Reviews for Lightning to 30-pin Adapter

The only problem is the price, a little bit too high...but definitely super practical .

I bought one because I have a 5 and my wife has a 4s. That way if we wanted to listen to music on my phone I could just plug that in and use the same cable. It recognizes, charges, and lets me control it but no sound at all. It's not the phone if I put the regular cable in it works fine, but this adapter means no sound which makes it useless

Also, it's really tiny. I think the picture is bigger on my iPad screen than it is.

If you have a car and or sound accessory that used the 30 pin connection get ready for a reduced sound quality experience. From Apple I expected more and frankly for $30 it should work perfectly. Wasn't the idea to move to a better/ digital experience with thunderbolt connection? Also, my home JBL iphone accessory has a slight buzzing sound during playback.

I am puzzled by the reviews that state that the adapter doesn't work with iPhone 5 cases. I have an Otterbox Defender and there is no bigger heavier case out there and the adapter fits fine. Obviously, there must be some cases with this problem. If you like Speck cases and are having a problem, get the Speck Flip. This adapter does what it's supposed to do but it's radically overpriced. I recommend getting only the minimal number you need as eventually there should be cheaper alternatives made by other manufacturers.

iPhone 5 is a great product. But and A BIG BUT. If they weren't going to make the adapters support everything from audio, to Video. Its a worthless purchase. I was perfectly happy with my iPhone 3GS. When I used it on all my 30 pin docking devices I could watch videos.
I feel as tho upgrading to iPhone 5 has taken me backwards. I'm constantly trying to move forward with my technology choices. Apple needs to step up and make the lighting to 30pin adapters video capable. I will not purchase nor urge my iPhone 4S friends to upgrade to iPhone 5 till they do this.
This is the first time I have truly been unhappy with an Apple Product. My opinion is they put it out too soon, not having complete adapter support.

This adapter works with my speaker, alleluia, and plays music and charges my phone too! Depending on the technology of your sound system, it might only charge and not play music, depending especially on how the signal is on the speaker systems. Other than that heads up note. I have no complaints. :-)

The adapter works, but only if you don't have a case on. The lightning adapter part is too short to fit into most cases on iPhone, therefore making it useless unless you want to remove your case each time you want to charge/sync. Poorly designed, which is unusual for Apple.

I bought lighting adapter today to use my old car changer adapter of iPhone 4s unfortunately it would not charge your iPhone if you your phone has any bumper cover. Yes, it will only work only if you iPhone doesn't have a cover. I have to return mine tomorrow because it is useless.

Apple show warn customer that this would only work iPhone with no bumper cover.

Works great!!! Love how it is only an 1" by 3/4" small... Super tiny.. and to the others who complain about the case.. almost every single product you attatch any iphone or ipod to suggests you remove your case before plugging it into there accessory.. I know what a painstakingly difficult process this is.. to take 3 seconds away from your precious life is soo annoying. HaHa
