Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Emerge Tech Retractable USB Cable for iPod (White)
Customer Review: Works Fine for iPhones and iPads
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased two of these cables after my last remaining Apple cable that I was using to charge my iPad was chewed to pieces. I was a bit hesitant since the iPad has higher voltage requirements to charge, but decided that the low price outweighed the risk.
I'm happy to say that this cord does indeed charge both my iPhone 3GS and my iPad. I noticed that it did take a bit longer to charge the iPad and the cord got a bit warm at the USB end, but it got the job done. No issues with syncing my iPhone with iTunes.
I would definitely recommend this cable for anyone looking for a cheap replacement to the official Apple cable, which has the same functionality with a much larger price tag. No issues with the seller and relatively quick shipping times.
Customer Review: Never Received Them
Summary: 1 Stars
Just a word of warning to people dealing with ClearAV, I ordered two of these cables and never received them. I contacted the seller multiple times in order to get it resolved. Their only response was that they had contacted USPS to find my package. We all know how well that goes. I didn't hear from them after that. I followed up two times after that with no response. I had to file a claim with Amazon regarding this. A few days after I filed the claim ClearAV contacted me offering to ship new cables if I dropped my claim. Too bad I already ordered elsewhere.
Buyer beware of this company. I went and read the feedback for them and I am definitely not the only one that hasn't received their product. Not worth the hassle of dealing with them.
Customer Review: Does not work with iphone 3gs
Summary: 2 Stars
Does not work with the iPhone 3GS. I bought 4 after reading good reviews, and I am upset that they would advertise that it would work.
When I connect my phone and computer with the USB cord, I get a message that says: "This device is not supported," and it won't charge or sync. If I unplug it several times I can force it to charge my phone, but when I think about it I probably shouldn't do that anymore since the cord is clearly not supported (safe) for iPhone usage.
The retractable cord works well. But it's pretty short--about the length of a normal USB cord or less (fully extended length is 32 inches).
For $1, it's about what you'd expect if you bought an iPhone cord from the dollar store down the street.
Customer Review: Top notch for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
I've tried several less expensive cables (the retail iPod sync cable is about $20) and this by far the best. the mechanism is reliable and the cable itself works flawlessly; always detects and charges my iPhone/iPod correctly and never drops.
Also, it's SO nice for my purse or briefcase because it's not getting knotted and tangled like most cables.
The only flaw, and the reason I didn't rate it 5 stars is I think the cable is a couple inches too long. When it retracts it's pretty clear that the cable barely fits on the spool.
So far, it's the best performing non OEM sync/charge cable I've found. And the price is perfect.
Customer Review: iPhone or iPod Touch in a case? You probably shouldn't buy this.
Summary: 2 Stars
I just received this item today. While it does work well, for now, it does NOT attach to my iPhone while it's in my Otterbox case. The end that connects to your iPhone or iPod is wider and thicker than the factory standard one your iPhone/iPod ships with. I don't care how cheap it is, it's poorly designed, considering the substantial percentage of people who keep their iPhones and iPods in cases to prevent damage. Also, the holes the cable is fed through on each side are larger than need be, allowing for the cable to easily twist and potentially tangle during retraction. So, 2 stars, and it's only 2 because it actually functions upon delivery.
