Pin in Computers and Accessories

No offense, won't send it back and won't charge anything for it. I'm not really going to be splicing stars from Adafruit for this as I already had a cable to use, but Adafruit you should consider modifying your packaging of this and possibly other electronic devices with pins. Wrapping the ribbon cable around the cobbler resulted in the very sharp pins of the cobbler piercing the center of the ribbon cable, leaving some of the pins in a potentially fracturing condition. See the attached images for examples. Keep in mind that while this only shows 2 that went completely through, there were about 3-4 on each side that caused skin damage. Suggestion: add foam padding. This may cost a few cents more but still protects the pins and protects the ribbon cable from pins. Don't take it to heart!
