Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

Just received this device and applied for return to Apple. Device is essentially useless. Fits so loosely in the iPhone that it does not make contact to sync or charge the phone and almost falls out if you hold the phone vertically. Not characteristic of Apple quality at all... surprised and disappointed.

I just bough this to keep my 30 pin iPod cable in my car. Not trying to give Otterbox free advertising, but I have the Defender series box and I can use this adapter just fine. In short, get this Otterbox, and keep your iPhone looking like new and use your 30-pin Adapter!

I purchased this to mainly intergrate with my car stereo. It does what it's supposed to, and stays firmly in place. Its a high quality product. I have an Otter Box case, and like many the adapter did not fit correctly. It wasn't really a big deal. I used my Dremel and enlarged the opening just a bit. Now the adapter fits perfectly. I would have given it five stars, but I think it's a bit over priced.

This little adapter (tinier than I expected) works well with the Ringke Slim case (which is very thin and doesn't cover the iPhone loudspeakers).
I'm using it with my iHome iA-100 audio dock, which I bought previously for my 4S.
The adapter works very well for all functions: charging, audio, and the clock/radio controls with the iSet App.
Obviously with the adapter the iPhone isn't anymore in contact with the dock, and is strangely perched; also the white color of the adapter feels odd between the black of the iPhone and the black of the dock.

When using this adapter the iPod is unsupported unlike the demo adapters in the store. This adapter need a support of some type to steady the iPod . BTW...I've seen adapters in the stores broken off at the lightening connector. I agree with other writers that the better option is to use the adapter with the cable although this negates the opportunity to use the neat iPod dock of your device

Functionally OK, no longer allowing me to play music in dock with screen off. Biggest issue: I must now take my case off to plug it into the music dock. Included charging cable fits fine in the case - if a future product iteration allowed 1/4 to 1/2 inch of cable-width extension it'd work.

I have an iPhone 4 and now an iPad mini, bought this to connect the mini to the Apple Composite Cable that is connected to my home stereo. Disappointed to find out that this connector does not have Video capability meaning I now cannot watch content on my iPad mini to my stereo or TV.

Come on Apple, it should "just work". I would like to hear the reasoning behind leaving video out from its features...

Apart from this, all other functions work fine

The cord did not allowed me to listen to my music on the car, this adapter does, had to cut my Candyshell Specks case. Hopefully the case manufactures correct their designs.

This adapter is useless if you have your iphone in a case. Get the lightning to 30 pin adapter cord instead. Worth the extra money to not have to take your phone out of the case every time you need to connect it to a 30 pin accessory or cord.

As above, doesn't work with the JBL docking station. Just no sound whatsoever. If you use the headphone out and plug it into the headphone jack of the docking station, then it works, but forget about using he Lightning to 30-pin adapter. It just doesn't work, My wife's older iPod Nano with the 30-pin output works fine. Mine? Nada.

On top of this, even when I use the adapter to charge my iPod off the computer, it takes a few minutes for the laptop to even recognize the iPod is connected. Overall I am disappointed in this product and I agree that it costs far too much for what it is.
