Will Not Work with Otterbox Itouch CaseJuly 30, 2010 Merle Anne Kemp(Hiddenite, NC United States) The Emerge Tech Retractable Ipod Cable seems to be a good product for the money, and works as promised.
BUT...if you have your Iphone or Ipod Touch encased in an Otterbox case, the cable is to wide to insert into the dock port.
Oh well.
Does not work with iphone 3gsJune 21, 2010 Bradely Pitts(UT) Does not work with the iPhone 3GS. I bought 4 after reading good reviews, and I am upset that they would advertise that it would work.
When I connect my phone and computer with the USB cord, I get a message that says: "This device is not supported," and it won't charge or sync. If I unplug it several times I can force it to charge my phone, but when I think about it I probably shouldn't do that anymore since the cord is clearly not supported (safe) for iPhone usage.
The retractable cord works well. But it's pretty short--about the length of a normal USB cord or less (fully extended length is 32 inches).
For $1, it's about what you'd expect if you bought an iPhone cord from the dollar store down the street.
Works Fine for iPhones and iPadsMay 20, 2010 R. Rodriguez(West Palm Beach, FL) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I purchased two of these cables after my last remaining Apple cable that I was using to charge my iPad was chewed to pieces. I was a bit hesitant since the iPad has higher voltage requirements to charge, but decided that the low price outweighed the risk.
I'm happy to say that this cord does indeed charge both my iPhone 3GS and my iPad. I noticed that it did take a bit longer to charge the iPad and the cord got a bit warm at the USB end, but it got the job done. No issues with syncing my iPhone with iTunes.
I would definitely recommend this cable for anyone looking for a cheap replacement to the official Apple cable, which has the same functionality with a much larger price tag. No issues with the seller and relatively quick shipping times.
iPhone or iPod Touch in a case? You probably shouldn't buy this.May 3, 2010 C. E. Rodgers(Indiana) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
I just received this item today. While it does work well, for now, it does NOT attach to my iPhone while it's in my Otterbox case. The end that connects to your iPhone or iPod is wider and thicker than the factory standard one your iPhone/iPod ships with. I don't care how cheap it is, it's poorly designed, considering the substantial percentage of people who keep their iPhones and iPods in cases to prevent damage. Also, the holes the cable is fed through on each side are larger than need be, allowing for the cable to easily twist and potentially tangle during retraction. So, 2 stars, and it's only 2 because it actually functions upon delivery.
I keep buying them.March 12, 2010 berlins7 I think we've bought 6 so far. They are so convenient, I keep adding them to more places.
