    I also had problems with my shuffle dock (within about 4 months of buying the ipod) and it appears I'm not the only one - but seriously guys, £6 (including postage) off ebay, its not an official apple dock, but does the job just as well, actually better considering I haven't broken it yet!

    POOR Quality

    I did not expect this pretty design to be so poor in quality, its a shame that apple can not manufatcure this better for the quantity of buyers they have. I strongly believe they should re-call this part and replace all the sold ones at no charge.

    I bought an ipod shuffle for my daughter and she adors it but the dock was a piece of garbage she didnt even have it for a month yet i am disappointed in apple she cant even use her ipod because she cant charge it i think you should give people a discount on these docks or get in for free because this is rediculous

    Why is this cheap easily breakable charger 30 bucks? I loved the shuffle when i got it, I'll admit it was my own doing which caused it to break, but it was way too easy and it is way too much money to replace. Thanks again apple for over-pricing your mediocre products.

    Durability

    The dock is fine .. And as to people who make posts because of other people complaining please dont make it sound as if we dont take proper care of the docks. What i find is that the complains are mostly about the dock pin breaking.. I think the dock works fine the problem here is durabilty ... There is a significant problem here as the dock's durability is horrible and it seems because of minor accidents.. Such as dropping it. Its a cable if it drops its not expected to spoil.... Just saying i broke mine too and i live in singapore to get a new cable is 55$ i think this is too much but i cant find anywhere else to get it

    If your not extremely careful it will break!

    I just broke my second one. I travel very often and am addicted to my ipod so the dock had to travel with me everywhere and with the vertical pin i broke it again. So if you are going to leave it safely on a neat shelf or desk you'll be fine but otherwise it makes the shuffle so not worth it.

    Not only has MY shuffle dock broken, but so have BOTH of my daughters'! That means 3 shuffles that can't be charged, and three customer that go no longer shop the I-tunes store. No matter how you look at it Apple, that's bad business!

    Total Piece of Junk

    Wow. Most people have USB ports at the bottom/back of their computer. Now, the iPod shuffle dock plugs into the USB port. This requires it to be on the ground. If something has a ridiculously fragile stem that bends whenever slight pressure is applied, it will bend when on the ground. And if the metal stem is broken or bent, you can't put the iPod on correctly, and the computer can't read it.

    Apple, get with it and make a durable dock. Now I have to shell out $30 for my SECOND replacement dock! And I'll probably just break it again. Thanks, Apple!

    piece of garbage

    I had had my Ipod for about 1 month when my mom(not wearing shoes) sat down and stepped on it. Even with barely any weight, the metal part bent. I tried to move it back, but instead it broke. Apple should either make a straight connector or make this cheaper. As for now, I will try to search for an aleternative. $30 plus shipping when you can get a whole package(shuffle, dock, etc.) for $50!?!?

    Not really happy.

    The tip broke off of the dock. Ok, that would have been my fault, however, it is obviously poorly made just by looking at all of the reviews for this product. I won the Shuffle, so I don't see spending money on it just to spend it again shortly after, ecspecially since I could buy a whole new one for $20 more. I will go back to my previous MP3 player and take the loss for the songs that I can't play on it.

    Too bad the genius that designed the Shuffle didn't design the dock. Mine broke and $30 is outrageous.

    i never traveled with mine, it just never worked. i thought the ipod was broken when it was brand new out of the box. Since i had purchased the other charger that plugs directly into the usb port, i tried my shuffle on that charger and it works.

    Unhappy with the dock.

    I thought my daughter was at fault until I read all the reviews on the iPod Shuffle dock. I can't understand why the male connector would be made this way. Hers broke off in her suitcase. I too think this item should be recalled and replaced with something more substantial. Please step up to the plate on this issue.

    Frustrating and expensive to replace

    Shuffle is great, however, the silly docking station breaks and you are in deep trouble. What is it with Mac products?... great ideas, beautiful execution, zero reliability. I'll think twice about getting anything Mac again.
