Customer Review: 3G/GS USB 2.0 Doc Connector
Summary: 5 Stars
If you are on this page, your search for a 'smarter' option than purchasing it at App Store at standard price + shipping certainly ends here. Because this one just works fine!
Both me & my wife own 3GS, so we need this cable everywhere. computers and home, work, car and its been a while so the original cable started cracking from the ends.
So far I've orders 6 cables from diff online sites and these are the best so far. As other reviewers said it doesn't look like the original cable, but it works exactly as one.
The USB end looks like regular USB Type A. the iPhone/iPad end is like the original connector but the inside lock plastic is white instead grey (which in my opinion looks better). As opposed to some older models with depress-able side locks, this one is just like the original connector.
What makes this cable better than the original cable is at both ends of the cable when it goes in the dock or USB connector, it has the flexible support which stops the cables to crack at the first place . Not sure how Mr. Jobs' design team missed that.
Edit - For Some reason amazon picks up different sellers, mine were from BlueHarbor, so you really need to see which one you are buying, in the shipped from or shipped by section
Customer Review: WOW! WHAT A GREAT DEAL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand what the other reviews are saying. When I read the reviews to this product before I bought it from this seller, I was worried. But since it was about $1 and had free shipping, I thought I'd get it, despite the negative reviews.
First off, let me tell you about the great shipping experience. 2 days after I ordered this usb for the ipod, I received it! 2 DAYS! AND I DIDNT HAVE TO PAY FOR SHIPPING!! They sent it to me in first class mail too!
Also, other reviews said they received it from China. Mine came from California.
I have another USB cale that came from the APPLE store. I compared EVERYTHING. Seriously, I'm still confused if the USB i got is a fake...both USB cable have everything in common. I inspected them both for a long time and cant find a difference.
Then I put my new USB cable to the test. I inserted it to my Sony Vaio with my ipod attached. Instantly, my ipod came up in my itunes. I even downloaded like 20 songs! There is no flaw to this USB cable!
This is the best deal I have ever gotten in Amazon. I have never gotten free first class shipping, excellent quality, and good performance for such a good price!
Overall, this item is 5 stars :)
Customer Review: Worked Perfect
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered this cable as a spare to keep in my laptop case. The cable that arrived seemed identical in every way to the cable that shipped with my iphone 3G, except that it did not include the Apple logo on the USB plug. Even under a magnifying glass every detail and color was the same, and it functioned perfectly as a power and sync cable. These may be made by the same company that makes them for apple, except they can't legally use the apple logo since it's not sold directly by Apple.
I was surprised at the many 1 star reviews, and sadly suspect that some or many were posted by disgruntled merchants who have been selling replacement cables for much higher prices. I don't have any proof of this however it's common ambush marketing. This is only a hunch however based on these reviews I put this cable through a battery of tests. The cable that Amazon shipped was fine. It was shipped in a small plastic bag, not an ornate package; however, that is why this cable can be sold for under $3!
I always felt the $10 and $15 sync cable replacements were a rip-off -- it's just a cable folks. Highly recommended and a good value.
Customer Review: Cheap, it works, and it's from Apple!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this iPod nano (1st generation) from my home boy for 15 bucks. He said he didn't have an extra cord to give to me. So the iPod was basically useless until I got one. So I instantly knew one would be on Amazon because its AMAZON!!!!. I saw the price and instantly preceded with buying the item.
And then I read the reviews. I thought "damn." Its fake, and I hate, hate, HATE!!! fake items. So I read the bad and good reviews and most of them said they were not authentic even though it did work, but some said the ones they ordered were from apple.
So I waited for the item to come in the mail. I ordered it on Tuesday, September 14 and it came on Friday, September 17.
And to my surprise it was actually from Apple. I ordered from the OEM shop which apparently everybody didn't buy from. But they do sell authentic items. I connected the iPod to my computer to put songs on it and and it worked beautifully. And I am very happy with my purchase because I didn't have to pay 20 dollars from apple.
So my advice buy from the OEM shop and you'll receive an authentic iPod connector cable.
Customer Review: Great cheap cable
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered two of these, and both are great. Both work flawlessly with my iPod Touch with OS 4.1 on Windows XP and Mac OSX 10.4. A lot of reviews said they were unable to connect or whatever, but this cord worked the same as any other iPod cord I've used on both my computers.
Although it is a bit misleading to show the actual Apple product in the picture, and the one sent is just a cheap Chinese (assumed) replica, they're all the same in the end, plastic coated copper. Plus this only costs $1.25! Do you really think Steve Jobs is going to let an authentic Apple product sell for that little? Get real.
This is a great cord, at a great price. I bought two; one of them as a replacement for the Griffin wall charger I lost the cord for, and it actually ended up being better than the Griffin one in that it allows sound to be played from it or the headphone jack while charging, and the Griffin one did not.
In the end, I really don't see how anyone could possibly give this $1.25 cable anything but a 5 star review.
