Unreliable January 9, 2009
S. Yang (Forest Hills, NY USA)
I've had many retractable cables in the past and I some to be great and some to be unreliable.

These, unfortunately, were in the latter category.

After about a minute or two of being connected, my iphone will be forced disconnected. It may have something to do with the thin wiring used to make it retractable.

Unfortunatley, this was so painful to try to use I eventually threw it out and purchased an OEM Apple usb connector. Not retractable, but 100% reliable.

From my experience with retractable cords, I would guess that some of these will work, some won't. I'm fairly certain a lot won't work out of the box, but for $1.88, the company knows no one will be pay the shipping for returns or exchanges.

My advice is not to buy this unless maybe you want to pick up six at once and hope that one works perfectly.

Not for charging December 24, 2008

This cable works for connecting my iPod to my computer but when I disconnect it later my battery is drained and I have to restart my iPod several times.

Cheap and works (for a while anyway) November 24, 2008
Michael Schell (www.schellsburg.com)
Cheap and probably a little flimsy (I've only had mine for a week), but it works fine on my iPhone 3G, and the price is right. Pick up a six-pack!

The cable is only 28 inches long when fully-extended, with the spool in the middle. And it's much thinner than most USB cables you've seen, being a 3mm by 1mm ribbon. It locks only when fully retracted or fully extended. As I said: flimsy. It wouldn't surprise me if its average useful life is a few weeks, but again, you can always buy a six-pack. Considering how often I need to charge my battery-eating iPhone, I keep the charger by my bed, and two of these USB cables attached to my home and office computers.

3G iPhone, works great! October 23, 2008
Ash (South Florida)
Bought two of these after my cat chewed through the Apple one.

Haven't had any problems with my 3G iPhone.

No complaints.

Highly recommend.

Good alternative for the money! April 8, 2008

It might not charge as well as the regular iphone charger(in my opinion anyway) and it stretches out about 2+ feet the most when full retracted; However, it is a good and cheap alternative to buy. I bought one for work and leave it there all the time. If I lose it, I wont cry about it. Just like the other reviewer, I suggest to buy more than one, so that you can have one everywhere you go. The cord is retracted, so in a closed position, its very small and truly portable and does the job.
