Reviews for Apple iPod shuffle Dock

My dock also got stepped on by accident, and come on thirty dollars, just a simple one for $10 would be fine!! I use my shuffle so much that I can't go a day without charging it or it won't last through another 8 hour workday!!

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

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.

ok well when i first got an ipod shuffle for my birthday i was really excited!!! it has only been three month but already the dock has broken.

It was a chilly afternoon when my mother knocked on my bedroom door, interupting me from reading a good book. I thought she only wanted me to do soem kind of chore which i dreaded doing but what she said had nothing to do with me doing any kind of house work.OH no, it was bad news about my ipod shuffle dock for which i kept in the computer room. I was honestly shocked. I never thought that something of such high quality could break so easily!! So when i walked into the computer room to check it out i found that in truth, my dock thingy(dont now exact name for it, sorry) was bent. i tried fixing it but that didnt work and well, now i have to buy a new one!!i mean really i always thought that apple products were expensive for a reason. But really, how bad did this come out to be??? so now i have to buy a new one with MY money that i have been saving up just in case an emergency happened! so overall i think you should lower the price for the sake of all of us. thank you. :D

Recently, August month, myself and a close friend both purchased ipod shuffles and both have experienced the same problem, our docks broke. Hers cracked inhalf, so for the past month we've been sharing the charger, not a big deal really, until my dock breaks not by physical damage. Also while browsing for a new dock on this site we discover the docks go for about $30 or so, about half of what i paid for the ipod shuffle system. The design is entirly flawed, how can they expect it to last if the prong is stuck out waiting to be broken

Add me to the list of folks who like the shuffle and had the dock die. I've had it about 6 months and wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't SO EXPENSIVE!

This message is for the few.. and I stress FEW of you who haven't had a problem with your dock. You get on here and talk about how irritated you are with all the people complaining, how it is their fault it's broke, and YOURS works perfectly. They don't have to be hit with hammers to break. My daughter's never left the desk, wasn't traveled with, or even unplugged, yet then somehow, the pin gets slightly bent, and it's all she wrote. This dock was obvioulsy poorly constructed, and every person who has a broken one has the right to complain about it without being blamed for something. I like the dock, just wish it was a little stronger. Have a nice day, hope you enjoy your non-broken docks.

All the poor reviews about the docking station breaking...let's not forget about the inability to fit the shuffle with a protective cover in the docking station. Apple knows people are going to accessorize their shuffles. You can't fit the unit in the dock with any cover. I've had to resort to 'gulp' grinding my dock to fit the covered unit....hint..don't grind too far. There is a metal casing a couple mm below the surface :-(

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.

Really like the shuffle but have to agree the docking station is not meant to last. I had mine to 2 weeks it fell off the desk and the tip completely bent. I tried almost everything to fix but looks like I am spending another 30.00 to replace.
