 Looks like something you can buy for less from china July 18, 2008
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.4656
Has basically the SAME thing, ships free from China, and is priced at $1.40
Both sites are reliable, but airmail from china can take up to 2 weeks. That, and, I prefer to use amazon for my orders.
I know of one thing that might be a problem for both of these. The very end of this plug closest to the plastic-like plug, if you accidentally bump it while charging, there is a chance of a USB surge, so don't bump it. Other than that, this is what SHOULD have come with the shuffle to begin with. Where ever you choose, make sure It's from a trusted source.
 perfect for what it does May 11, 2008
It does exactly what it claims to do. I have a little zippered case that is perfect for my iPod shuffle, the earphones and this little device. The original docking base that comes with the shuffle stays with my computer at home, and the IncipioBud goes with me when I travel. Plus, the IncipioBud is perfect for plugging the shuffle into other USB locations like boom boxes, etc., without having to haul the cabled docking base around with you.
Essential 2G Shuffle Technology! March 11, 2008
So you have gone to the trouble of purchasing a 2G Shuffle (the real one, made out of metal) as a "second iPod"; you have at least one laptop upon which you depend for many of the essential features of 21st century life; then why in heaven's name would you want to be stuck with the brain-damaged dock that Apple insists on selling with the Shuffle?
The IncipioBud plugs into a USB port and into your 2G Shuffle, and you are off to the races. Small, easy to fit in the tighest carrying spaces (mine stays in the carry case of my Asus Eee PC 4G (7 Screen, 800 MHz Intel Celeron Processor, 512 MB RAM, 4 GB Hard Drive, Linux Preloaded) Pearl White, which is itself breathtakingly small and functional), and just plain cool.
Works with Mac, Microsoft and my ASUS Linux-derived OS -- so buy one! You'll thank me later.
I bought it for MUCH less- woks perfectly. March 6, 2008
I bought this identical item at 5Below for $5.00 (no shipping) put it on a neck chain with my shuffle - now I have everything I need to charge and sync my shuffle together! Considering Apple just halved the price of new shuffles these accessories should drop substantially in price including shipping - a plain envelope is fine!
I love my shuffle but I got tired of losing my place when I am listening to books (inadvertent pressing of buttons) and spent a lot of time "fast forwarding". I now have an iPod Touch (love it - but bought with points) and use my shuffle when I am in a place where charging could be inconvenient - when I fly long distances. The capacity is pretty amazing. I want to purchase a dock adapter but they are overpriced - no doubt the price will drop.
Inexpensive and sleeker alternative to the Apple charger. January 19, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
After I accidentally stepped on my charger and broke off the stem, I looked for a replacement through Apple only to be shocked at the price. Some browsing on Amazon brought up this diminutive alternative, and although skeptical of the much lower cost, I was pleasantly surprised! It's much more unobtrusive (no possibility of stepping on it!), smaller, no cord to get tangled, easy to transport when traveling, and works just as well!
