of plug connects to the actual YiKaiEn iReader on the cable that came with it? If it is a common type of connector, you might have better luck finding an Apple certified lightning cable that has a small lightning plug which will work with the Otterbox case and the appropriate connector on the end which connects to the YiKaiEn iReader. Just another alternative you might wish to consider. Good luck.
