good and bad
By rko
The good: the adapter works for what I needed. Using it to connect iPad mini to iCue teleprompter.
The bad: the ridiculoously high cost and the very short (2 inch) cable which means you are connecting a large VGA connector to a large tablet through a rediculously tiny and fragile lightning connector. When you are holding the iPad mini in your hand, you worry about breaking the lightning connection because of this. Why didn't the Apple designer think of that?

Works wonderful
By Anomaly
I bought this adapter to use it with (a) my new iPad and (b) iPhone 5, both of which have a lightning connection. The primary purpose was to be able to display a Keynote Presentation from these devices on a large screen. However, in the process I tested other applications also. They included (1) YouTube, (2) Safari, (3) Videos and Photos. They all worked Well. You see them on the screen as it looks on the device. However, as soon you put the application in the full screen mode or landscape orientation, you get a better resolution picture that covers the entire screen. However, there is a difference between the iPad and iPhone projected displays here. The picture from iPhone fits the entire HD screen (16:9 aspect ratio), whereas the one from iPad fits more like a 4:3 aspect ratio picture on a HD screen, presumably driven by the native resolution on their respective screens. Though both the devices have a retina display, the picture from iPhone is crisper and better looking. I am not sure why. Maybe, because iPhone is newer. I do not know how the projected display from iPad mini will look like.
I am writing this review by connecting my iPhone to a 22 inch monitor with this adapter and using a Apple wireless bluetooth keyboard to type. It is hard to tell that I am working from a iPhone. Though I was going to use my iPad for my presentations, I will now use the iPhone becuase it displays better (not to mention looking cool).
The design of this connector is carefully thought through. The short (~3 inch) cord from the phone to the VGA connector is long enough to do things on the phone while holding it in the palm, without having to lift the entire wiring. The lightining connection in the adaptor helps power the phone when presentation is made. I plan to make presentations with my iPhone-5 and iPad using this adaptor, and do not forsee any problem doing it. I would have preferred the lightning to HDMI adaptor, but my video projector does not support HDMI. Overall, an excellent product.

Update: It will not work with Amazon Instant Videos. The app is not compatible with VGA or HDMI or Apple AirPlay.

Very Useful
By Brad B.
Simply put, this product does everything I need it to. Very clear picture and easy to utilize. There is a VGA port and another Lightning port. Don't confuse the second port for an HDMi port. I would recommend.
