As soon as I got it, I knew something about it was different: I compared it to a cable that came with the iPod, and noticed the following differences:
- Every logo printed on the cable is different: different alignments, different thicknesses
- I know Apple cables are packaged in a very distinct coiled rectangular shape, this one was loosely coiled in a circle
- The plastic itself feels very cheap: joins are not aligned properly, parts overlap and stick out where they shouldn’t, and it is not cut precisely on some edges.

Unfortunately, I was sent a faulty fake (confirmed when I took the item into an Apple store) that jammed in my ipod. Will have to pay to get the faulty item removed. If you want the real thing, then I would say avoid buying this item.

This cable is as described. Original, works fine. So good in fact I’ve ordered another one. Sold and delivered for half the price of the same cable on the O2 and carphone warehouse sites. Can’t complain.
I must also say I did buy a cheap copy cable first, from a difference seller, but this didn’t work and am now in the process of trying to return that cable.. Don’t waste your money on cheap copies and buy this original cable THAT WORKS!
Highly recommend this cable. I use it on my 3G iphone and my ipod video.

This is not the current iphone cable, as it’s a little larger at the end, but still a great product at the price.
Delivery was also fast.

Works ok but it is a very rough fit into my iPhone 3GS. It has to be pushed quite hard in and I am worried about damaging the phone. Also, the wire on mine comes out of the plug at a rather crazy angle – doesn’t affect it working but makes it look a bit amateur
