Wow!.......2007-12-15
I lost my origonal charger and needed a cheap replacement. Well, thanks to BargainCell, I got it for one penny (plus $4.98 S&H). So, $4.99 total was better than I could expect. So, take the advice from the other users' reviews and purchase this product while it is still cheap!
Usb Adapter.......2007-11-25
The very best. I purchased this and I saw it in the stores as a combo for $59.00. This is a real steal. A must buy for all iPod lovers.
USB adapter for the iPod Shuffle - Should have been standard.......2007-11-17
The USB Adapter for the iPod Shuffle fills a product need created by Apple. The reality is this adapter should have been included with the product instead of the mini-doc. Or, a standard USB port connection should have been used. Either way, this is a handy accessory for your iPod shuffle, and it works with both 2nd and 3rd generation models.
Pros
This unit is not only smaller than the Apple shuffle dock, it's also cheaper.
Cons
Clearly this is a low end accessory. Failure rates are inevitable, so at these prices it pays to buy a few to have a backup. Additionally, secondary USB ports and USB hubs may not work with this one, so you have to use a main port.
This unit is worth a try. I feel like you can do a little better on price, so shop around. If you have the Shuffle, though, it pays to get some version of this adapter.
Enjoy!!!
Nice, Compact Little Piece of Kit.......2007-11-12
Yes, the original iPod Shuffle charger has got a much better design to it, the way the Shuffle fits snugly inside that little lip and plugs in at the same time, the way the entire dinky assembly stands up on the table like some defiant little piece of Jobsian sculpture. This doodad hasn't really got that kind of evocative power, but then again, that's not what it's about. This is a very simple and straightforward piece of gear; stick one end in the USB and the other in your Shuffle, and you've got power, baby. And it works just fine.
It does seem to me that this device charged the Shuffle just a little bit faster than the factory rig does. No, I didn't time it; I've got no way to test this scientifically, so can't offer hard data, graphs or flow charts.
All, in all, this is a nice little piece of kit. No wires to tangle or tie, which is the single best feature for me. It's one simple little piece, and it goes in your pocket just like pocket change. Take it to work, wherever, and in no time you're charging your Shuffle. And, the price for this strikes as a good value. I recommend it.

Superior to the Original Apple Equipment.......2007-12-23
I was always a bit suspicious of the quality or the original dock that Apple includes with the Shuffle. Its cheaply made and I've heard stories of bent clips on the Shuffle that makes docking it impossible, as it will no longer fit in the dock. This one doesn't have any of the liabilities that the original has. Its better constructed and the input jack plugs directly into the headphone slot w/o need for a form fitting dock as with the original. Best of all, is the price. While the substandard Apple replacement is $29 plus shipping, this one shipped is around $5. The only issue I have with this transaction is that I wish I would have bought two, so I can have a backup.
USB adapter for the iPod Shuffle - Nice backup for less.......2007-11-17
The USB Adapter for the iPod Shuffle fills a product need created by Apple. The reality is a similar adapter should have been included with the Shuffle instead of the mini-doc. Or, a standard USB port connection should have been used. Either way, this is a handy accessory for your iPod shuffle, and it works with both 2nd and 3rd generation models.
Pros
This unit is not only smaller than the Apple shuffle dock, it's also cheaper. It's very convenient to have as a backup. Price wise this adapter tends to be the best at less than $0.50.
Cons
Clearly this is a low end accessory. Failure rates are inevitable, so at these prices it pays to buy a few to have a backup. Additionally, secondary USB ports and USB hubs may not work with this one, so you have to use a main port.
This unit is worth a try. If you have the Shuffle, though, it pays to get some version of this adapter.

Good For the Price but.............2007-11-14
Good for the price of 5 $ including shipping. Delivery exceptionally fast. Arrived in 3 days. Only problem is that it fits a bit loose into the USB port of my new laptop. Had to press 2-3 times to make sure contact is right.
Worked fine with iTunes software for Windows Vista machine. Charging and data transfer pretty fast.
Great replacement for your dock!.......2007-06-05
was rather surprised when the dock that came with my iPod shuffle broke on me. Even more surprised when I saw that Apple wanted $29.95 to replace it. Heck, that's almost half of what the Shuffle cost to begin with. And if the first one broke so easy I don't want to take a chance.
So I surfed around and saw this handy dandy thing. I got it pretty quick and it works like a charm! And what's better, you can carry this around with you much easier than the Apple dock and it's not going to die on me.
Great product!

Why does apple's cable cost so much more?.......2007-12-25
I bought this months ago after the inevitable failure of the original dock that came with my shuffle. It worked pretty well with my laptop (xp pro). However, it did very rarely have an issue where it repeatedly disconnected and reconnected, once causing my laptop to crash. You just have to be careful about where it is and jostling the computer or placing papers on top of the incipiobud.
When I tried syncing to my desktop at home (xp) instead this morning, I encountered the little issue about using it with front ports. Since it wasn't working, I went and bought a DLO PowerBug cable thinking I could keep the wall plug at work and charge it there and all would be right with the world. DISASTER! Either iTunes would simply fail to recognize the shuffle or I would get a message about the iPod being corrupted. When I tried to restore using either the powerbug cable or the incipio bud (itunes or separate retore utility), I kept getting that 1418 error message and all the data on the shuffle got killed. Someone on a board had the solution. I went back to the incipiobud and tried to restore using the back usb ports. Success! You simply may not be able to use front usb ports with it. Plug it into the back. Not a big deal for me since my computer hangs from a lazy susan type thing, but obnoxious enough to take a star away. So four stars because it works just fine on the back ports with all the other devices still plugged in and was about 1/10 the cost of the DLO evil death cable I'll be returning as soon as the store opens after Christmas.
It works, but . . . .......2007-12-04
I bought this to replace my broken shuffle dock, and while it does charge and sync the ipod, it doesn't work for me.
.
First: it's insanely small. I had a horrible time keeping track of it in my computer bag and ultimately lost it completely.
Second: the design makes me nervous. The first gen shuffles also plugged directly into the usb port -- I lost mine when someone small snapped it right off. I'm lucky it didn't wreck my usb port. This charger also plugs straight into the usb port, making me nervous for both the shuffle and my port.
Third: because it does stick directly out from the usb plug, you *really* have to have your computer on a flat surface with a few inches of clearance in order to sync your shuffle -- you can't leave your laptop and shuffle sitting on the the couch (or any other soft surface) without putting undue pressure on your usb port.
So, if you have a stand alone work station with easy usb port access and are good at keeping track of small dongles, then this would probably work well for you. If you wander around with a laptop or have hard to reach usb ports, you'll probably prefer the flexibility of a cable.

Has Its Tricks & Treats.......2007-10-14
The IncipioBud USB dock for the Ipod shuffle is great for someone who wants to be organized & prepared w/o having to carry around a bunch of stuff like a Nomad. Only flaw is I notice on my PC, if I attempt to attach my other USB's or flashdrive that it interferes with this device working/reading properly. So to avoid this, just be sure when you have it docked, all you're wanting to do while it is, is play with your itunes/ipod. Otherwise, it's a great addition, compact & handy CHEAP ($$).
Much more convenient than the docking station.......2007-10-13
This device will make your day easier since you will no longer have to bring the docking station everywhere. This one is much smaller and by design is not that exposed to breaking the 'pin' or what it is called. A good and cheap investment.
