I chose to purchase this product after reading the reviews about how long this cord was. Reviews said it was over 5ft long. IT IS NOT! At least not the one I received. It is 40 inches, or just over 3ft long. I purchased this as a replacement for the too-short cord that came with my iPhone.

HOWEVER, this is a sturdy, high-quality cord that has a nice locking mechanism. It works perfectly with my iPhone 3G.

I recommend the cord that I got to anyone wanting an additional 3ft cable. However, judging by the different reviews, this company seems to be selling inconsistent products.

Cheap. Made in China. It won't fit when my iPhone is in it's Otterbox Defender case. Need I say more?

cheap, but works as expected with iphone 3g. cable is indeed longer than the standard one.

This cable works just fine with my 3g. Note that it is about 5.75 ft. long, so may not be the best choice for travelers, but is great when an application calls for a nice long cable. I like the locking feature of the phone connector.

This product does exactly what it says. It is a direct replacement for the sync cable that comes with the iPhone. It both syncs and charges when plugged into my computer and when plugged into the stock power plug. It has the added benefit of a locking mechanism to keep the plug from coming out of the phone/iPod unless the sides of the connector are depressed. The construction feels a little more durable than the stock cable although not as artsy. It is nearly 2.5 feet longer than the stock cable which could be a positive or a negative depending on your situation. I am very satisfied with my purchase and would recommend this product.

A note about how I arrive at my rating.
5 Stars - I love this product. I wish everyone had one and I had two.
4 Stars - I like this product and would buy it again.
3 Stars - This product is ok. Im not excited or dissapointed. Meh
2 Stars - I am not pleased with this product although it might be servicable
1 Star - What? Why were valuable resources expended in the production of this utterly worthless waste of space. Maybe I can find an alternative use for this if I can return it. White Elephant Gift?

The title says it all. I made the MISTAKE of purchasing what I thought would be a backup sync/power cord for my iPhone 3G. One reviewer listed the product at 5 feet 10 inches? The cable I received is approximately 24 inches and barely reaches from my desktop located on the floor to my desk.

The USB 2.0 jack is STANDARD. However the iPhone spade is NOT STANDARD! It almost requires HERCULES to remove this cable from your iPhone thereby exposing a very expensive and very important personal communication device that we all rely on daily to PERMANENT DAMAGE!

I have had this cable for 2 months now and no issues with functionality. The USB end of the cable came apart once, but I re-glued with gorilla glue and it is solid.

1. The ad says that the cable is 5'10" long. The cable that I received was between 3 and 4 feet
2. The connector to the iPhone does not have tabs to release it. It can damage the phone

I am asking for full refund - including the shipping charges that I paid.

DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!

My bad for not knowing that 3G is NOT similar to the 3GS.
Do not buy this if you have a 3GS iPhone.

works great, but a bit struck on iphone end.
The USB end was good,but the phone end was a bit struck.
