Reviews for Apple iPod shuffle Dock

I gave my daughter one for Christmas. I truely expected her to lose it, to my shock the dock broke January 19th not even a full month of use. These docks are too fragile and the replacemnet cost of $39.00 is too high. Has Apple come clean yet and started just giving people replacements??? The Shuffle is great!! the dock sucks.

Well I love my 2nd gen Ipod Shuffle but the dock is designed to break. Luckily for me it happened after 2 years of my purchase. The vertical jack just snapped and got stuck in the Ipod. I don't know what to do now!!!:(

I'm very dissatisfied with the doc plug on my shuffle as it broke off when loose in my bag. Sure it was loose, but there really isn't any need for a doc; if the 3.5 mm plug was in-line with the cable, this product would be much more rugged.

The shuffle is great but the seccond gen. charger broke on mine as well. Its nice they fixed it on the third gen. but what about those of use who have the second one????

Like everyone else, my charger post is loose or broken and the charger no longer works. I have borrowed my daughter unit to survive, but I refuse to play the replacement parts game. Next stop, a new unit made by someone who cares about product quality and customer satisfaction. I have had the unit for less than a year and need to spend more than half the cost to replace the charger unit. No way. Good thing this is not new car at that repair cost.

i agree with the other reviews. I have had my shuffle for about a year now, and although it has survived many accidents, the dock has not. the headphone jack broke off. I am going to buy something other than this dock, because it stinks. Really, apple, make a dock or a cable or something that doesn't break when you step on it!

I've been using Apple products for over 10 years. I have their stickers on my car. I am loyal to the brand, and for the first time they've disappointed me. This dock has got to be the most poorly designed thing they've every released. I stepped on my first one, and the metal piece snapped off. That was my fault, no lie. The second one I had just stopped working. I am overseas ATM, so I had nowhere to get real help. I started using my fathers, which he has used only a few times since purchase, and it appears as though this one is giving up the ghost, too. When I put my shuffle into place, the light only turns on when I apply pressure to the top. When I let up, the device ejects itself. This is unacceptable. I hate that this is reducing my usage of my shuffle, as I LOVE it to death, but I could have just bought an entirely new one for less than the cost of new chargers.

I'd like to echo everyone else and ask Apple to make a dockless charger, with a piece at the end of a cable.

I've had my ipod shuffle for years. I use it for all my music for dance team and now my college company. I've always liked using it because it's so small. On my trip home from school my charger broke and now I'm unable to get to any of my music because as figures my ipod is dead. it's annoying to see how easy this dock keeps breaking and it seems a waste to replace it for $30 just to have that one break also. Why is it that they don't just have the charger for the 3rd and 4th generation ipod work with this one also? They all plug into the headphone socket anyways....

i recieved my ipod shuffle for Christmas last year (07) and i love it but the prong on the dock has already been broken actually it only bent just a little but it wont work i have children and they are rough on things thats how it got broke so i would like to see an upgrade on these things because it might start hurting the sell of the actual ipod shuffle

I lost my deck, so I bought a cable for $9 on another website. When I finally found my dock, it was bent in a matter of a week. Even when I bend it back, it didn't work. Seeing how the suffle is only $79, why does the dock cost so much. If you want this dock, might be cheaper to go to Fred Meyers and get it. No shipping costs.
