Otterboxes.... Finding the right RCA lead... Help

[ZenBasses]

Okay so I recently got a new phone. A Samsung galaxy note 2 (awesome phone).

For some reason whilst out with my dog the screen shattered and we'll it was a 50 quid insurance job to get it sorted.

So I stumped up the cash for an Otterbox case. Fantastic piece of kit. Makes the phone slightly bulky but it a fair trade off for the protection it gives.

Issue... I always plug my phone into my 90s Kenwood amp via 3.5mm rca lead so I can play deezer to my hearts content..... It doesn't fit through the gap at the top of the case. Headphones do so I thought right ill get a rca lead with a jack plug the same size as a headphone jack (they have thinner plastic protection where normal leads are bigger)

Can I find one of these.. No!

I could make one up but I am hopeless at soldering.

The other option is to buy a y splitter but ideally I want just 1 cable.

Any ideas people?

Many thanks

Drill the hole in the case out a bit.
Or.. If its rubber, melt it out a bit with a soldering iron.

Do you really need to keep the phone in the case when playing it through the hifi?

Hey the Otterbox has a reinforced plastic bumper case with a silicon outer shell. So should be able to make it bigger. Liking the soldering iron option.

Yes I can take it out but it's a bind with 10 clips to undo plus it has a built in screen protector that needs cleaning every time you do it.

Typically everything I seem to buy has a design flaw.. Well to me any who.. Lol..

Ah, interesting. I was thinking about their rigid cases (the sort of thing I use for phones and cameras when sailing), but I've just had a look on their website and I see what you mean now.

I use one of [url="http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-and-personal-audio/headphones-and-headsets/acoustic-noise-cancelling-headphones/quietcomfort-accessories/6m-extension-cable-for-bose-headphones/"]these[/url], seems to do the trick.
