Are diffusers for pop-up flash worthwhile?

I have a SB-700 but so many times you just don't have time to get it out so you just use the popup. If the diffuser was handy it should help to make the flash a little less harsh.

Hi I am new here but have been following the site for a while. I just bought a D3200 to replace my old D80 Just for me and my boyfriend to take photos of each other.I read many of pistnbrokes posts in the past and he only seems to post in areas where he has the camera or knows the situation.There seem to be very few professionals or wedding photographers on here.What I think he is trying to say is that whatever you do with the built in flash you are going to have shadow problems as its fixed over the prism thing.So I tried it out on one of my wig heads and true if you had to remove the shadow in photoshop the one to the right of the head would be difficult as it would all go into the hair line whilst the one with shadows under the chin would be much easier and certainly have much less area.... I dont think a diffuser would help just softer on the extreeme edge.
