$30 for this "dock"??? PLEASE. That's almost half the price of the shuffle, which is packaged with the same product!!! 2 stars for a good product with a ridiculously bloated pricetag.

The replacement dock provided by Apple for the Shuffle is as overpriced as the Shuffle is. This product does work, but there are alternatives ranging from 40 cents to $5 that will do the same job.

This fills a product need created by Apple. If this was made better the Docks wouldn't break so easily. Normal USB adapters should have been included with the product instead of the mini-doc, or at least backup cables. A standard USB port connection could also have been used.

Check out the alternatives which are much more reasonably priced.

Having a backup dock or adapter is a must for your iPod shuffle. It just doesn't make sense to buy this replacement from Apple.

Good luck!

Sleek and what you would except from Apple, but watch out cause these things break easy. Very easy to snap off the connector and the base is somewhat awkward to stand alone on your desk when the iPod is not in the base. I agree it is a little bit pricy for 30 bucks, especially when you paid 79 for the entire iPod/Base combo.

Ordered this dock as a replacement for the original dock that came with my son's IPOD. It is advertised as retail packaging, which it is not. This dock is visibly worn, the cord is dirty and there is dirt/rust on the USB plug. It was contained in a small ziplock bag and then wrapped in 2 small pieces of foam and put in an unpadded envelope for shipping. The metal plug in on the dock itself is bent (whether from shipping, or from prior damage, I don't know) and the dock is not functional. Disappointing purchase, will return this item and pay more to purchase it in a store where at least I know I'm getting what I need.

I ordered this used Ipod dock for my 2nd generation shuffle and it arrived in great shape and it works. Sure beats paying $29.00 that Apple wanted for a new one.

this piece of junk came broken first of all and second it was cheap plastic. You get what you pay for and don't pay for it like I did. Im never buying from this company again and i suggest you do the same

I didn't want to worry about frying my iPod with a third party dock. I almost got something else, but this is the real thing and way cheaper than the $30 for one from the store. Totally satisfied with Amazon. The design is lacking, but buying this was better than a dead iPod.

This product was delivered to me quickly and although the box wasn't in perfect condition, the docking station was and it works well. Very happy with this order.

This is a great dock, easy to use-just plugs into your usb port on computer to charge the ipod shuffle.

This is the third or fourth dock we have purchased in less than a year. They are not built very sturdy at all, and the pin coming up gets bent or broken easily. The shuffle is nice, though.
