I ordered this item expecting to receive a charger that folded flat, but what I received was a charger that does not fold at all - not too useful at all, and VERY DECEPTIVE advertising.

i bought this item for a friend who did not own a computer but needed a way to keep her ipod charged. very reasonbly price for a product that i was thinking should have been manufactured 10 years ago. highly recommend

This charger fried 2 mp3 players, both less than 4 weeks old. A new Ipod touch stopped powering up after the first charge using this item. A cheaper mp3 player died after about a week of use. It worked for a few charges, then after plugging it in one day, I noticed the charging light on the player did not come on and it was extremely hot.

I bought this charger for my 3rd generation iPod nano. After reading the reviews I was a little scared that it would somehow ruin my expensive gadget. I plugged it in and when it didn't explode, I let out a sigh of relief and let it charge. It seemed to go quicker than when I use my computer for charging (about 2hrs I think). You can continue using the iPod while it is charging, no problems. This product DOES work well, it will NOT ruin your iPod. Another thing I want to address is the concern of some reviewers that there is no indicator light that signifies a full battery. Your iPod display will show a full battery when it is full, so that shouldn't be an issue. Don't pay $30 for something you can get for less than $5 (including shipping I paid $4.33). Although it is very irritating that Apple charges $150+ for these iPods and then tax you even more for the stupid wall charger.

This item is very cheap, and that is why I purchased it. But after several uses, the contact prongs pulled out and got stuck in the electrical outlet. So, I purchased a replacement. Guess what? Same result. The old saying, you get what you pay for, reigns true here. I recommend ordering a better, more expensive model. Or, order a handful of these because they break so often.
