Belkin Usb Power Adapter for Apple Ipod, Iphone and Ipad

After my original Apple charging and data cable mysteriously disappeared without a trace last week, I was forced to get a new cable for my iPhone4.I had been using a cable from my iPod Touch 3 as a temporary solution. Everything worked perfectly, both charging the battery and syncing via iTunes. Unfortunately, the power adapter is missing, as Apple doesn’t include one with the iPod touch. Only the USB cable for connecting to a computer is included.

Power Up the Apple Way with Belkin

First, I wandered into a nearby Apple Store and was almost completely lost in my belief: The power adapter, although nicely packaged in a small plastic box. That didn’t even include the charging and sync cable.

Somewhat annoyed, I then started looking online. At my trusted mail-order company, I was able to read some great things about this type of original accessory. This wasn’t what it was: material disguised as Apple, sold as junk.

One Adapter, Endless Apple Energy

Since I’m using a Belkin bumper, I went straight to their website and, lo and behold, Belkin also offers other accessories for the iPhone, iPod, and iPad. I found the item F8Z630cw04 there. The online retailer had two reviews. One wrote that it works with the iPhone 4, and another had the exact opposite experience. I decided to order the device, and it arrived in the mail yesterday.

Conclusion:

The device works flawlessly with both my iPod Touch 3 and iPhone 4. It charges and syncs seamlessly. Charging is just as fast as with the original. I highly recommend this charger. While the price may not be exactly a bargain, it feels very solid ,the cable gauge is probably almost twice as thick as the Apple cable.
