does this work with lifeproof cases? Have not found any adapters that will fit, must be the exact size of standard apple headset plug. Please help.

Just got this today for newest life proof case for iPhone 6, this small connector is the first of 5 or 6 I have tried that works. Every other I tried was too big to slide past the threads for the waterproof cap. Buy it, it works!

It works fine with the otter box on my 5s, the plug is very skinny like the apple plug

Works , pretty durable also, mine broke in about 3 month of abuse, so get 2 of these

The reason we bought this items was to allow our Square card reader to work through the Ballistic HA0778-M355 case for our iPhone. The male connector end had the smallest profile we could find and it fit through the clearance hole in the case perfectly. However, it does not have the threaded adapter on the male end that would keep the Lifeproof case water tight integrity. I believe the Gen Tech makes some adapters specifically for the Lifeproof case for both iPhone 4 and 5.

I don't know about the lifeproof cases, but I use this cable to adapt a big ole fat replacement trrs plug on a set of Shure earbuds into an iphone 5s with a restrictive case. One nice thing is that it kind of acts as a physical circuit breaker and disconnects the earbuds from the phone if I happen to catch the cable on my tractor, without any damage to either, etc...Hope this helps...

I am not 100% sure...I have a lifeproof case for my iPhone 5 that has an extension for the headphone jack. I cold see that the "L" shape plug could be an issue on some cases. It would be something to research further before you purchase.

I've never used a Lifeproof case. However, the lightningplug is the same as the one on the cord that came with the iphone, so it should work if your original cord works.

Yes, I have a lifeproof case, and was very angry when my headphones would no longer fit. This cable fixed my problem.

If you have a very thick case, I wouldn't know. However my hard silicon case fits perfectly with the jack on this headset.

It depends on the case I think. They screw in so that they work with the lifeproof cases (to be waterproof.) They should work with your phone without a case. But, if your case has something over the headphone jack, it may interrupt the connection. Sorry, I know this isn't an exact answer, but I don't know what kind of case you are using.

If you have a lifeproof case, yes. I will probably work with others, but I didn't need this adapter till I bought the life proof case.

I'm not sure if I understand your question, but these adapters do work for the iPhone 5 lifeproof case; I have it on my phone right now. I hope this helps.

You generally need the adaptor for a lifeproof case, it screws in to the case to maintain the seal. They work fine with otterboxes and thick cases, because the diameter of the plug is pretty small

Yes...my wife uses her apple headphones with it. If you have the headphones with the 90 degree type plugs it might not fit but I'm not sure. Straight plugs will work for sure...

I have a LifeProof case on my iPhone 4 and it doesn't work with that case. My guess is that without the little plastic attachment on the alarm clock, it would work with most cases.

I don't have a lifeproof case, but it has not worked for my iPhone 4. I bought 2 at same time. Neither works. I'm not sure why

It does not fit a the LifeProof 6 case. I know, I bought one and found it was just a shy too big. I ended up filing down the plastic on the connector to get it to fit. Now it does fit, but the connector is very weak and will probably fall apart. Not the design of this connector's fault. It's LifeProof fault for designing they case with a port connector that is too small to fit all the connectors on the market.

I'm not sure, but it works with my life proof case. With that I would assume it would fit with nearly any case. However I would suggest the apple one because it is actually cheaper. They make one that short.

Yes. I have used Apple earphones and two other types. Anything with the standard earphone plug will work.

Does anyone know if this works with a 3.50 plug that will fit a 3G or 4S Iphone? Can't tell if this is ON THE EAR or OVER THE EAR. I wear two hearing aids and will need "over the ear".

Yes it will. It works properly with my Apple earbud headset with mic to make and receive calls. But if you are using it to adapt your headset to an iPhone 5 external battery case, the male plug will insert so far into the bottom of the battery case that you will be grasping the strain relief and delicate cord when trying to remove the adapter from the case jack. There are more durable adapters out there like the one that Mophie includes with its battery cases. They are designed to withstand the removal, although they are much stiffer as a result. http://www.amazon.com/mophie-Headset-Adapter-Helium-iPhone/dp/B00G3KG8IO/ref=sr_1_63?ie=UTF8&qid=1389019381&sr=8-63&keywords=iphone+5+headset+adapter
