Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

The length of the lightning adapter is too short if you have any kind of cover with your iPhone 5. I have an Apple-like bumper cover (similar to iPhone 4/4S) and the metal contact on the adapter is WAY TOO short. I suggest getting the Lighting to 30-pin Adapter Cable instead. The cable has a thin longer Lightning connection that will work with most iPhone 5 covers.

Contrary to the reviews I've seen, I have had no problem using this while having a cover on my iPhone 5. I use this adapter specifically so I may keep using my car XM Skydock (love it) with my iPhone 5 that I alternately use both an Elago Slim-Fit Case and Incase Span Case on. I have no problem whatsoever with the adapter fitting snugly.

My only criticism is that I wish the adapter was a bit shorter.

Work's fine with B&W zeppelin,shame not in other colour options ,black or chrome would be good,as look's a bit cheap against phone and B&W speaker.

The only negative I could find with this is no video support. I cannot have access to the apps of my AppRadio 2 because it doesn't support video!!

Got this on Wednesday and connected to my 30 pin end ,charges my phone with the case on I do't know why these people complain, if you buy a cheap case you will have to take it out of the case to charge I have an Otterbox Defender case, got to 2 adapters one for the car.
Great product I recommended to a few friends!!!!

It works when Iphone has no case. Why not add to the design that the pin can be pushed out more? And why does it not come with the already expensive phone. OR be at a basic token price. It's you that changed the plug design Apple so don't penalise the first users of the very expensive product we've all bought into. It can't possibly cost this much to produce.

i recently purchased this adaptor trying to make my old ihome work with my new iphone 5 and have had nothing but problems. the adaptor will charge my phone but i can not play music through the ihome it will only play through the phones speakers. Apple u need to make a new dock that has the new lightning adaptor so i can finally have an alarm clock that works with the newest line of products you have released. seeing how you are making all the new products with this port you should have released a whole new line of products to keep your accessories up to date and not continue selling outdated hardware that the newest consumers of Apple can not use

I bought this adapter at Target thinking I could attach it to my 30-pin to HDTV cord, but noooo... what a stupid idea to think it would work with other Apple connectors! Silly me. Only after I got the rather shocking "This device not recognized" error message did I angrily log onto the Apple's website to complain, but only then learned it DOESN'T CONNECT WITH VIDEO. WHY the heck not??? Shouldn't Apple adapters be compatible with Apple connectors?? Lack of video support should at least be put on the packaging somewhere. Arrrggh!!

as others have written about; this adapter fails to be compatible with most iphone 5 cases manufactured by well respecters companies. I had bought two of these adapters and had to return them as I didn't feel like cutting the opening of my case (iSKin in my case). They should have made the lighting tip longer to compensate for case thickness.
Do yourself a favor and get the adapter with the cord. It actually looks less bulky and no case modifications needed.
Lowering the price of these adapters wouldn't hurt either!

Works fine with my Bose sound dock, but I cannot believe this piece of plastic and glue cost me $35. Wait for alternatives if you can.
