I wish I had read the reviews of this product before buying, I assumed it would be just a basic ipod charger that would charge my ipod rather than having to use the computer.
It is a cheap foreign unearthed plug into a 3pin (uk) plug head so the product is in 2pieces.
It is loose, dangerous (as is unearthed) and it simply did not work! DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!

HAD TO BUY A CHARGER FOR MY IPOD TOUCH, AS THE CHARGER THAT CAME WITH IT, REQUIRED ME TO CHARGE MY I THOUCH ONLY WHEN CONNECTED TO A PC OR LAPTOP. I FELT THAT WAS RUBBISH, CANT BE CARRING THE LAPTOP EVERYWHERE WHEN I DONT NEED TO. THIS IS VERY HANDY. ALSO DOESNT TAKE HOURS TO CHARGE UP COMPARED TO THE CHARGER I PREVIOUSLY HAD

I bought this for my ipod 5th gen a while back. I have since expanded my collection of ipods to a nano 3rd gen, 6th gen classic and 2nd gen ipod touch.
It charges all of them apart from the touch which displays an error when you plug it in. Apart from that it works without a hitch.
The model I got was a 3 pin UK adapter.

I have an ipod nano. This power input plug is too wide to allow the headphone socket to be used at the same time. In my view this is a MAJOR design flaw. The manufacturer may disagree because in strict terms it does what it describes. The choice is yours!

Im was pretty concerned reading other reviews that this was going to be a 2 pin plug and will destroy plug. NOT AT ALL. this was a UK version and had no problems with it. charger does the job without any worries.

I agree with the reviews above - theyve sent me two now, the first one fused as soon as I plugged it in and the second one just doesnt work. Waste of money!

This was an excellent, simple, piece of equipment for charging my iPod direct from the electric rather than hanging around waiting for the computer to do it. No extra bits and pieces, but then I didnt need them.

I bought this product thinking the bad reviews were just over exagerated, the first time i plugged it in at work it blew the fuse on the plug socket, so I plugged it in at home and within 2 seconds it blew up. The back burst open exposing wires and black smoked poured out of it. the white plug was completely blackened. I had to switch the fuse box off so i could unplug it.
extremely dangerous and these should not be for sale.
If this happened when my i-pod was plugged in (thankfully it wasnt) that would be ruined as well.
If a child was around it could have been lethal.
Pay the money and get a decent one.

I bought this because it was on Amazon Prime and I needed a charger for my iPhone urgently. When it arrived it just didnt work. The red light goes on on the plug, but the power indicator on the iPhone just flashes and it does not charge. Do not buy it for an iPhone.

Great for when you cant get to a computer and need to charge your ipod! :D Took it with me on holiday, so that I could listen to my ipod on the plane there and back, and it charged no problem.

Warning! This product quite simply DOES NOT WORK ABROAD. If you are buying this for the UK, go ahead. It does appear to work in the UK but coupled with a travel adaptor, it will not work. I went on my holidays to the US with this device and regretted it afterwards.

Dont buy this charger, its not a 3 pin uk model its a crappy chinese knock-off with no earth wire installed. I plugged it in and went for a shower, the power went off and this useless charger had nearly burnt my house down. I repeat DONT BUY IT!! Go for the freestyle 3 pin or freelogix 3 pin uk models.
