IPhone 5s case incompatible with lighting to 30-pin adapter!

Got my black 5s yesterday and also picked up a black 5s case. I really like the case and the way my phone looked in it. I have clock radios all over my home and a few lightning to 30 pin adapters that I bought last year with the 5. When I tried to plug the 5s, with case, into my clock radio the lightning connection would not work. The case was too think at the bottom for the adapter to connect. So.....case was returned.
I must say I'm surprised at apple for missing that. Did they not think that people would maybe plug their phones with a case into a clock radio before going to sleep? Major oversight.

  • HT1665 $29 Lighting to 30 pin adapter

    Why doesn't the $29 Lighting to 30 pin adapter fit the iphone 5 with the Apple case on the phone?

    As you know it has a very wide base than only a naked iPhone will fit. The iPhone can stand upright on this adapter if you want it to, but not with a case on the iPhone. Apple does offer a different 30 pin adapter with a short Lightning wire on it so will fit all cases that the Lightning Cable fits.

  • Lighting to 30 pin adapter

    THe genuine apple lighting to 30 pin adapter on the apple store web page states analog audio compatible. What is meant by analog audio ? Does that mean that i could use the adapter can be used in a docking station to playback my music stored on my iphone 5s In the music app?

    Yes, that's what it means.

  • When is the Lighting to 30 Pin Adapter going to be released.

    Does anyone know when the Lighting to 30 Pin adapter will be available. The iPhone cannot be played on my Docking station without it.

    I've had the four I ordered for several days now.  Two were ordered on 9/14 and two on 9/29.  I don't know when they will appear in the stores.

    Are they genuine Apple cables? If so if they are defective return them.

  • Case for iphone 6 plus with lightning to 30 pin adapter?

    I recently upgraded to a iPhone 6 plus from an iPhone 5.  I have been using the square lightning to 30 pin adapter to adapt the 30 pin plugs on both my bedside clock radio/dock for overnight charging and in the glovebox connector in my 2013 VW Jetta.  I had no issues connecting the plug with an Otterbox Defender on my iPhone 5.  However, there are very few cases on the market right now for the iPhone 6 plus, and the Otterbox was not readily available when I purchased the phone 2 weeks ago, and I'm also not so sure I want to fork over the $60 since Apple isn't recommending the Otterboxes anyways.  I'm not sure I buy into the Lifeproof concept, although I know some people love them.  The Tech21 cases also have to be ordered, and don't have integrated screen protection like the Otterbox Defender.  Admittedly, as careful as I try to be with my phone, I am a dropper and need a protective case.  I ordered a cheaper Caseology case, but it does not allow the lightning to 30 pin adapter plug to attach, so I cannot charge my phone on my bedside dock or in my car with the adapter.  I looked at the Spigen cases online as well as several others, but none of them seem, from visual inspection of the online photos, to have the large opening that the Otterbox for my iPhone 5 did that allowed the adapter to be connected.
    Yes, I could buy extra lightning cables and reinvent my whole charging system, but I have found the cables to be not nearly as durable as the adapters (I've gone through many cables in the last two plus years, but still have the same two adapters.)  I would rather find a case that accommodates the adapter.  Any suggestions for cases that will allow the adapter to be attached with the case still on?

  • IPod on iPhone is case sensitive with bandnames, iTunes is not

    Hi,
    The iPod application on the iPhone (software version 3.1) is case sensitive with bandnames, iTunes (9.0.1) is not.
    iPod on iPhone shows the bands
    "Guns n' Roses"
    and
    "Guns N' Roses"
    as separate bands.
    iTunes manages them as one band.
    Cheers,
    Philipp

    Both the root file-system and the /var file-system on the iPhone are case sensitive.
    I have no idea why. Curious thing for Apple to do.
    Must be a unix hacker there. They love case sensitive filesystems
    This is likely a cause of the problem.
    Best just to rename the offending artist and album fields.
    You can sort & filter them in iTunes and change a whole whack of them at once.

  • I purchased books from iTunes and my iPhone 3G is incompatible with iBooks. What do I do?

    I don't know what to do! I purchased a few books on iTunes and I found out afterwards that you can use only iBooks to read the books. My iPhone is 3G and therefore incompatible with iBooks. What do I do? I want to read my books, but it doesn't seem possible. HELP!

    Your phone is jailbroken. You can not get help here.

  • 30-pin Digital AV adapter with lightning to 30-pin adapter on iP5S?

