This product works great. BUT make sure this is the product that you need. I ordered this for the old click wheel ipod, and it works perfectly, I can use the cord to charge and to sync the ipod (I have the new macbook so I also purchased a firewire-DP adapter)but I don't think it works with newer ipods so be sure to check. If you have an old ipod and lost the apple cables this is a great replacement. BUT if you have another ipod model I would double check to see if it will work before purchasing.

I purchased these because, after about a year, the contacts in the cables that come with the iPod stop working for synching (they're fine for charging) and I'd rather have a few extras around for synching when I need to do that. So far, these have done fine, and since I'll be keeping them in my desk for synching only (and moving the original cables to the various charge stations I have around the house) they should last a good, long time. It's nice to be able to retract them, though I can foresee some wear at the connection between plug and cable and dock plug and cable.

3.0 out of 5 stars Charges great, but doesn't sync my 1st generation iPod touch, December 31, 2011

I ordered this to replace one that was lost in a fire. I still had the adapter from my last one that can be used to charge my iPod in a wall outlet, so I ordered this replacement cable to fit the adapter (firewire). The seller was great and my cable arrived very quickly. Unfortunately, this cable doesn't work to sync my iPod. It charges great when plugged into my computer or used with my firewire adapter in the wall outlet, but I have no means of syncing my iPod. Since charging works, I can only assume that the wire isn't completely compatible with my generation of iPod touch. Sad.

When charging, I love that this is retractable. It keeps the wires from getting kinked when I stuff it in a drawer and they're not all over the place when I'm charging it in the wall outlet. It keeps the wire nice and neat for travel. Overall, it is a good product, just not fully compatible with my iPod.
