I bought this cable hoping for a reasonably priced alternative to the outrageously priced Apple cable. This cable worked fine to charge my iPod when plugged into an inexpensive 110V USB charger. But I had major difficulties when I tried using it as a synch cable. I had frequent USB lock-ups with this cable plugged in to my laptop (i.e. mouse and keyboard freezing). And when I foolishly tried to update the software on my son's iPod over this cable it trashed the iPod firmware, requiring a full reset of the pod and reload of all music. Given the very low price I guess I shouldn't complain too much, but it went into the trash shortly after it arrived.

Purchased this item, was thrilled that it was so inexpensive.
Cable got here, I take it out of the package, it's too short to use with my Windows XP desktop PC, unless I want my iPod Nano sitting on the floor under and slightly behind my desk. It does work, but I've got a longer, better cable for that same purpose. But that's ok, we bought it as a second cable so that my husband can use it with his Apple iBook, and his Mac OS formatted iPod Video. So he plugged the cable into his iPod, and into every different USB port on his iBook... nothing happens.
This cable is not compatable with Macs! If you're not a Windows user don't bother, it won't work for you!
I had to get a refund for mine, the seller was nice enough to give a refund without my having to even send the cable back, since I suppose it would have ended up costing them more to reimburse me for shipping it BACK to them than it did to just give me my money back.
The product page needs to specify that this is a Windows-only compatable cable. Although if I hadn't experienced it myself, I probably wouldn't have believed it, that a CABLE can work with one OS but not another.

I ordered this and it didnt work as the description said it would. I contacted the company and let them know about it not working. They PROMPTLY sent me out a replacement.

The new one didnt work either. Rather than bother the company with another claim, I just chose to eat the cost since it was only about [...] total.

The companys customer service treats its customers very good, at least they did me and this incident.

I will most likely buy from them again based on the customer service, just not one of these cables.

They state it will work with an iPod Touch as a charging/syncing cable, but it didnt work with mine.

These cords were not produced by Apple. The packaging states they are SF Planet. The cord will not work on an older computer it totally blanks it out everytime we plug it in. It does work on the new laptop, but it seems to slow it down a bit.

Works great. Fits well, works well, just as good as ones that sell for a lot more. It fits my iPhone with the otter box cover, which many cords don't Excellent product

Great product!!!!!!! The cable is alittle bit longer but two me that's good thing. I recommend this product if you need it and plus it's really cheap.

Apple charges $20.00 for this product. I purchased this version for 1/10 of that. To be fair, it is different from the real version. This version does not have the tabs on the side to release the inner "prongs." This means that you have to yank the cord out from your iPod or iPad. I would imagine that this would probably not be good over the long haul.

Nevertheless, this is a great product for the price. It does what you need it to do; namely, charge your Apple products.

This product performed flawlessly. The product operated as advertised and makes a great addition to your iPod toolkit. The cable is long enough for efficient operation and the overall product is robustly constructed.

I guess you're spinning the roulette wheel with this product. It came quickly in the mail, but did not fit my Ipod (it looked like it should fit, but no matter how I tried to shove, the Ipod end was just too wide). So I contacted the seller, and the company responded next-day, offering refund or replacement. I opted for the refund, and still have the (useless) cable, but the 2 stars are for the great customer service

I ordered this cable, as mine was all but falling apart, and I've been strapped for cash, so a $20 cable at Apple was out of the question. When I got it, the packaging was cheap and torn, and the cable doesn't seem very sturdy. However, it does work for charging, so 3 stars.

NOTE: If you have the Otterbox Defender DO NOT get this cord, it won't fit into the slot in the bottom. The fixture is too wide.
