Workable lock with glaring weakness,
By
This review is from: Targus Eyelet Security Lock for iPod (Electronics)
This lock works as advertised. It is small and unobtrusive so that it can be easily transported. Moreover, it is extremely easy to use. However, it does have one glaring security weakness. Namely, the tumblers do not automatically reset once you unlock your iPod. If you take the lock with you, this is not a problem. However, there is a high probability that users like me who leave the lock at work will unlock their iPods and leave the lock on their desks where anyone with access can view it. If you do not manually turn the tumblers after unlocking your iPod, this means that your combination will be in plain site for any unscrupulous individual who will then be able to take off with your iPod the next time you have it locked on your desk unattended.

Worthless piece of junk,
By Andy K. "misanthrope" (Oakland, CA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Targus Eyelet Security Lock for iPod (Electronics)
Once upon a time, a pair of ghetto rats grabbed my ipod and ran off with it while I was walking to the train. This is something of a common problem here (Oakland). So, when I got a new one, I wanted to be able to secure it to my purse. While this surely would not stop a very determined attempt, and a combination of 3 digits only takes a few minutes to solve, it would at least stop the same sort of snatch & run attack.
The lock, however, appears to be suffering from a terrible design. See, the lock mechanism itself works. When the numbers are set to the combination, the little hooks go in as you squeeze the buttons. And when the combination is not set, the hooks stay out. (Take a look at the connector to your charger, it has the same kind of hooks). However, the hooks themselves do not securely hold the ipod! To test it, I attached the ipod, locked it, and gently mimicked how the lock would dangle if it were, say, hanging from my purse. To my chagrin, the ipod slipped right off. Mind you, I did not pull on the ipod or the lock, and am positive it was securely attached (i heard the click). This is also a brand new ipod nano, so it's not like it weighs much. All I did was dangle the ipod from the lock, and it slipped off. So. In conclusion, this is a positively worthless item. I have no idea why the other person gave it 4 stars. Sheer lunacy.
