    Just a point.

    • Written by from London

    Something I wasn't quite aware of when I bought this, so I thought I's share. This thing is tiny. Seriously tiny. Make sure you have somewhere safe to keep it or you WILL lose it.

    Perfect.

    • Written by from Meadville

    Compact, sleek, highly functional. Fits most if not all iPhone cases.

    Perfect

    • Written by from Redcar

    Whilst tiny, this is (as you would expect) a well-made adapter which fits snugly and securely to a male micro USB connection. The description states that it is both ultra compact and durable, I think it delivers on both. In terms of use, it does exactly what you would expect it to. Of course, it's a little pricey for what it is, but it's value for money if you don't want to change USB leads over all the time.

    BEST THING EVER !!!

    • Written by from Boston

    I just bought this adapter for my iPhone 5.

    I have the speck candyshell case on, and this adapter fits right in even with the case on.

    Also, it feels like my iphone charges faster with microusb and this adapter than with the apple charger.

    This product is a MUST-HAVE.

    Among so many things that I have bought at Apple store, this is the best product.

    I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for an extra cable because this thing is the same price as the original usb-to-lighting cable, but this thing allows you to use different lengths of microusb cables. Also, microusb cables are cheaper to replace than original Apple cables.

    Fits in a wallet!

    • Written by from Kings Langley

    This tiny contraption is great, it simply fits into a wallet and is always there for those awkward moments. The price on the other hand could be lower!

    Expensive but thought a durable alternative to an expensive cable

    • Written by from Hatfield

    I thought I'd buy this and use a cheap micro USB cable so when ultimately the strain relief fails on the cable I can just pay £1 for a new micro USB cable. instead of £15 for a new cable. I plugged in my £1 cable and the phone said "Charging is not supported with this accessory". I could see the phone in iTunes and sync worked, just no charge. I then tried a second cable i got with my Logitech remote control and that works fine. I tried the cheap cable with the Logitech remote and it worked fine. So whatever reason it seems this adaptor doesn't work with all cables.

    I think the idea is still sound, as the cables tend to fail with the strain relief at each end, so at least the adaptor will be more durable, if only I can find out what it is that makes some cables work and some not.

    Great product

    • Written by from Woodville

    Prefer it to the 'Lightning to 30-pin Adapter'. Very small and useful as can be used with any Micro USB cable. Can also sync with iTunes using this adapter with a Micro USB cable.

    Issue charging

    • Written by from reading

    Only works when pressure is applied to the adapter (which means they are practically unuseable). Either a fault with the iphone, or the adapters (ordered 2 and same issue with both). As iphone works perfectly with standard lightning cables, can only assume to be a fault with the adapters. Not impressed!

    Its so tiny! so very, very small that it begs to be lost.

    • Written by from Surprise

    I bought this because I needed a dual charging solution. It made more sense to me to buy USB micro cables and adapt them for the iDevices so I could charge both from 1 cable.
    This may have been a mistake. The lose-ability of this adapter is 5 stars.
    Im thinking about sticking a magnet or string on it so it doesn't disappear.
    Other than that, the look, fit and finish is top notch. Works great.
    Would be nice if apple included a lanyard hole of some sort so you could tether it to the micro cable.

    Good things come in small packages!

    • Written by from Payson

    I bought this adapter when I upgraded from an Android to the iPhone5, I had LOTS of micro USB cables and car chargers that are now useful with the iPhone5. It's a bit pricey for such a little adapter, but it works flawlessly. Glad I bought one, probably going to buy another so that I can keep one at work.

    Best Accessory I Bought !!!!

    • Written by from Acton

    Found this little thing while Christmas shopping for the wife. It's the greatest idea yet. We came from the competitors to the iPhone5, so we have a bunch of chargers that were useless until now !! Just throw it in my pocket & I don't have to worry about taking a stupid car charger with me all the time. Now I can use it at work, or borrow a friends mini USB charger & I'm good to go !! Thanks Apple !!

    Best iPhone 5 accessory thus far

    • Written by from Irvine

    This little accessory saves me from carrying many cables around. Now I carry a micro or mini USB cable and cannect this and ready to charge anywhere there is a USB connection, so long as the cable is 36 inches or shorter. My 6 foot cable will not work no matter which direction you plug the bug in. Minor drawback is that it is so tiny and can be lost or misplaced easily. I keep mine attached to a cable or connected to the phone.

    Best adapter ever

    • Written by from Yorba Linda

    Turn any micro USB cable into your charge/sync cable. I'm using a 4' cable from my retired android so I can watch movies and charge it while laying in bed.

    Nice but needs a keychain loop

    • Written by from Eugene

    This is beautifully functional in that it is no bigger than it needs to be. And a huge improvement over the old 30-pin connector. But it's also tiny enough to lose with ease. I'd like a small keyhole on it to thread a keychain loop through, or perhaps a case that has a keyring attached.

    Works great

    • Written by from San Luis Obispo

    The 30 pin adapter won't fit with my speak HD case but this will. Any USB Cable will work.
