Had to send first one back. October 27, 2009 Alvin Davis After sending back the first USB Hot Sync Cradle Desktop Charger for the Iphone because it did not work, the second one arrived and did what it is supposed to do.
Not bad and relatively inexpensive.

Great charger October 17, 2009 C. Elser (Kansas City, MO USA) The charger works well. It doesn't take up a lot of space and the iPhone fits into it nicely.
No frills, but does what it is supposed to - sortof October 14, 2009 Mitch B. (Tri-State Area) Honestly, for 12 bucks you really can't expect more than this...but a few things about this product make me nuts, and make it feel very much like the cheap knock-off accessory that it likely is:
1. The iphone does not sit all the way down in the cradle. It slides onto the dock connector and then there is about 1/8 of an inch space between the top of the dock and the phone. It may not sound like a big deal, but it gives the overall feel a "cheapness" to it that I did not like. Fortunately the cradle has sides that hold the device in place, or this would be a MAJOR issue.
2. The dock itself is slightly off-kilter...almost warped, so it won't sit completely flat. Again, not a huge deal, just something worth pointing out (it was true of 2 units I was sent as the first was defective)
3. If you use any kind of case, from the smallest silicon skin right up to otterboxes and the like, don't bother - you'll have to peel the case off every time you want to use it. For those that keep their phones "naked", it works fine.
As mentioned above, I got a defective unit on first go. The company that shipped it VERY quickly shipped a replacement and didn't even ask for the original back. The customer service was truly phenomenal. The unit itself does what it is supposed to do, but understand that you are only paying 12 bucks in a product category that can get up to 50 bucks easily, for a reason. It's a cheapie unit, likely manufactured overseas from very cheap labor/parts. I would recommend the product as a second dock - something you can either travel with or leave in an office, but I wouldn't suggest it for every day use: I seriously question how long the "dock" piece will stay in place.
So yeah - does what it's supposed to do, works fine, but there's certainly better out there if you don't mind tossing an extra 10 bucks or so into it.
iPhone Cradle Charger September 16, 2009 P. Mroz Works great even for my iPod. Received as promised. Took just a few days.
Simpe, great September 12, 2009 S. Polomoshnov (Fairfax, VA) Purchased two of these cradles, one for work, one for home. Neither has had any problems at all. Good product, good price. Don't overpay trying to buy Apple-branded stuff.
