    I got an ipod shuffle for xmas and already the dock is broken. That sucks. I went to several different stores to see if they sold the dock and nobody has it. Now I have to spend $40. to get a new one. You should have these docks at the stores like you do with all of your other products. It has been very inconvienient for myself and my mother. She is the one that had to drive me to the store to look for the dock. It has been nothing but a big headache. You should lower the price on the dock and start sending them to the stores where we can get it much easier!!!!!!!!!!

    dock quit working

    Son's shuffle (Christmas gift) stopped working. I checked the dock, which is the problem; no power. Don't know what happened as it's been plugged in and left alone; not moved. Got maybe 4 charges out of it. This is our first Apple product, and maybe the last?

    Poor Design and Quality

    After having in possession for 3.5 weeks, tip of head broke off when disconnecting Ipod. Design is too fragile and replacement cost outrageous.

    Threw whole shuffle in trash. Will not buy apple IPOD again. Will try to find more durable product.

    same story as everybody else, it only lasted 2 weeks. It bent and then would not work, I am very disappointed to find out I have to pay 30 dollars, to me this is a rip off and I would have been better getting a 2gb ipod nano

    The vertical metal thing broke off my first dock.
    Painful!
    I bought a replacement.
    This worked for a few months, however now, it doesn't.
    Nothing is visibly broken, however there is no USB connection.
    Looking at it positively the actual iPod shuffle will have survived three docks - 3 cheers!
    Or - realistically - the dock blows.
    I'm a realist, me.

    Here's What I Found When I Cut This Dock Right Down The Middle....

    I cut the dock in half. It has an electronic board inside. So there is more than meets the eye. Maybe, the dock design had to fit the small design of the shuffle. To keep everything small, durability was sacrificed

    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!!

    JUNK

    I was reading alot of reviews of this product and i agree with every single one. the port bends/breaks way to easy and Apple should just make a cable with that piece at the end. My 10lb dog stepped on the dock and bent it...and that aint alot of weight

    Who designed this?!

    • Written by from Playa Del Rey

    Someone has got to change this design. Was it never tested? How long until the fix comes along? You can best believe that I will steer everyone I know away from purchasing a shuffle...not because of the main equipment, but due to the dock. Can't wait to go spend $30...AGAIN!

    Complete Junk!

    My household received 2 Shuffles for x-Mas and neither of the docking stations work consistantly. The connection is sloppy and device recognition is hit and miss for programming or even battery charging.

    A 1 Star rating is a stretch.

    poor design for high 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

    I have has the same problem as everyone else. The prong bent. This 1/3 of the purchase price. If everyone is having the same problem I would expect that a more affordable solution would become available.

    I had this dock for about a week before it bent slightly. Even though I was able to pull it back into shape, it stopped working. I spent about an hour on the website (NOT easy to find a replacement) before finding this item in the store. I like my shuffle, but this is ridiculous.

    We used our dock two times and it snapped! We can't download anymore songs until we pay $30 more bucks. That's just thirty more dollars out-the-door. I bet the next one we get will be just as lame and pitiful.

    Shuffle dock, could be better!!!

    This dock is made very poorly. I've only had it since Apr. 07 and it's broke already. I really like my iPod shuffle but the dock needs some major inprovements. Plus, they need to come down on the price for a replacement, $30 is a little to much for something made this cheaply.

    Does any admin read this or something ? firstly I woud like to say that I own the iPOD shuffle second generation and its perfect. However the dock broke verrrrry fast so I needed to replace it I went in ALOT of stores in greece and I couldnt find the dock. I would like to say that 30dollars yes its alot but I dont mind to hand them over cuz the iPOD itself WTFrules. So is it possible to buy this somewhere in greece ?

    im glad to see im not the only one with dock problems. the shuffle itself works fine its just if you slightly bend the pointy part on the dock it breaks they should have came with a back up charging device and $30 please the shuffle itself is worth about that the charger should be free.
