1.0 out of 5 stars Misleading product picture., November 1, 2010

Buyers BEWARE!!! The picture of this product is misleading, which shows the round connector to iPhone. Instead, it is a large rectangular/square connector with protruding buttons, which is totally unusable if you have case or skin on your iPhone. Useless, not worth the hassle of return it.

Contacted customer service and these are their replies:

"With the OrionGadgets cable, you will not be able to fit the phone with a case/skin on the iphone."
"This cable is made to work optimally on a "naked" phone, without any skin or case on it."

Really??? It would nice if these are in the product description or the picture is showing the correct item.

I'm still amazed at how good this product is. I purchased it because I wanted to keep one in the car as a spare. It has become the main one for me. It does feel cheep on your hands probably because it is very light. However, that's a false impression since it's very sturdy and reliable. I will order one for my wife as well. I highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Purchased in 2009 and style works, November 11, 2011

I purchased one of these in 2009 and love it. It measures just about 2.5 inches when pulled out at full length. I use this all the time with my iPhone and iPod. I purchased a few more because they are good to have in each car, at work, or just for spares. Compact, easy to pack when traveling, and very easy to use. I like the new style versus the old style. The old style I have (the photo I have provided) has protruding buttons on the sides. The new style does not and instead, to remove the connector from the device, you have to press the hidden buttons and sometimes it's easy to forget they are there. I recommend this to anyone, especially at the cost. Buy a couple.
