iPad Pro adapter that plugs in with otterbox case on

Hello! I have an external hard drive I’m trying to be able to connect to my iPad. I have an adapter that works fine when my otterbox case is OFF, but unfortunately when the case is on, the plug is too short to reach inside the case? Like it doesn’t fit. if I remember correctly, my iPad’s charging port that I’d plug the adapter into is USB-C And the hard drive cord I need to plug into the adapter is USB-2.

If anybody has a solid adapter that isn’t SUPER expensive but fits into the USB-C port of an iPad while the ipad has an otterbox case on, and will last me a while, Please let me know!

I appreciate you reading this, thank you, have a good day :)
