This was inspired by one I saw at my parents. Why pay $0.25 for one ($6 for a 24 pack), when I can design and print one for much more?

This can print without supports using PLA. I haven't tried using TPU, but that might work even better. 

 

EDIT (05/19/22):

Added two other models that have more flexibility and make it easier to put onto the iPhone lightening cable: Medium Rigid (8mm Helical Pitch) & Least Rigid (9mm Helical Pitch). Also added a link to my OnShape design.
