Customer Review: DESTROYED my iPod
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased this charger about 2 months ago, and was just using it for usb & car charger connections. those two worked fine, although the car charger did get a little warm after a while. I plugged it into the wall charger a few days ago & within 5 minutes my iPod was MELTED. (not "melted" as in doesn't work, but melted as in: it's barely recognizable) it was so hot both at the wall plug & the iPod that I burned my fingers trying to unplug it. DO NOT USE THIS PRODUCT. I filed a complaint with Amazon & all the seller did was give me $5, essentially their reaction to having destroyed a $200 mp3 player was "sucks to be you". I repeat. DO NOT BUY THIS. it's definitely worth the extra money to buy from Apple because they will at least take responsibility if their products are faulty.Customer Review: Doesn't charge the iPod
Summary: 1 Stars
Gave it a shot because the price was so good but it just didn't work with the iPod. I narrowed it down to the wire and connector. If I used the old iPod cable with the wall charger it did charge the iPod, if I used the cable that came with the charging set the iPod indicated that there was a connection but it wouldn't charge the unit. Replacing the cable with the original iPod cable caused the iPod to charge. The car charger also would work but only with the original Apple cable.
Since I ordered this to try to replace the Apple cable I have to give it 1 star since the supplied cable didn't work.
I have to mention that I didn't have the size issue that others have had, the cable did fit the iPod without any excess force or adjustment to the plug.
Customer Review: Not sure if it even works.
Summary: 3 Stars
I've had this thing for a few weeks now. I just tried out the wall charger a couple days ago and I couldn't really tell if it was charging or not. The light on the charger came on and everything but, my battery meter didn't seem to move. In comparison with the USB cord I normally charge my iPod Touch with on my laptop, seems to me I should have noticed the battery power go up...a least a little. It seems to be rather cheaply made but it hasn't fallen apart on me yet. Perhaps I didn't leave it plugged in long enough to notice a charge. Haven't tried the DC car charger yet, and from what I've heard about it, I probably never will. For 59 cents, you get what you pay for. If it ends up working out better for me in the future, I will re-post. At least it didn't blow up my iPod.Customer Review: NOT for iPOD Touch 3G
Summary: 1 Stars
It is a grab bag. It all depends on what you get - uhh... no, it all depends on what they feel like to ship out. I ordered one in Nov. 2009 for my son's iPod Touch 3G and it worked fine (still works - knocking on woods). A few days ago, I ordered another exactly SAME one for my daughter and IT DOES NOT WORK. Upon closer look, one from last year is labeled as "Travel Charger" but the one received this week says "Travel Charger For iPhone 3G". Both chargers look exactly same! Go figure.
If anybody needs an extra iPod charger, go ahead and order one. Who knows? You may get lucky. It is a 50/50 chance so I would say it is a fair game!!
Now the BIG question is whether I should buy myself an iPhone in order not to waste this beautiful thing?
Customer Review: Not for Nano
Summary: 2 Stars
I own a Nano. I keep this charger in my car for emergency purposes. If I were on the road and the battery died, I could plug it in. However, I can NOT plug it in to the Nano at the same time that the headphone jack is attached. So, if you need to charge the Nano, you'll have to do so at the expense of listening to music. Standard cigarette lighters also don't work when the car is not on, so it's not like you can leave it charging in your car when you get out either.
On a side note, I recently traveled cross country and drove 750 miles a day while listening to my Nano; the battery never died. So, there would rarely ever be an instance that I could see using this product, aside from my own negligence in forgetting to charge the Nano when I had a chance.
