2.0 out of 5 stars Good idea poor workmanship, March 20, 2006
This review is from: Griffin iFM Radio, Remote, and Recorder for iPod (Electronics)
The iFM remote worked great for about 4-5 days then the cord that connects to the ipod broke just like another customer reported. The thing now only plays the radio and thats it. No remote functions or recording. The cord seems to be made of really chep plastic. Then another thing is the iFM is just plain ugly to have attached to my jacket, because it has these two cords coming out one end of the controller looking like a jungle has attacked my ipod. Basically I wouldn't buy it again. Nice concept poor materials.

It's not clear from the description that this product only works with older model iPods with the remote control port. It didn't work with my Classic, and won't work with any recent model iPod. The seller refunded my money with no problem.

This review is from: Griffin iFM Radio, Remote, and Recorder for iPod (Electronics)
It would've been nice if this built on top of the already sleek and efficient design of the iPod remote. Unfortunately, it's only similar in color. My first problem was that there is nowhere to lock the buttons, so expect random fast forwards or pauses while walking. This could be tolerated, but the worst issue is how quickly it fell apart. I've always had issues with the Apple remote wire coming apart, but that usually takes me over a year. I used this remote for about 6 weeks before it started to come undone and 10 days later it was finished.

Not recommended.
