1.0 out of 5 stars You Get What You Pay For!!, February 14, 2008

By	Michelle - See all my reviews

I took a chance and bought this even though I saw the bad reviews. I thought to myself "it's only a dollar, if it dies in a month or two like the reviews say, I will just get something else because this does have some good reviews...." This completely ruined my Ipod Classic 80 gig. My Ipod was 1 month old, I had to return it and get a refurbished one because of this!!
It shipped to me real quick so I was happy, then i took it out of the packaging and right away charged my Ipod to a full battery relatively quickly, still happy. Then I went to listen to my Ipod.... Every single song was complete static! I restored it to factory settings and reloaded with the same problem. I took it back to apple who restored it again and put their music on it and they got the same results!

I have never written a review before, but I felt the need to warn anybody who is on the fence about buying this.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not good if you intend to use it on ipod touch, November 9, 2007

By	Amnster (California) - See all my reviews

I bought it to be used with my ipod touch. I was really excited that I wouldn't have to buy the expensive apple charger, but when I hooked it up I was disappointed. I noticed that if I tried to use the ipod while charging the screen started to flicker. also on places where you have to drag your finger ie. unlock from sleep mode, it seems to be not working properly and it gives it an effect that its sticky like glue, makes it feel like you are dragging it by force. So i didnt take any risk using it anymore and ended up buying the expensive apple's version, so this is a complete waste of money for me.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent for a charger back-up, May 15, 2007

By	Larkenfield - See all my reviews

Unless I'm downloading new music to my iPod video, I prefer to recharge it using this. It's fast and dependable and it's $28 cheaper than an Apple charger, with both doing exactly the same thing. Also there's an effective lock on the plug insert that keeps in firmly in place as it's charging your unit. Recommended as an excellent value.
