4 Stars saves money
bought this for my daughter she can be clumsy at times and this product saved me from buying her another sansa.

4 Stars Does the job, and can you beat the price?
It definitely protects the Fuze, and can’t be beat for the price. However, it is a pain trying to figure out how to put the beltclip on. **You have to unscrew the white thing and put it through the hole.** Also, the white beltclip does look wrong with the black case. But did I mention the price?? You can’t beat $0.13!

5 Stars Good Cheap Case
Does what it’s supposed to, but needs instructions. I finally discovered that the white disk comes apart (by unscrewing), so you can fasten it through the little round hole in the case without stretching (and possibly tearing) the case. Fits well and should offer some degree of protection without much bulk.

5 Stars MP3 player and more
This was a gift to my son. He’s very happy with it. I like it because it requires no special software and is so easy to use. In addition to MP3, the ability to use is as a thumb drive is great. My son also likes the FM capability it has.

4 Stars Good, esp. for the price
The case is very nice. I got it today, and it seems quite durable. Like others said, it is a little tricky to figure out how to use the belt clip. I don’t think that I will use the belt clip though, I’ll stick to the arm band, which seems to work well on the short run I took today.

Only problem is that reaching on/hold button is a little hard.

But for the price, you can’t complain.

2 Stars Can’t listen at the same time
Bought for a great price. Plugged into Ford Focus and then into Sansa FUZE, but music stopped and only heard buzzing noise through speakers. Good for when you don’t need to actually LISTEN to the music, but I would stick to charging it at home before you leave. Red indicator light on product, and batter-charge icon appears on mp3 player so you know when it’s done charging. Emergency-only type of product here.

1 Star Stopped working
Worked for a few weeks then stopped for no reason. Does not contain fuse. NOTE: Buzzing sound through car speakers while being charged. Buzzing noise does not occur when using headphones while charging; only when hooked to head unit. Must be effect of vehicle grounding signal being amplified through stereo. One way to avoid this is to use a Cig Lighter DC/AC inverter and the A/C charger for the Sansa.

5 Stars it does the work
I did have-it in a kit with a SD sansa and almost free, or was-it?… It’s working and it’s a good quality construction. What can you ast-more?

2 Stars Charger works but not happy
I got this charger to keep my sansa charged while riding my Goldwing. When ever I plug the charger into the sansa and try to play music across the onboard aux input I get a terrible eletical noise. Unplug the charger and it goes away. The charger will charge the Sansa just not happy I can’t charge and listen at the same time.

3 Stars It charges but…
I wish it plugged into the gadget that plays the MP3 player through my car speakers. I have to recharge without listening.

4 Stars Works great with the iphone 3g
This is a great accessory for those who have purchased pre-iphone 3g car accessories. I use this with Griffin FM transmitter. there seems to be a little more interference than using an iphone 3g approved device. I haven’t tried the accessory while airplane mode is turned on, so this may be a factor.

4 Stars It served its purpose
Way bigger than it needs to be, although i dont think its meant to be used in a dock, just a regular car charger cord. However, it did exactly what it is supposed to do.

5 Stars Ipod charging solution
Great solution for charging your newer Ipod on older Ipod adaptors like, Eclipse IPC-106 iPod

5 Stars iLive IBCD2817
I had this Product before I purchased from Amazon. I liked This is really good buy compare to Costly Speakers for I Pod

4 Stars Works for me!
I am not a music geek. I wanted something easy to use. I was looking for something that would allow me to share my music with others or to play the music out loud as I do things around the house without having to constantly wear earbuds. My husband and I also like listening to sermons from our world-wide ministry. These sermons are available via MP3s from our church website and I wanted to be able to listen to those with my DH. The music, the podcasts, and the audio church messages all play well on the iLive boombox. We’ve used the radio and cd player with good results too. The remote control is just fine. The ipod docking station was the biggest reason I bought this and it is as expected, maybe even a little better than expected.

We are not audiophiles but we don’t like tinny or scratchy or cheaply made things. We didn’t have to worry about any of that with the iLive portable boombox. If you are looking for something inexpensive, effective, and easy to use, I would recommend this product.

