Customer Reviews
I needed several of these, and they were cheap enough that I bought 5. I thoroughly tested all of them, and all 5 had the same issues:
1) For 3 devices (8GB iPod Touch 2nd generation, iPhone 3Gs, and an iPhone 4), it would not charge at all. A warning was issued on the screen: "Charging is not supported with this accessory." Once the message was dismissed, no charging occurred.
2) For 2 other iPhone 4s, no such warning appeared, but the phone behaved VERY erratically. The touchscreen was not behaving correctly, and apps were malfunctioning and performing actions unlike what I was trying to make them do (repeating text, as though I was holding down a key on a real keyboard; backspacing every time I hit "Send" on a text; walking in one direction only while non-stop firing in one of my games). This suggested to me the voltage might actually be WRONG, which is, of course, not good.
I threw them away. This product was 0-for-5 for me. Well, 5 adapters on 5 different products is 0-for-25, maybe? Nonetheless, I can not advise against it strongly enough.
This charger costs an astounding $30 if you buy it from the Apple web store! Maybe Apple dips it in gold or something, but there's no reason to pay $30 for it when you can get it for about $5, is there?
After I got this, I looked it over very carefully, comparing it to one a friend got from Apple. This is either the real deal, or it's the best knock-off ever made. It has the same markings and numbers as the original.
Bottom line: It works, and it's much, MUCH cheaper than it is from Apple. If you want a charger, buy this one.
--------------------------
Update 2/08/2012: Obviously, a large number of reviewers have had very different experiences with their chargers than I've had with mine. This may be the reason: When I bought my charger, there was only one supplier. Now, there are several. My assumption is that the supplier I bought from (and sorry, but I can't remember the name) was selling the real deal, but some of the current suppliers are indeed selling inferior knockoffs. I based my review on my personal experience at that time.
I guess there's an additional bottom line: Buyer beware.
