I'm afraid you have to do it from your controller in the tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath:. There is no other way to do it. :(

You actually need to do it from your UITableViewDelegate.

What you can do though, is use UITableView's cellForRowAtIndexPath method to get the actual cell and call isKindOfClass: on it, and if it matches the type of your custom cell, you're golden.

Implement the tableView:heightForRowAtIndexPath: method and return the desired height for the specified row:

- (CGFloat)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView heightForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath {
   UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
   if([cell isKindOfClass:[YourCustomCell class]]) return someHeight;
   return 44.0;
}
