My original iPhone cord started coming apart at the connector after 6 months of use, and charging started becoming sporadic. I decided to give this a shot, since it was under $2 shipped.
When it arrived, the version I received looked very similar to the official iPhone cable, which was slightly disappointing as I had anticipated the thicker, more rugged version pictured and described (with reinforced connectors). However, I plugged it in, and was pleasantly surprised that not only did it charge, but it performed data sync as well on my 3GS iPhone.
Overall, I’m happy it works as intended, but had to give it 4 stars as it wasn’t the tougher version pictured. My guess is that it’s a grab bag of what you get based on the large list of suppliers, so don’t be surprised if it’s not exactly as you’re expecting.
At $2, it’s still better than buying the official $19 Apple version, and seems to have all the same functionality.
EDIT: It looks like they are rotating different images of cords through the photo boxes. If you don’t get the item exactly as pictured, that could be why.

I just received this cable today. While this cable works great at transferring data/music, it does not charge my iPod. I connect directly to the USB ports on my MacBook Pro. I also tried connecting to the USB ports on a PC, still no-go.

The cable was here fast and though the iphone connector is larger than the original cable that came with the phone; mostly due to a catch and release mechanism to secure the adapter to the phone. The cable itself is attached to the adapter end in a far more secure looking method, and I have great confidence in its durability. The original cable over a six month period wore out at the joint where the cable met the adapter to the point of splitting open and revealing the wires within. I dont expect this cable to do that, and if it does I’m sure it won’t be after only a lousy 6 months. Can’t beat the price either – !!

I bought two of these, and they worked great. It is the same length and looks almost identical to my old frayed apple cable that came with my iphone 3gs. The connector plugged in a little tight at first but it loosened up with time and use. The price was dirt cheap and shipping was free when I bought these. Don’t pay full price for an apple branded cable, this is a no brainer…. get this instead.

I ordered two of these cables to replace the original that came with my iPhone 3G. I am very impressed by their quality and performance. I particularly recommend these cables to those with iPhones that are enclosed in an Otterbox. The fit is perfect.
