Deal of the year
This review is from: White Sync & Charge USB Cable for Apple iPhone 3G / Apple iPhone 3GS (Wireless Phone Accessory)
within days of a less than favorable review of this $.01 iPhone sync & charge cable, I received a call from the seller to inquire about the nature of my complaint. On my part, it was a minor inconvenience that the cable would sync but not charge. For a penny, I thought I got more than my moneys worth. He, however was dedicate to total customer satisfaction and I received a new cable, at no additional cost within 3 days.
That is Customer Service!

You Get What You Pay For
This review is from: White Sync & Charge USB Cable for Apple iPhone 3G / Apple iPhone 3GS (Wireless Phone Accessory)
When my dog chewed through my iPhone adapter, I didn't want to spend $19 in the Apple store for a replacement. I considered replacing the dog, but instead I decided to find a cheap, compatible adapter. I found this one and I thought, "Well, if it doesn't work, I'm only out a couple bucks." I bought two of them, and the disadvantages were apparent right from the beginning.
First, as a previous reviewer mentioned, the business end of the cable is squared, not rounded. This wasn't a problem with my case, but it would be with others. Second, the construction and materials used leave a lot to be desired. There is no doubt when you look at this product that it is a cheap dollar store version, and that doesn't inspire a lot of confidence in it. Finally, my phone would not sync with iTunes. Considering iPhone users need to sync their phones to get crucial updates, that is a big problem. However, the cord did charge my phone, so it wasn't a complete loss. Or so I thought.
Within a week, through normal use, I broke the iPhone connector end on my cord. The plastic case came apart, and a few of the components fell out into my hand. The rest I had to carefully remove from inside the port on my phone. After a little tinkering, I was able to put the cable's connector back together, but it didn't fasten tightly. I remedied this by wrapping two small hair elastics tightly around it. The second cord lasted a few weeks longer, only falling apart recently. I was unable to repair the second. But hey, when held together with duct tape, chewing gum, and rubber bands, I still had one cord that charged my phone! Until just now.
The rigged up, cheap, piece of you-know-what cord decided about an hour ago to stop charging my phone completely. I don't know why. The components in the rubber-banded end are still secure, the connection is good, and it's plugged into a reliable power source. It occurred to me that though I saved a few dollars, I paid for it in hassles. Don't waste your money on this inferior product. Inferior is not even a strong enough word for what this product is; I don't think there's a word in the dictionary that quite captures the essence of crap that is this cord.

Cheap is the word
The sync cords that I purchased was cheap, but did not fit into the iPhone charging slot. It is obvious that it was manufatured by Apple, but even Apple has mismatched and... by MykMyk

Works great!
The cables work great with my 2nd generation iPad and our iPhone 3GS's. Cord looks just like the one our Apple products have come with. by Jamie Gonzalez
Great!
I was a bit worried at first because the price seemed too good to be true. The moment it came in the mail I tested it out and it works perfect! by Pecoraro
Cheap and awesome
These were great and you can't beat the price. I got them for 1 dollar apiece. The only thing that was not as great is that it didn't include the charger to go with. by Sean Ryan
Good for the money
I tugged a bit hard on the cable and the end popped off, not quite as tough as the factory apple cable but was great til i pulled it. by WhiteTiger
Works (sometimes?)
First of all, this is not an OEM iphone charger as is pictured. Mine doesn't even look like some of the other photos posted, but has no markings on the USB end at all. by soccersr56

This was super useful. Came in very handy. A much cheaper alternative to buying at AT&T retail store and works just as good. by NormaB822 |
