Get the adapter, and try to relax for the intervening year or so until lightning cables are as ubiquitous as dock connectors are/were.

Alternately, buy a Mophie Juicepack. Extra battery life AND an integrated microUSB adapter.

I think the real misstep here is Mophie shipping the juicepacks for the iP5 with microUSB as power input (vs lightning), though.

Not surprisingly, I guess, I don't think is was a misstep; one of the reasons I love the Mophie cases is because they add a normal, standard port to the iPhone.
