Looking for any possible replacement for the somewhat chunky and unfortunately short Y power adapter cable that comes with the SmartiPi case. So far, nothing great has been found.
Here is a Y cable from USBFireWire, but it's all wrong. Not only is it likely that their gigantic connector shells won't fit inside the case, but it seems from the description that it has a full USB data hub built in which is just overkill for this application: http://www.usbfirewire.com/parts/rr-am-yh-mcbx2-xxg.html#RR-AM-YH-MCBX2-18G
The drawing of the USBFireWire cable, which contains references to a PCB which is probably where the hub is: http://www.usbfirewire.com/App_Themes/Skin_4/images/pdfs/RR-AM-YH-MCBX2-XXG_TechnicalDrawing.pdf?1480059672
This one is nice, but at 3.5 feet is way too long: https://www.amazon.com/Dual-Micro-Splitter-Charge-Cable/dp/B004IMEN7C
Ok this one might be perfect, 18 inches long and unbroken USBA to two microUSBs, but what is "Amzer"?https://www.amzer.com/Amzer-USB-to-Dual-Micro-USB-Y-Splitter-Twin-Charging-Handy-Cable-P85745.htm
Here's a fairly beautiful one, but at 1m it's a little too long, plus it's from AliExpress which is no good for purchase orders. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/USB-2-0-to-Micro-USB-2-0-M-M-Cable-Charger-Data-Twin-Head-Dual/32620645263.html
This Enercell one is oddly obscure considering that it has the Enercell name (no other hits on Google aside from Amazon and Ebay) but it looks about perfect if just a hair long at 24": https://www.amazon.com/Enercell-Universal-Micro-Adapter-Splitter/dp/B01JKNVK8S
Another perfect but unpurchasable AliExpress product. 18 inches and long leads on the microUSB side: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/CY-2-in-1-Combo-USB-to-Micro-USB-Dual-Plug-Data-Charger-Splitter-Cable-for/32277420864.html
Nearly perfect but too short: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/UCEC-2x-New-Splitter-Cable-USB-male-To-Micro-USB-Dual-Male-Y-Adapter-Black/32734573102.html
Amazingly, DX has a microUSB version of its alligator test lead power cable, but sadly it seems to be permanently out of stock. This would be a very nice solution if I didn't actually need a Y-cable because the display and pi require separate power: http://www.dx.com/p/micro-usb-male-to-dual-alligator-clips-power-test-cable-black-400890
