I prefer to have my iPhone in a case but it sounds like the phone won't then fit in the adapter. I also agree with others that the constantly changing models means having to renew the adapter each time you change model.

Can anyone who has used the cable connection in the UK explain any reduction in functionality between the adapter and cable?

Thanks
You also need the media cradle for some (but not all) 6NR functionality, e.g. the iPod plug-in and video playback both need the cradle.
