Purchased from an Apple store, which was my first mistake. Nevertheless, though Marware Travel Dock charged my 2nd gen ipod shuffle fine for a while, it easily broke while I carried it in my backpack. I can imagine the same scenario if either inserted a bit carelessly into the USB port or having something bump into it while inserted. The insertion "prong" was damaged and became loose, rendering it useless. My computer failed to recognize the ipod. Therefore, even at relatively inexpensive $15, it's still over-priced ($30+tax for the priviledge of buying it from the Apple store). There are somewhat comparable and smaller models for less than $3 from Amazon - and that includes shipping.

It works perfectly fine. Charges my shuffle and allows me to transfer music. Certainly cheaper than anything Apple offers, and it's very tiny, which I like. However, you can find similar items for next to nothing - I bought another charger (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000QHOB4S/ref=ox_ya_oh_product) for $[...] and some change, and it worked just as well.
Overall, I'm still happy I didn't have to fork out $[...] to Apple.

Apple should consider using this design for the dock included with the Shuffle. It is great for use with a labtop

Great 'hidden' blue light indicator to let you know when it's connected and charging. Very small and convenient.

This little dock has the elegant design that should have come from Apple. It works exactly as advertised. Be aware that it takes some space and is awkward to use with USB hubs that have vertical ports. I use my dock on the keyboard ports on an iMac.
