 Is NOT the cable pictured!Jun 25, 2009
By Deni Tako
The cable that is shipped is NOT the iPhone 3G cable in the image. It is an older version that is designed for iPods not iPhones. This means that it does not work with all forms of USB charging like the smaller one pictured that is designed for the iPhone 3G.
Mine works when connected to a computer, but not to a powered USB hub or power supply - this happens with cables designed for iPods and the 2G iPhones & not specifically for the iPhone 3G.
With the cheap cable cost but high shipping & handling, there is no point in pursuing a refund or other recourse.
Get this cable if you are looking for a cable for an iPod or 2G iPhone, but not for the 3G or 3GS.

HorrendousJul 20, 2009
By ts-x
These cables are horrendous. So bad that I've been driven to write my first Amazon review. They are much shorter then then the OEM cable, do not consistently charge my iPhone 3G and have resulted in numerous sync errors (unplayable and/or broken songs). Purchased two cables and have the same random issues with both. Switching back to the OEM cable eliminated all charging/sync problems. Don't waste your money.

 Make certain you get an actuall Apple OEM cordAug 23, 2009
By Obiburner
After being burnt a number of times, on Apple accessories, I've learned to read the description carefully, especially under the used/new section.
Many sellers are selling after market knock offs advertised as "Apple replacement" "Apple OEM compatible with the following models" which they list the different models it should work with.
My advice, stay away from these products, especially since changes have been made to the Ipod and Iphone connector, dropping support for the firewire & usb models to usb only. The change made causes the earlier models, when plugged in, will usually place a message on the screen telling you it's not compatible. With others, the message may not come up, which could cause damage to your unit.
I recommend always contacting the seller to make certain it is a genuine Apple made product, and it's compatible with the later models.
With that said, the unit I received was an original Apple and works as advertised and expected. The seller did a fine job getting it to me in a reasonable time frame and at a good price. I have a number of Macs & Ipod units, and like having a cord available at each location. I also lose cables, or forget to bring one with me when I go the office, or some place where I spend a lot of time. If you have an Iphone, you know what a power hog it is, so plugging it into an available USB port any where you get the opportunity, you'll take.
Just be careful when ordering so you get the real deal.

How Hard Should This Be?!Mar 01, 2010
By JR Cash
How difficult should it be to create a knockoff USB cable for an Apple product?
If you're buying this to charge an iPhone with an OtterBox case, prepare to make some, ah, modifications, shall we say. The goes-in-the-phone end is too large to fit, and the plastic sides must be (don't laugh) shaved down slightly to get by the OtterBox.
Alright, you're sitting there with a charging phone and a small pile of white plastic shavings on your desk. All well and good.
If you're me, however, you only have about 4-6 weeks before the cord pulls out of the charging end.
What a piece. Of. Yonk.
By gosh, I demand a cheap, quality knockoff so I don't have to send Steve Jobs $40 for a stinking 35 cent USB cord! Now appease me, shady Taiwanese plastics company! NOW!

Grossly misrepresentedMay 26, 2010
By L. Robinson
The item shipped was not the item pictured. The item shipped is a cheap knockoff. It has a chintzy locking tab (OEM has no tab) that would not release and I had to rip the cord out of my phone to get it out. Buyer beware.
