1. Fit:
Let's start with the obvious: If the original product has the same dimensions, so it fits though ans iPad (in my case to the iPad Air 2), but not when the iPad is in the original Apple SmartCase. The latter has only a small recess for Lightning connector, the full-size adapter for too large and then not fully plugged into the socket. Anyone who uses a SmartCase, the iPad must therefore remove awkward only in order to plug the adapter can.
2. Compatibility (as I said possibly counterfeiting):
GOES:
- Charging
- Syncing with iTunes 12 under OS X 10.9 Mavericks
IT DOES NOT WORK:
- Read pictures with "Image Capture" under OS X 10.9 Mavericks
- Camera connect via USB 30-pin Original Apple Camera Connection Kit
- SD card insert via 30-pin Original Apple Camera Connection Kit
- Keyboard MIDI interface via a USB connection via 30-pin Original Apple Camera Connection Kit
Sorry I can charge the iPad via Lightning. Please note that the applications via SD card reader or quasi "USB Host Mode" for USB memory and MIDI no longer function as it does not bring unfortunately, the thing goes back in this form.
