3/28/2006 Staff wrote:A good bundle to charge my iPod 5G 30GB at my computer, home, and on the go.
Pros: * Great price! I paid over $35 for a similar product from a major retailer locally. From now on, I will check with Deal Extreme first before shopping for iPod accessories!* Free shipping is incredible for the price!* The cable has a USB plug for connectivity to your computer as well as the car and wall chargers.* The USB outputs on the car and wall chargers can be used for other products besides Apple iPods, iPhones, and Touches. * Did I mention the great price?* The white color is clean and matches the other Apple iPod accessories we have purchased.
Cons: * Cheap price means cheap quality. Flimsy cable, plug, and 12v car adapter.* The cable plug gets in the way of the phone plug on the Nano. * The kit I received had a faulty car adapter - light came on but it didn't charge any of our iPods.
Other Thoughts: Would like to have a better quality cable and add a couple of dollars to the price. (I didn't use one thousand characters, did I?)
Bottomline: Despite the car adapter not working, I still feel it was an incredible deal - even if I only got the cable and wall charger. In fact, I will be placing an order for a couple of more kits and hope that the car charger works next time. Considering the fact that shipping is included, this is a great value! Excuse me while I go do some more shopping! ;-)
Pros: + very inexpensive and works on ipod nano (first gen)+ love having the 3 parts for car, wall and computer+ no messy long cables+ PRICE
Cons: - the ipod connector is rather tight fit (first oen had to be modified). Not as smooth as apple usb connector- very cheap feeling
Other Thoughts: The first one I got didn't fit my ipod. The plug is badly built and a platic part was in the way to make it fit. I was able witha plyer to bend it back, but the fit was rather tight on the ipod, which is not a good thign as I didn't want to damage my ipod getting it in and out.DX saw my review on resellerratings.com and sent me a replacemetn right away (WHOA, talk about customer service). Second one fit without repair, but still tight and not a smooth fir like the apple one.The entire thing also feel cheaply made more so than the other 10+ items I got from DX) but work just fine. I don't use them that much, so I'm not sure about longevity...
Bottomline: can't complain too much for the price paid. Wish it was betetr built though, especially the connector part (where it matters the most).
Pros: Cheap as hell! Some companies import the same kit to Brazil and sell them over US$ 50. Complete with all we need. Automatic voltage selection on the AC plug. Packaging is decent enough.
Cons: The car charger didn´t work at all on my old iPod Mini. It made the iPod blink, so I disconnected it and didn´t use it again. Now I have a 80Gb Classic, but as my car stereo charges and controls this iPod (it didn´t work with the Mini as well), I don´t use and don´t miss it at all (I haven´t risked trying to charge the Classic with it). Anyway, not having to turn on the computer to charge my iPod makes the damn thing worth its price.
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: One of the best bargains I purchased on DX.
Pros: Not only is this item cheap (Price) but is it VERY useful!!! This is one of the best chargers here on deal extreme! I love how the charger plugs into the wall, car, and computer!!! It is a brilliant idea!!! Got this for my cousin and he loves it. This is a MUST for anyone that owns a ipod!
Cons: Not the best build quality, but will last if you treat it well. Other than that NONE at all!
Other Thoughts: Could come in different colors. Better build quality would be nice but you get what you pay for!
Bottomline: A must have for all ipod users.