    Hello, I have an iPhone 5S, and I am trying to use the 30-pin Digital AV adapter (MD098ZM/A) with a lightning-to-30-pin adapter (MD823ZM/A) connected. I want to mirror my iPhones screen onto my monitor but it is not working. I get the "accessory not supported" message on my phone. I can't see why the AV cable wouldn't work for this phone with that adapter since Apple made the adapter... anyone know if this setup just won't work? Maybe the AV cable can't be used with the newer idevices even with the lightning adapters, huh?

    I would check when you connect he device for dust or lint. Also if you are using a case that can sometimes prevent a good connection. If these two suggestions don't work I would return it baring someone else's input.

  • Will iPhone 4s cases restrict new light sensors?

    While looking for cases for the new iPhone 4s, i was wondering if it would be best to purchase a bumper case and not one that covers the back.
    When looking at the keynote, the new sensor was described as "Backside illuminated".  It looked like the sensor was located in the back of the iPhone and would be blocked by all cases that cover the back.  Has anyone else noticed this, or seen any comments on it?

    I don't think the ambient light sensor has anything to do with the camera. The ambient light sensor is in the same place on the iPhone 4S as the iPhone 4.  It is on the front, right above the ear receiver.  My only concern about cases is the camera lens looks bigger on the iPhone 4S.

  • IPhone 4 cases compatible with 4S?

    Please no stupid responses I know they are the same outside shell but I am just making sure they are the exact same shell and no new slight placement of the buttons or something. Also, are there specific cases depending on which carrier you have because I have att and heard a while back the verizon iPhones were slightly different in where the volume buttons were placed. Just getting prepared for Friday! Thanks.

    The iPhone 4S is a "world" phone - it includes a CDMA and GSM chip. There is an additional antenna break with the iPhone 4S the same as with the CDMA iPhone 4, which is located just above the volume buttons and silent swtich. This slightly lowered the volume buttons and the silent swtich with the CDMA iPhone 4, so this is probably the same with the iPhone 4S.

  • Is the iphone 3 case compatible with the ipod touch 4

    i used to have an iphone 3, but it broke, ive got a new phone since, and thinkin of gettin the new ipod touch, and i wondered if the case from my old iphone would fit the new ipod touch??

    I am pretty sure the case dimension are different. You can check using the case dimension for the various iDevices in the following. A quick look shows to me that the iPod will be a little loose in the iPhone case.

  • Lightning to 30-pin Adapter issues - flimsy and won't work with cases

    Anyone else having issues with the Lightning to 30-pin Adapter/Connectors? When applied to my Sony docking stations (numerous btw), the iPhone 5 barely rests securely on the connector AND the Lightning pin itself won't even fit or connect on the phone when the cases is on - this is iPhone 101 folks. I shall be returning all of my conenctors that I have purchased as they do me no good. Would really appreciate a proper fit and well stock of these items ASAP as its causing tremendouse aggrevation with the conenctor switchover.

    I have the same problem. I bought the same type of Speck Candy Shell case that I had for my 3GS iPhone. The $34.00 Lighting to 30-pin adapter will not fit through the case and into the IPhone 5. I just talked to Apple support and after being on hold 5 mins while the tech talked to her supervisor, the Apple solution is "take your case off the phone when you want to use the adapter". I hope thousands of us complain and Apple fixes this. If Apple had not been so secretive and talked to accessory manufacturers they would of know that the Adapter they designed was faulty. Now I how to drive to an Apple store to return the Adapter to get my money back. Only the USB cable will fit through the case into the iPhone 5.
    Bad Adapter design my Apple. Thats what happens when you design a product for millions of people - in a secretive bubble.

  • Easy grip iphone 6 case for arthritic fingers

    Can anyone recommend an iPhone 6 case that is light-weight, slim, and makes it easy for those with arthritic fingers to grip?  Rubberized perhaps, something that doesn't slip off surfaces.  I am not that concerned about dropping it but just need something that is easy to grab onto.  My phone has an "Invisible Shield" so no worries with the front of it getting damaged.
    Without a case this phone is impossible -- slips out of my hands constantly.  An Amazon search comes up with 7 million cases for iPhone 6!  No filter for "arthritis" or "disability" or "old folks!"
    Thanks!

    Speck makes some they call something like EasyGrip. They label them as being good for texting as the phone won't slip out of your hands. You shoudl be able to find them someplace ike Amazon.
