Adafruit2028 Assembled Pi T-Cobbler Plus

Previous reviews had noted that when the item showed up the pins had poked through the ribbon during $hipment. Clearly they have taken notice and fixed this. The pins are now embedded in a piece of styrofoam so it is impossible for them to puncture the cable. I ordered this to replace a faulty ribbon from another company. This ribbon and cobbler work perfectly.

Genuine Product.

I've used a couple different vendors for this type of thing, they all work fine but this one has the best screen printing off them all. This makes it a lot less frustrating for new users.

Good quality

Not mad, not gonna send it back, and not asking for anything for it. I'm not really gonna dock stars from Adafruit for it since I already had a cable to use but, Adafruit, you may want to consider a modification to your packaging of this and possibly other electronic devices with pins. Wrapping the ribbon cable around the cobbler caused the very spiky pins of the cobbler to be stabbed through the middle of the ribbon cable, rending some of the pins in a state to potentially fail. See the enclosed pictures for examples. Bear in mind that while this only shows two that went all the way through, there were about 3-4 on each side that had caused damage to the sheathing.Suggestion, add that foam padding to it. It might cost a few pennies more but it would protect the pins, still, and protect the ribbon cable from the pins. Take it easy!
