Magstripe reader won't reach to plug into the headphone jack

Currently have a pelican phone case on my Android Samsung S6 phone. Due to the case shape, the mag stripe reader will not plug into the headphone jack.

Yes A lot of cases do not allow the Square reader to connect to the phone. There is no way to account fo all the different case thickness and size of the hole.

There are adapters that extend the headphone jack that some have used, Or you need to find a case that does allow the square reader to connect. I have 5 iPhones that are used for sales at a farmer's market and 4 can work with the case on.

I had the same problem with Otterbox Defender case. What headphone jack extenders are available? I have not looked to see but if you know of some please reply so I will know you have tested them and I am not buying something unusable
