When I saw the price for this item, I was suspicious. I think that, usually, you get what you pay for. But this cheap little thing charges your Shuffle and allows you to do the usual things you do on iTunes. It looks chintzy but it does what you need and expect it to.

You get what you pay for. The unit was shipped in a non-padded envelope and arrived slightly damaged. The docking pin was bent. After adjusting it to where I thought it was aligned properly (straight) and docking the shuffle, the pin snapped off and became lodged in the shuffle. Only after many attempts with a paper clip was I able to dislodge the broken pin from the unit.

Never again.

Lower quality construction than Apple's dock, but at 1/15th the price that's to be expected. The problem is that this doesn't charge my iPod. I bought this and a smaller 1 piece molded ipod-usb plug and that works fine, but I leave my completely drained iPod connected to the dock overnight and in the morning when I take the iPod off the cradle it doesn't even have enough of a charge to light up when I turn it on.

I'd avoid this unit unless you enjoy collecting useless USB devices.

I've used my ipod 5-6 times since I've had it. Got it last christmas (10 months ago). Anyway, after not using my ipod for about 4 months, i noticed a mouse chewed through the cord on the charger (the one that came with the ipod), so I ordered this one.

I plugged it into the computer and first noticed the light in the charger, which looked pretty cool. I connected my ipod, and the light on my ipod lit up orange for a bit, but then went out. That was the last time I saw the light on my ipod ever turn on. Since then I've tried everything I can possibly think of to get it working again, but nothing is working. I think it's toasted :/

Unit I received is NOT what was pictured on Amazon. It's a real CHEAP POS that does not work at all. Rip off seller.

I plugged it in and nothing happened - no lighting up like some of the reviewers here reported. In fact, my computer told me there was an unrecognized device in a USB port. Guess what that unrecognized device was? I couldn't figure out how to get the computer to recognize it, but I figured if I put my Shuffle in, it would at least charge it. Nope! The orange light on my Shuffle came on for a few seconds and then went out. Nothing I can do makes the light come on again. So yep, you get what you pay for, unfortunately, and this item is a piece of crap. Avoid!!!

I just hope it didn't fry my Shuffle like others are saying. Plugged it in, docked my Shuffle, Nothing......

Piece of trash!!!!!!! This killed my IPOD Shuffle! Doesnt even transfer songs!!! DO NOT BUY!!!!! Now, when I plug my shuffle into a normal Apple dock, the light just stays green.. and thats it. My Ipod shuffle is not recognised... I was fooled, I thought this would work just fine....Now I am currently searching for another mp3 player, with a simpler charging mechanism.... Words cannot express my anger right now!!!

I'm looking for this a looooong time ago my husband have a apple shuffle and he lose the original charger so he can't used any more but know he star walking and he wants music we look @ different stores and nobody haven't any more so ty Amazon...

Been using this little charger for a few weeks now and have had no issues. What a bargain! That was a bargain for me.
