    Fantastic!

    • Written by from Vernal

    This is the best thing ever. It worked great with my iPad 2 and iPhone 4s. I would definately recommend it to a friend. Best product ever and I love it.

    VGA Cord

    • Written by from Milwaukee

    I use the VGA cord with the IPad2 that I have at school. When I use it with the new iPad is does not always connect. I am wondering if it is because of the new iPad being HD. If I do get it to connect I can not move it or it will not work again.

    Best thing ever

    • Written by from SAN FRANCISCO

    Love this adapter. I use my iPad and iPhone to present keynotes for class. Teachers are very well impressed. Super portable, goodbye desktops and laptops! If you need to play videos or any audio contact, use the HDMI adapter don't use the VGA.

    Awesome

    • Written by from TANGERANG SELATAN

    I bought this tiny peripheral to connect my Ipad2 to Office projector. It clearly mirrors all of my- apple & non apple-apps. Must have peripheral for personal as well as business users.

    Does exactly what it should

    • Written by from portland

    The reviews are misleading. When somone rates the product low, they are complaining about the limitations of their old devices. If you have a late model iPad or iPhone (I've tested both), this adapter is awesome. It allows you to show your iPhone screen on a monitor or projector or any other display with the VGA input. Videos, web sites, presentations, documents, photos...it all works flawlessly.

    As long as you have an updated device, this cable is super cool.

    Misleading

    • Written by from Westfield

    Product works well but description is misleading.
    The description states that you can watch video on your LCD projector with this connector. I tried to watch a TV show that I download on itunes and found out that this was not possible. I wasn't thinking this applied to video you have taken yourself. I am sorry that I purchased the show through my itunes. Only a kid wants to watch shows on a tiny screen. I’m very disappointed.
    Also, only limited apps can be viewed.

    Useless for iTunes movies

    • Written by from Crockett

    What's the point Apple?! I pay $400 for an iPhone 4s, buy movies LEGALLY on
    ITunes, buy this adaptor from YOUR store. And it doesn't even output my movies to monitors! Please fix this NOW!

    good enough

    • Written by from Mckinney

    This is good for displaying photos and videos on your IPod or IPhone 4's with a VGA compatible TV or projector but on the IPod and IPhone,you can only display photos and videos. On the IPad you can display practicly anything!! If you were going to get this item I'd recommend the composite adapter or the digital AV adapter W/ HDMI. also the plug sometimes disconnects on the slightest move for me.

    Works as advertised!

    • Written by from Pontiac

    I know some r upset, but read carefully before buying. This will only mirror screen if u are using newest devices, but if u do, it's great and seamless. It only works with certain applications if u r running older devices.

    This cable DOES MIRROR THE NEW IPAD

    • Written by from moorhead

    I tried one out today and it worked just the way I hoped it would--everything on my iPad screen was projected. I tried several different apps and all ran without a problem. Keynote looked great, of course, but so did all of the non-Apple software.

    Works but w/o charging opportunity

    • Written by from Bad Dürrheim

    The adapter works fine - I've used it quite often for presentations instead of carying around my Notebook. (five stars for this)

    The huge disadvantge of the adapter is, that it does not allow charging of the iPAD while using the VGA adaptor. That means prior to using the iPAD for a presentation you have to ensure that it is fully loaded. (zero stars for this)

    I don't understand why Apple has not build in a small USB port or a Dock connector to allow charging like they have done it with the HDMI Adapter....

    Great for iPad 2

    • Written by from Grant

    This works great on iPad 2. As soon as you plug in, your iPad screen is on your TV. I could run most of my apps, but not all. We watched I am Legend last night on via my iPad 2 on our big screen TV. Looked better than my DVD player!

    However, I bought this adapter when I had an iPad 1 and it did not work. I knew I would eventually get iPad 2 so kept it and am so glad I did!

    Only wish...iPad remote control! Had to run to iPad by the TV to pause!

    Rubbish VGA cable

    • Written by from Co. Limerick

    As a teacher and lecturer who loves my iPad i am so so disappointed with this rubbish cable which is good for nothing. Can not use it to display anything of use except photos and videos and a few junk apps. If it could mirror my writing and drawing apps my iPad could revolutionise my lessons! Such a shame. Also bad business as a lot of educators, teachers, etc would use otherwise.

    It cannot always be securely attached

    • Written by from Radovljica

    I have bought the VGA adapter with a single purpose in mind: to deliver Keynote presentations as a guest lecturer. I travel light with my iPad, the projector and VGA cable are supplied for me.
    That was the idea. I turns out that the Apple VGA adapter can only be securely attached to a certain kind of VGA cables with the extra long screws. And these are few and far between. So most of the time I end up with the insecurely attached cable that occasionaly detaches during the presentation.
    And this fact is CONSTANTLY DISTURBING MY WORKFLOW! Any proffesional will agree that giving presentations is all about concentrating on the subject and not thinking about the equipment. Attention to details, Apple?

    Apple VGA adapter Review

    • Written by from Pacific Palisades

    I got this cord so that i could present a project in keynote that i did on my mac. I brought this cord to my school to present my project from my iPhone and it worked great! If you are looking for a Vga Adapter for your iPad, iPhone or iTouch, this is the best cord to get for $29.99 and Its worth the money.

    Perfect

    • Written by from Victoria

    Works great. As advertised. I have an iPad2 and was using this to mirror through a projector to a college class. All apps. No problem. Nay sayers really ought to read more about a product before they buy it and claim it doesn't work.

    VGA Works Fine with iPad 2 and up

    • Written by from Leesburg

    We use a number of VGA adapters on our iPads at an elementary school. We occasionally secure them to the iPad with some duct tape, but otherwise everything works fine with our Promethean Boards.
