Does work with iPad 1 and iPhone 4 to some degree. . .,
Though released with the iPad 2, this adapter will, in fact, pipe both video and audio out of an iPad 1 and an iPhone 4 through HDMI without any problem as long as the app you wish to view supports it.
My main interest in this adapter was to have the ability to mind Netflix streaming on family TVs who do not have Internet service. The Netflix app works perfectly over AT&T 3G connections on both the iPad and iPhone 4, but I wished to have a way to use the service at older family member’s houses who do not have Internet of any sort. I had read most of the reviews here on Amazon and done some other digging around, but no one was very clear as to what this adapter could and could not do on older hardware. Here’s my assessment to date:
iPad 2 – You get right “mirroring” performance. This essentially means that whatever you see and hear from the iPad 2 on screen gets place through the HDMI connection, including the home screen icons, sound effects, etc. This is what the adapter was made for.
iPad 1 – When plugged in, you do not get to see anything on the TV screen, but the TV will recognize that it is getting an HDMI signal. It will simply be blank. The iPad 1 screen will perform normally until you open an app that is well-matched with video/audio out and that’s when the magic starts. In the Netflix app, which is the only one I’ve tested so far, you still get the menus and whatnot on the iPad 1 screen as always, but as soon as you start playing streaming video, the iPad 1 screen displays a red screen with the Netflix logo. All the video and sound gets piped through the HDMI output to the TV.
I did not have sophisticated testing equipment or ability to show the signal’s resolution on the TV, but the resolution appears to be, at least for iPad 1, 720p. There was no distortion or stretching of the picture and it filled the TV screen by the book with very small horizontal bars to keep the aspect ratio right. With three bars of signal, the show streamed just fine and quality was perfectly viewable with no grossly evident compression artifacts. Better than VHS and loosely in the ballpark of DVD (though upconverted to 720p, apparently).
iPhone 4 – I tried the same thing on my iPhone 4. It all works essentially the same as on an iPad 1, which makes exact implication given the similarities in hardware. I did see much worse compression artifact errors, though, when output to TV. My guess is that the video signal being streamed to the iPhone 4 is scaled down to fit the small screen, where such artifacting would be less noticeable, and that this small-screen version does not scale well to a 42″ HDTV. Though both sound and video were output just fine, the quality of the video left much to be desired. In fact, I would describe the video as essentially unwatchable.
It’s my understanding that other apps work essentially the same. I don’t have a list of apps, other than Netflix, which will work in this way. I wouldn’t be surprised if the YouTube app, iPod video, etc. worked and even possibly a game or two. My main need was Netflix, and it works just fine for that function.
The adapter itself has two ports, one HDMI female port and one standard female iPod connector port. This permits you to power/charge the iPad or iPhone while simultaneously outputting video and audio. Not built-in, of course, is an HDMI cable. I would suggest you get at least a 3′ cable, possibly a 6′ cable, with which to connect to the TV or projector since you’ll have to account for needing to physically manipulate the touch screen to start up video output. Build quality is typical Apple, which is to say brilliant.
Very pleased with my chance to buy this. Didn’t want others to have to worry if their intended use was similar.

|Works fantastic, Except for HBOGo,
I bought this item right before HBOGo was released so I could mind all of the HBO series’ on my TV. I was disappointed that when HBOGo was released and I hooked up my iPad 2 all that popped up on my TV was a HBOGO logo. Besides that it works fantastic, if you buy movies or shows off of itunes they look fantastic on the TV. I would buy this unless you want it specifically for HBOGo

|Works Perfectly,
This small accessory works like a charm. It does support video out for both the iPad 1 and 2, but only from the dedicated video app, or a few other video services like Netflix. The mirroring feature (which will show everything that is on the iPad–video, apps, home screen, etc.–exactly mirrored on the TV/monitor) is only possible with the iPad 2. All it requires is an HDMI cable, plug one end into the TV, the other into the adapter, and it’s excellent to go. There is even an additional 30 pin port so that the iPad can be plugged into a power source at the same time, if there’s ever a need to exceed it’s 10 hour battery span. All in all, an brilliant way to make the iPad’s content accessible for teachers, business presentations, home entertainment, or other group activities. A fantastic and useful accessory for the iPad.

|I’m a picky person.,
I got this product and it’s …, where do I start?
I found the picture for this product to be deceiving.
Mine when looking at it from a top side view, the leather wasn’t straight, it was a small arched.
I found The four things holding the corners of the iPad to be so poorly designed. The one on the top right blocks the iPad screen lock button, the one on the bottom right blocks one or two of the speakers and the one on the top left blocks the microphone.
Thanks for taking the time to read my review.

|Fantastic case for the fee,
First off, this is the first case I have used for my iPad, so I’m not saying there isn’t a better case out there. For the fee though, you can’t beat it.
I’ll point out one of the foremost things that worried me about the case, and that is the elastic bands that hold the unit in place. To anyone wondering if they do their job well, they really do. In fact, they hold the unit in so snuggly that I in fact have distress taking it out sometimes. They do their job, and they do it very well.
A further thing I was worried about was wether or not the front flap would have distress staying closed after long periods of being folded back, much like the official Apple case. I have yet to experience it, in fact, I doubt it will ever happen seeing that the flap is weighted nicely.
Like the other reviewers have stated, this thing wont protect it from a pretty decent fall. It’s more so meant to protect from scratches and dirt. In that aspect it will do you well, I have no problem putting this in my bag.
I jab a few cons with the case though:
1. The material inside the flap has a horrible habit if collecting tiniest crumb or spec of dirt you happen to set it in and transfers it over to the screen. It’s not THAT huge of a deal to me, but people coming from an official Apple case to this may find it aggravating.
2. No type of stand feature. I knew there wasn’t one in the first place, but it still would’ve been nice.
I highly recommend this case, it’s easily one of the better alternatives to the official Apple case.

|Elegant and inexpensive.,
This just arrived.
I couldn’t be more pleased.
I didn’t like the AppleiPad holder: it seems to me flimsy and hideous. And it’s not gonna protect anything from anything.
So I ordered this. The fee is incredible–1/3 to 1/6 of what other solutions cost.
It’s quite nice. It makes your iPad look like an agenda or schedule. It’s thicker than the thin Apple cover. And the logo is very subdued–nearly hidden.
Now if you drop it, this thing’s not gonna protect it a lot.
But in my messenger bag it will add a layer of protection.
Mine has a abstractedly chemical-y smell right out of the box. But I assume that will dissipate quickly.
This is quite a nice product. It’s not gonna protect your iPad from rain and hurricane. But it’s better than the $30 Apple solution–to my mind.
