Customer Review: Its a SCAM !
Summary: 1 Stars
Guys,
Do NOT EVER buy this product. I lost my Ipod Nano(8gb) because of this cheap nonsense. As soon as I plugged in the charger into the wall outlet, and connected it to the nano, the charger blew a fuse, and had smoke coming out of it. My nano didn't start after that. No matter what I tried. I took it to apple store, and they couldn't start it either. My warranty was void.
Go for real apple products, not for these cheap chargers. I'm not sure if this company BargainCell is selling authentic products, or just cheap makeovers without ever having tested them out.
Again, do not buy it, unless you want to risk losing your ipod.
Customer Review: A Gamble, but For the Price, Why Not?
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this product because I wanted to be able to charge my iPod Shuffle without a computer. Hence the adapters with the USB connector.
Item arrived quickly and as a test, I tried charging my iPod Classic using the AC adapter and the retractable cable (different from the cable pictured.) My iPod would freeze up whenever I tried to charge this configuration.
Turns out the cable was bad. Using the Apple cable allowed the iPod to charge fine.
iPod Shuffle charges fine also. So I got what I needed and the retractable cable gets tossed.
For the price, it was a good gamble that worked out for me.

I bought this item for my wife so that she could charger her iPod Touch without tying up one of the USB ports on the computer. She was happy until she tried to use it. The wall adapter will not stay plugged into the wall. I tried several different receptacles in the house and got the same results. The blades are too thin. I purchases a Belkin Wall Charger to replace it and had much better results.
Also, the SHORT retractable cord make it dificult to place the iPod on a table while charging. I'm not to pleased to have to set it on the floor just because the cable is so short.
Customer Review: Apple iPod USB Travel Kit with Car Charger/ Travel Adapter/ Cable - White
Summary: 4 Stars
This charger combo is very useful and works great. I especially like the automatic cord rewind feature. The cords are some what flat so they can only rewind one way, preventing tangling of the cords.
The only drawback is the car adapter emitts electronic noise when plugged into the cigarrette lighter of my '07 RAV4. Even if I dont have the iPod charging but still have the adapter plugged in it has a high pitched whine. Its not really noticeable when the music is playing, but in between tracks, or on tracks that don't have a lot of noise you can hear it.
Customer Review: The gamble: Too good to be true? I'll let you know
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm basically skeptical but I also did not want to spend extra money on something I have come to expect Apple should have given me with my new iPod Nano. Boo. Received the Travel Kit promptly in the mailbox; examined it delicately; read the instruction picture on the USB cable reel to pull both ends at the same time and speed delicately. Plugged in the ipod nano and the wall charger to it and plugged it in the wall outlet. It charged. Yea. I'm free from using my computer to charge. Next, I'll be going to travel with it so when I come back, I'll let you know.
