alright, I got some dongles to add back in the missing headphone jack. it works ok, but the ones I purchased both add about two inches to the length of the phone. one inch for the solid part of the dongle, and one for the part where the cable doesn't really want to bend. they make L-bend dongles, but I wasn't sure if they'd be compatible with my case and I can just hear archimedes giggling with mischief looking at their product photos.
