Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for use with the iPod Shuffle 2G, the Apple MA694G/A Dock provides quick connectivity to computers without an easily accessible USB 2.0 port. Essentially an USB cable with an integrated dock, the MA694G/A is the ideal spare or replacement docking station for your second-generation iPod Shuffle because it's the same model that comes with the Shuffle 2G. Additionally, it saves you the hassle of reaching behind your computer to plug in your iPod nano, and makes it a snap to charge and sync with a computer or power adapter.

This is the third or fourth dock we have purchased in less than a year. They are not built very sturdy at all, and the pin coming up gets bent or broken easily. The shuffle is nice, though.

Not the same quality as the original by a long shot. Do not like the fact that the plastic is colored blue - that was not in the description. It works though, and is a less expensive alternative to the original.

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.

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!
