Dasign flaw
I recently travelled with my new Shuffle, and when I got to my destination I discovered that the vertical plug of the dock that co nnects to the shuffle had snapped off in my backpack, rendering the dock useless. This highlights a design flaw in the design of the dock that comes with the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle, in that the vertical plug is susceptible damage.
Perhaps Apple should consider making available a cheaper alternative USB adapter for the 2nd generation iPod Shuffle that does not feature the upright base of the dock, but rather a simple cable with a USB plug at one end and headphone-like plug at the other. …- Written by oliver B

Piece of junk
The new shuffle itself is great but the dock is a piece of junk. It sits up in a position to be broken off. I've had it for 2 wee ks and it's broken off and useless. A replacement costs $30. It needs to be redesigned to eliminate the cradle and just plug in like the headphones. …

Sucks
I Agree.
Mine has also been snapped because it was on my floor and someone accidently stepped on it. Apple should make a differen t dock that's just a simple cable.
I'm so disappointed to see such a high price (30 bucks??) for this unsecure stuff.. …- Written by Hyung Min L from Boston

Rubbish
The 1st one I had lasted a few weeks and thankfully it was replaced against the receipt. The 2nd lasted a bit longer, about a year and it has now gone kaput. It has simply given up with no signs of life. If I could find the receipt I would claim a new one, or upgrade, as this has not lasted a reasonable time, in my eyes, and was not up to standard. Don't buy one. …
