Card reader use with phone in Otter case

Just rec'd my triangle card reader and find I can't use it with my Samsung Note 4 in an Otter Defender case because the shaft of the jack isn't long enough.  I really don't want to have my phone unprotected at shows.  Can you get a jack extension or even a short flexible extension cord to allow use of a card reader on a phone in a protective case?

6" 3.5mm TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve) male to female extension cable. Amazon.com

 

  • Right angle male 3.5mm audio connection works with most protective cases (i.e. Otterbox, Trident, Specks, Case-mate and more)
  • 6" inch length
  • Under $15

Notice the 4 band connection. Headphone cables have 3, TRS (tip-ring-sleeve) which is why they won't work with card readers.
