Customer Reviews

Does the job but...
$30 for this "dock"??? PLEASE. That's almost half the price of the shuffle, which is packaged with the same product!!! 2 stars for a good product with a ridiculously bloated pricetag.

Apple iPod Shuffle Dock - Works but Overpriced
The replacement dock provided by Apple for the Shuffle is as overpriced as the Shuffle is. This product does work, but there are alternatives ranging from 40 cents to $5 that will do the same job.

This fills a product need created by Apple. If this was made better the Docks wouldn't break so easily. Normal USB adapters should have been included with the product instead of the mini-doc, or at least backup cables. A standard USB port connection could also have been used.

Check out the alternatives which are much more reasonably priced.

IncipioBud USB adapter for the 2 Gen Apple iPod Shuffle

Having a backup dock or adapter is a must for your iPod shuffle. It just doesn't make sense to buy this replacement from Apple.

Good luck!

Standard Apple Design...
Sleek and what you would except from Apple, but watch out cause these things break easy. Very easy to snap off the connector and the base is somewhat awkward to stand alone on your desk when the iPod is not in the base. I agree it is a little bit pricy for 30 bucks, especially when you paid 79 for the entire iPod/Base combo.
