Customer Review: Unhappy
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this product specifically to charge my new Ipod Touch 3rd Gen. After quite a bit of research I purchased this product, appeared in the list every time I searched for "Ipod Touch 3rd Generation accessories." A few days ago, I plugged another Ipod into the wall charger and it worked fine. However, last night I plugged the new Ipod in and the screen stated something to the effect "Will not charge with unsupported device." Unfortunately for me, that means that this accessory does not fulfill the only purpose for which I bought it. I am not sure if that means that all 3 parts to this package won't work --- wall charger, car charger and USB cord --- but I plan to try them later today. I just wanted anyone searching the same way that I did for a good deal on an accessory to be aware that it doesn't appear to work as advertised.Customer Review: Both wall charger and iPod connection cable didn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
My initial impression of this package was CHEAP, the package that it came in was even taped shut with scotch tape. I opened it and plugged the wall charger into the wall and plugged my iPod into it to charge it and, no surprise here it didn't. I tried a few combination's with the devices to test if they worked,...
1 I tried plugging my PS3 remote to charge it, it didn't work
2 I tried plugging it into a different outlet
3 I tried the extension cable in my computer to charge the iPod, and found the retractable cable didn't work either
My initial thought was that one of the devices didn't work, but it came as a surprise to me that two of the devices that came in this package didn't work properly. Needless to say I didn't even try the Car charger, I packed them back up and sent them back the next day.
Customer Review: Inexpensive, Yet Surprisingly Great!

When we lost our iPod Charger a few months ago, we were feeling pretty hosed. They were fairly expensive to replace when buying at the Apple Store and there were many other options that were fair priced, but the deals were killed on shipping. We ended up picking the universal Apple iPod USB charger kit from Amazon, and seeing how it would go.
It's been almost a year now, and we're happy to say that this charger is still working great for us. We've used the charger in the car, plugged into the wall, and synced it up via computer. While the construction feels a little cheap, it gets the job done - our iPod, iPod Touch, and iPad have all been charger via this charger, quickly and efficiently. We use our charger a lot, as we're entertainers and we rely on our music for our show - this charger hasn't let us down!

So when I lost the charger for my iPod and looked for a replacement, I almost fell over when I saw how much it was going to cost me. I searched Amazon and found this cheap one. The pictures of cheap plastic led me to believe the chargers would fall apart shortly after opening them. Even after opening the cheap packaging, I felt the same way . . . UNTIL . . . I started using them. These things will not die! They've been dropped more times than I can count and they work just great. All the connections are firm (the cords don't slip out of the chargers like some that I've seen).
The only thing that has stopped working is the cord that attaches the iPod to each charger. The reel has busted. I've just replaced it with the cord that came with the iPod and it works great.
Customer Review: Buyer Beware!! Doesn't always work!

This is the cheapest piece of crap that I have ever seen. Cigarette charger was broken upon receiving package, but since I didn't buy it for that I didn't care. Plug in module is cheap, lightweight plastic, which if plugged into wall for long periods of time, will not charge ipod.
If taken out of outlet and allowed to cool off, will charge ipod just fine. (most of the time)
I do NOT recommend this item, I bought for $0.01 and paid $3.99 shipping and handling. It is not worth anything to send back since I will have to pay to send it back and for what?? A penny?
As I said, it works sometimes, don't understand other than (i am guessing) that this cheap chinese made piece of crap overheats and doesn't always work.
Your choice.
