Cables To Go 5-foot USB Sync Cable for iPod (White)

You also need a power to USB adaptor to fully charge your iPod through a wall outlet. That is much stronger than recharging through your PC port. This is true for all of these cables and not just this one.

I'm sure most people looking at this item are like me: wanting to find a cheaper route than buying a new $30 apple cable. Apple fanboy, I aint. As it happens, I wish I had just bought the real thing right away, so I wouldn't be messing with this piece of junk.

First off, this does not work for charging at all. "No problem," I thought. "I'll just use it exclusively for syncing." Well, it turns out that while your device is syncing with this cable - instead of getting fed some low voltage USB juice - it drains the device completely.

So, if you want a cable that will sync your device but you must watch over it lest the device go dead, then this is for you!

But I recommend buying the original apple cable and do it right the first time.

A lot of people were mistaken by saying it was an iPhone/iPod cable, it's a cable for an iPhone/iPod and not made by Apple. I recieved the product as advertised and at first had trouble with it not working correctly and found out it was because it wasn't pushed in all the way, being lazy on my part. It was turning off and on when charging, so if anyone runs into the same problem just make sure it is pushed in completely. For the price I thought it was a pretty good product and a whole lot cheaper than the actual Apple version and built better, the iPhone cable that comes with the phone is so much thinner and cheaper made.

I'm not sure why some people put only 1 star and said it was poor quality. This is a very nice quality cable. I've had it for some time now and it's still working great. It's not super light and flimsy, the cable doesn't get twisted or kinked. I'm glad I read all the reviews first.

There's not much to say except that this is an inexpensive, high quality product, and is a lot sturdier and thicker than the cable that Apple provides you. This is exactly what I needed, a stronger and longer cord to charge my iPhone/iPod. This cable is also great if your electric outlet is far from your bed and you use your iPhone as your alarm clock.
