just look up "2.5mm stereo plug" or the like, as opposed to the more standard 3.5mm

Use the plug you want and close it up with hot glue. Cut it to your desired shape and use adhesive lined heat shrink to cover it all up.

I use these with a bit of heat shrink, not perfect but functional
 

 
cheers

Try a locking adapter -- these are a little longer than a standard plug and have a little screw mount on the stereo plug side.  You can sand down the threads with a dremel tool and achieve the usability you're looking for without sacrificing much build quality or appearance.  However, this may not be enough to fit the original iPhone.
 
I've found the your can stretch an iPhone 4 bumper to fit many sane plugs (e.g. not Switchcrafts)
 
PS: I personally don't like hot glue -- I find it separates really, really easy.  However, you can get the same effect from JB Weld, and that's a bond for LIFE.  Sandable too :D

Looking through the thread, I saw this cables, and just wondering, where do I get those Y split cases? Y tried to find those, but with no luck, I guess Im looking with the wrong name...
 
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, K450 recabled!
Did it for a friend who got sick of having the stock cable die on him despite taking good care. I can attest to that because for a 3 year old pair of cans, they look pretty darned good and feel solidly built.
Used the Canare L-2B2AT cable terminated with a REAN connector.
