I bought 2 of these, one here when I had a survey coupon which reduced the price by $10 and one on ebay for half of retail, and find that they are totally worth it!

First of all, the price is justified by the fact that you get another USB cord with it. At first I thought 'hey, what do I need another USB cord for?'...Well, it does come in handy because I just keep one of them hooked to my computer all the time and I take the other one with me for convenient, away from computer, charging. That way the one is always where I need it when I want to download more music and the other one is always ready for charging away from my computer.

I got a full charge in less than 2 hours with the adapter. I love the fold-away plug and it comes in a nice, tidy box that you can just keep the plug and the usb cord in so that everything is together and easy to find, or to pack in your travel bag.

This, along with a nice zcover skin, is a must-have accessory for your iPod!

Like most Ipod owners have already said, I agree that this device is both convenient and useful (hell, I own one)--but at an outrageous $30 for such a small piece of plastic it's almost not appealing enough to purchase. I only got it in the first place because I knew I wouldn't be toting around my Mac laptop on trips as much as I'd be taking the Ipod. Though it serves its purpose quite well, I also agree it should have been included with the Ipod purchase, or at least go down $15-20 on the price tag. $30 for such a trivial item is hardly necessary! To be honest, there are probably less expensive alternatives out there. Sorry, Apple.

Yes Apple is making money off this by having it be $30 but i have bought the other chargers and used them for testing at my college. I find out that the others are cheaper but you get what you paid for....cheap nockoffs that will fail to function in about 3 months on average.This charger hasnt failed yet and its been a year but the worst alternative charger is the one by Sonnet...do not buy this piece of junk! Just spend the extra $10 it is worth it trust me!

This iPod AC adapter does its job well; it charges my iPod safely like it's supposed to. What I don't understand is why Apple no longer packages an AC adapter with their iPods. Well, actually I do understand why: $$$$$. When I bought my 4th generation iPod two years ago, it included an AC adapter. Thankfully I kept that adapter so I personally don't have to buy another one (this one is for my girlfriend). $30 for a simple adapter is ridiculous.

One nice thing about this item is that it does give you an additional USB wire so that you can leave your iPod's original wire with your computer, and not have to use it with the adapter since the adapter has its own. I wouldn't go with a non-Apple charger just to be safe, but man, Apple is getting a deal out of this product.

It is better now that it is smaller. Apple made a wise decision to include the USB cable instaed of having to buy a seperate one for twenty bucks. It is also very helpful because it charges the iPod way faster that through your computer.

The seller contacted me to remove my feedback about the product that I bought from him and he is giving me a refund just to remove the feedback. Well I was about to say yes but i changed my mind. People should really know what this seller just did to my order. I decided to buy online because i realized that I could save few dollars compared to the electronic shops that i visited for the product. So I thought this seller can give me the product that I was looking for. But then came the day that i received the item it was not the same as it is on the pictures that the seller is showing to us, so please be vigilant on everything when it comes to online shopping and i really don't recommend this seller (joelpuentes). If you don't believe this I can send you copies of our conversation (seller and me) just give me a message.

The USB Power Adapter charges any iPod that is plugged in, just as expected. There are many other more affordable options of products from other brands to do that, but with this one from Apple, you're always sure that it will never damage your loved one. And it comes with an extra USB cable.

I will have to give Apple a backhanded compliment on this product, as there is just not much here for the amount of money they charge. YES, mine has worked perfectly since I bought it. The charge is slower than when you charge with your computer, but many times I just need a charge, and there is no computer handy. I would recommend this charger to anyone with an iPod, it is a nice clean looking charger, and you can be assured it won't DESTROY your $200+ iPod which should be everyone's concern.

Apple is making billions on iPods, Macs, and iTunes, why should we expect them to be reasonable when pricing a charger that should be included with the iPod to begin with. No, you can be assured, Apple is not going to cut anyone ANY slack, that is why the Apple iPod charger is the most expensive charger, Apple is GOING TO MAKE THEIR MONEY!

I'm happy with this product. It charges my iPod quickly and the cord that came with it was a lifesaver since I was given my iPod without the factory accessories. Just the cord was more than half the price of the charger and I'm glad that I went this route. I wouldn't use a knockoff. At the cost of replacement for an iPod it's worth a few bucks to keep from hurting something.

DO NOT BUY THIS CHARGER!! IT IS NOT AS THE DESCRIPTION SAYS; IT DOES NOT COME WITH THE USB CABLE AND IT IS A FAKE, IT DOES NOT COME IN THE APPLE AUTHENTIC PACKAGING!! THIS COMPANY IS TRYING TO RIP-OFF CUSTOMERS BY PRENTENDING IT COMES WITH A USB CABLE AND HOW IT IS AN AUTHENTIC APPLE PRODUCT BY SELLING IT FOR $30, THE PRICE OF A REAL ONE FROM APPLE'S WEBSITE WHEN IT IS ONLY WORTH 2-3 DOLLARS!!! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!
