Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

Pros: Charges very quickly. I like that the plug is smaller. I always felt the other one was too big even from the first time I purchased an iphone in 2009.

Cons: Length of cable. I always thought they were too short anyway. Price: It's an apple product... they're overpriced in EVERYTHING.

Comment: To those who blame the cable for not fitting with a phone-case.. How about blaming the case instead? The adapter is about as thin as it needs to be. It's the case-manufacturer who needs to work around the cable, not the other way around.

Previously attempted to purchase an aftermarket substitute for the lightning adapter for the 30-pin plug for my trucks radio. Those products weren't recognized by the radio or my iPhone 5, but did provide charging and data transfer into a computer.

After being unsuccessful with the cheaper option I decided to try the Apple branded lightning to 30-pin adapter. Without much expectation, it worked well beyond my expectation! The radio and iPhone instantly recognized the device providing a charge to my iPhone. An audio signal was provided from my iPhone to the radio and the radio controls worked for pausing songs, changing tracks, as well as rewinding and fast-forwarding (just like before the adapter using my previous iPhone 3G and 4.

The adapter itself seems expensive, but it WORKS! I do not rest my iPhone right side up resting on the adapter for fear of the adapter breaking in the lightning port.

The part that plugs into the iPhone is too short. If your iPhone is in a case, the case has to be removed in order for the Lightening part to plug into the phone. Very poor design!

than the cord that came with my iPhone, which sadly only works in certain positions. I've had my adapter for a few months now and it works really well to charge/sync my phone. It also connects to my Bose SoundDock with no issues.

Thin design! Don't have to remove my iphone 5 cover that I bought from Snapfish. Works on both my Philips alarm clock, AND my BOSE speaker system. Very pleased. Just pricey!

Bought a Lightning connector for 7th gen IPod but I had to take off the plastic seat from my Sony Dream Machine radio and Altec Lansing mini-system to get a proper connection for audio. The IPod is now perched precariously on the pin connector but at least it works. My 3rd gen IPod did not have the same issue.

If you have a case don't waste your money. I am not happy at all with this purchase it was a complete waste of money if you have a protective case on your phone.

1. You can look at the box and tell if it will work with the case you have on your phone.

2. It says on the box it does not support video output.

All in all, I think it's great & I can't wait to use my old 6ft 30pin cord.

If you would like to take your case off your phone every time you want to use it, than this will prob work for you... did not work for me though. I wish I would have had a change to read all these other reviews before... I am returning this and getting the adapter with the cord.
