Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Dock Connector to USB 2.0 Cable for iPod and iPhone (White)
Customer Review: Not an Apple product ! Spotty performance
Summary: 1 Stars
Do NOT Use this cable. Despite the fact that the seller has identified this as being an Apple product, it's not. It's made by a company called Inspire Tech. I notified Amazon that the product details are wrong, but there's been no resolution. I would never have purchased this cable if that info hadn't been wrong. I bought two and one didn't work at all and other cut out after a few uses.
Some reviewers have said that the cost is low enough that you can afford to buy a bunch a throw away the ones that don't work... I really don't agree with that. Using a bad cable on any device that draws power through the cable is a recipe for a screwed up device. It's a risk that's not worth taking considering the cost of the devices you're hooking up to it! Avoid! Amazon sells a retractable iPod/iPhone cable that is about $9 and performs perfectly.
Customer Review: Non-genuine cable with a cheap connector; fails quickly
Summary: 1 Stars
UPDATE: despite use only a few times a week, the cord frayed within three months and began delivering a fake charge (iPhone thought it was charging, but in reality the battery level would just decrease). I have therefore downgraded my review from two stars to one. Consider this a disposable item at best.
Not much I can say about this that hasn't already been said. This does appear to be very similar to an Apple cable, but it is not the real deal. The 30-pin connector is of very low quality and has trouble connecting. In some cases it seems that the connector may damage your device. I guess it's worth the price paid, but it remains to be seen how long it will hold up. I'm using it as an additional charger in my car (so friends can charge while I use my car dock), so it will thankfully not be getting daily use.
Customer Review: Nice Product - Poor Delivery Service
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered the product on June 13th, hoping to get it delivered to me by June 24th so I could use my Ipod on a plane trip. It was supposed to only take up to 7 days for delivery. Well, needless to say I didn't receive it when expected so I could not use my Ipod. The delivery finally came on July 2nd. I would check online daily to see the delivery status and it was never updated until June 23rd, 10 days later. I contacted Amazon and they informed me that since I actually was purchasing the product through Clear Av that I needed to contact them. I tried several times to contact them, but was never able to.
I have had good service with Amazon.com, so this review is not negative towards them. But, if purchasing a product from Clear Av, I would be cautious if you need to get it promtly.
Customer Review: You people are idiots
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered one for my son, two for me, and two for my sister. We're all in different states. Everyone received their cables in a week and, judging from mine, I can't tell the difference between Apple's and these knock-offs. Wouldn't have cared if they were pink and green, tho, cuz THEY WORK PERFECTLY!
My roommate who turned me on to them got some earlier in the year and they're a little different. A little cheezier but they work just fine. Anyone who ordered them thinking they were going to be Apple originals is an idiot...I mean, they sell for $19 at the Apple Store, right?
The most entertaining moron review was from the guy who said his cable 'heated up' more than the original. Oy!
BTW, we're all iPhone 4 users so they work with 3G's and the new 4's.
Customer Review: by who?
Summary: 3 Stars
This product was advertised as "by Apple". Clearly it is not. It is a clear knock off that still does the job albeit with a much chunkier more plastic snap on connector. Where the apple logo should be is the USB symbol. This is not by Apple. The color match is not even close. This very off white, near cream colour cord does the job but should not be tooted as "by Apple". Maybe "for Apple iPods" is better.
Review wise it either works or it doesn't - this dock connecter works on PC, MAC, XBOX 360, PS3, & Eternal Speakers. This dock connector works with all generations of iPod Classic, iPod, iPod Nano (1st, 2nd & 3rd gen), iPod Touch (1st & 2nd gen). I have tried on all the iPods listed. I have not tried on my iPhone yet.
