is the 8-pin housing the same size & shape as the oem apple one?

yes, it is a little tight, and the iPhone will say lsomething like "this isn't standard and may not work well" but it works fine.

Yes it is . It fits perfectly an Iphone5. I used it with an external battery to guarantee longer authonomy.

Yes the housings are the same, the only difference is the size of the pins/tounges

only if you add the following :https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NXYXX8/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1....there was a pin switch by apple which this item will correct

I do not know if it is comparable. I do know that the end is round like the apple original cord because they are an authorized apple manufacture (said so on packaging) most china cords ends are square causing problems with fit. RND works just like apple. Purchase four items in last year and we are happy with all four. Merry Christmas - Frank

Yes it is, all of the functions work. I have the 8" 30-pin to lightning adapter cable (this one http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD824ZM/A/lightning-to-30-pin-adapter-02-m?fnode=45), not the one-piece adaptor, so I don't know how it would sit in the cradle with the one-piece.

Yes, the one I purchased and received in December 2013 had the classic 30-pin connector. I connect via Bluetooth with my iPhone 5s.

No, it is not. They claim it is, so I ordered one. It DOES NOT FIT. It's not the same size, nor the same shape, and the electrical connectors don't line up.

Yes it is. It is the direct drive for my MacBook Pro 8.1 (UJ-8A8), but is a replacement for the UJ-898 in the Model 7.1.

Yes. It seems too. I just checked it with an amazon basics (black) that I have, since it is a larger 8pin connector than the standard apple connector. It does just fit through the cutout in the bottom. I cant tell if it actually stretches the opening out since the case is flexible tpu. but I tried it a half dozen times and the amazon cable fit flush with the phone itself, through the case.

For me it looks like the original one. Bought one, installed at my old iPad2 and have been using it with no issues at all for couple months.

It fits Ipod's with the old 30-pin style charger (roughly 3/4"). That is the Large one, not the mini 8-pin adapter (roughly 1/4") many Apple products are using now.

Beside the USB connector its pretty much the same. I never saw the new version but it looks like it's shape may be different.

No, not for the standard ones that come from Apple. The opening is big enough that the plug fits with no issues.

No its exactly like an apple cable . Works great,I love it. Side by side its the same width and thickness.

Compatible in what way? The 1/8 inch jack is the same size as the iPhone earphone jack...

No. My understanding is that Apple original is only available through Apple repair. However, this works just as well.

No because the case is silicone. It is the exact shape of the newer iPods. It's not as long
