Reviews for Apple iPod shuffle Dock

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????

Its good, but stupid! Step on it, leave it out.. it'll break.
AND I don't wanna pay 30 bucks for a new one. Thats about as much as an ipod shuffle WITH a new cable is..

I'm a huge advocate for apple's products, but this charger left me disappointed. I didn't drop it or break it, but one day mine just stopped working. Apple products don't just stop working, so shame on Apple for not making a product that's up to par. And, judging by most of the other reviews here, most of the other reviewers seem to be have the same general consensus.

p.s. for the "take care of your stuff" person. Get over yourself. Apple's products are not divine and they do break sometimes. Go nag people who care.

i agree with you guys the chager should be like just a chord like the other ipod chargers then that way it won't get broke...i've been with out music for a month and i love my music and now i want music i'm going crazy but ya change the style of the shuffle's charger!!

Mine wasn't stepped on because I didn't clean my room, I didn't leave it in my backback, etc. (someone snidly replied somewhere else about I guess the fact that we are careless people...).

Mine fell off the desk. The prong broke. Guess I should have used duct tape so it wouldn't fall off (I'm assuming the response from the other guy...)

Loved it while it worked. No fixing it after it's broken. I found a cheap "generic" one piece. Love it.

It's highly functional, adorable, and incredibly fragile. This is my second broken dock for this Shuffle, meaning that soon I will have spent more money on replacement docks than on the original Shuffle. Grr.

This would work beautifully if it lived in a consistent home, such as permanently attached to a desktop computer or only ever staying on a desk where my laptop lives at home. In the future, I will be doing exactly that. I love the Shuffle because I'm on the go, so I'd gotten in the habit of wrapping the cord and throwing the dock in my backpack's outer pocket so that I could charge it at work if I forgot to charge it at home.

The metal stem on the first one got loose and eventually stopped transmitting power. I figured I must have stepped on it at some point or something, so I got a new one and resolved to be more careful. Less than six months later, the stem (plug?) of the new one snapped in two at the halfway point between the base and the point. Lame.

I'm going to be purchasing the Griffin dock next, as it's cheaper, and it's going to be living on my desk at all times. Less convenient, but less expensive in the long run.

For such a cheap product, it broke by the way, it is better to just buy a new shuffle than another dock.

I took it with me to California. I kept thinking about the pin breaking while in my bag. Sure enough it was broken when I got there. I had no way to charge it while away from home cause i wasnt going to buy another one away from home so it could happen again. Its perfect if you dont move the dock and only use the shuffle when your close to home. Dont travel with the wire cause it will break.

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.
