Why wouldn't this one allow the iPhone 5 to work with existing docks/devices ? So long as the device is sturdy enough (which I can imagine it would be) then there should be no problem.

This adapter is really designed for cables, like those in cars. The unit is too long for the existing docks to be able to provide support to the back of a phone, and hence the entire load is going to go on that tiny length of Lightning adapter. That's not going to work: either the dock will tip or something will give.

  That was my point. I suspect the adapter IS strong enough to support the iPhone. My prediction: the internal of the adapter is made of LiquidMetal.