2 Stars Static noise at low volumes
Perhaps this boombox is alright if you are only playing at “boom” volume levels, but for quieter moments you can hear annoying static interference through the speakers. Poorly designed circuitry I’d say — perhaps poor wiring insulation or some form of feedback. Tried both my iTouch and my kid’s Nano with similar disappointing results.

1 Star Junk
Junk would not recommend this product to anyone, Luck would have it I was able to get a complete refund less the shipping.

5 Stars Excellent radio and iPod dock for the office desk.
I bought this one as a sound system for an office desk and it is excellent for the purpose. Doesn’t take up to much space, good sound quality, and an excellent value for money. There are better sound systems, but they’re either too big or too expensive to leave in an office.

3 Stars Great Sound Quality but Crackels very soon
I purchased this product back in April when i ordered a new 120GB Zune off Amazon… Upon recieving both products I was suprised to hear how good the sound quality was - near cassette adapter quality and nothing like any of the other FM Tuners I’ve used in the past…. The unit kept the station even when it was unplugged, the light was convenient and it was strong enough of a signal that i didn’t have to change the station at all…. All in all this was a great buy for the that first month until yesterday when something happened (and I don’t know what) to cause every an ear-grinding crackle every time the MP3 player or the unit’s cable were moved even slightly [a sensitivity that was not present during the prior month]…. Not sure what caused this issue since it was not dropped or removed from the cigrette ligter for the last month but i would think it should have a longer life than 1 month…. Not sure what I’m going to do because if i have to pay shipping for warranty sevice on this then It might not be worth. One things for sure.. when i have to replace it I will think 2x about getting a coby.. great quality or not due to this longevity issue.

4 Stars Coby FM iPod transmitter
works very well so far…better than my cassette adapter. Like every FM transmitter, it runs into interference from time to time. But set at a low FM frequency (like 87.9) the interference seems to be minimal (except in large metro areas where there are “pirate” radio stations and maybe near the Mexico border.) Wish it recharged my iPod during travel but I’m still happy with it.

5 Stars Works great, a power switch maybe even better.
I use it on my 2004 Chrysler Sebring 4Dr sedan, the MP3 player is Sony A828 4GB. Most of the time I drive in the small city, but not yet any interference from other FM emitter. This one has very little noise, because of the long wire, but negligible. The noise between changing songs does not exist to mine, probably depends on each MP3 you are using.

cons: you need to turn on the volume a little bit louder than usually, so when you forgot to plug in the emitter, the noise of the radio is rather annoying. So a power switch or an automatic power switch may be desirable.

1 Star There are better alternatives
This is my second FM transmitter (after having the iriver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter) and I was severely disappointed in it. I was surprised how well-constructed this seemed out of the packaging (nice sturdy-feeling body, a thick coiled cable), but once I plugged it in, the problems began.

First, I found that if you bumped the cable however slightly, it would produce a lot of static or bumping sounds. This cable is EXTREMELY touch sensitive and would make the worst noises if I so much as picked up my MP3 player to change the song. And that’s with the transmitter securely plugged into the cigarette adapter, by the way.

Second, the signal of this thing was just terrible. Now I live in an urban area, but there are a TON of empty stations. But even on these stations my MP3 player sounded grainy at best, with white noise constantly in the background. I flipped through every channel trying to find a better alternative, but I had to settle for fuzzy noise in the background.

Third, while I really appreciate transmitters that let you scroll through all FM channels as opposed to giving you two or three options, I was kinda disappointed that the Coby doesn’t include quicksave buttons, i.e. programmable stations so you can save your own stations that sound the best. The iriver had this handy feature, but this guy did not, and I found myself missing it.

Overall, I wanted to try a new transmitter (my iriver AFT 100 Mobile FM Transmitter broke a while back) and decided to try this Coby to disappointing results. I will be getting a new iriver; its quality is amazing (mostly because I think it’s beyond FCC regulations). The only reason I had to get a new transmitter was because my old iriver broke, but this time I’ll be sure to keep the receipt and warranty information.

Avoid this thing, especially if you’re in any kind of urban setting at all.

1 Star Two TERRIBLE Experiences
After about three months of sheer delight with this adapter, it started working intermittently. After trying to contact customer service for technical advice (kept on hold, told I was 23rd, then 18th, then 9th then told to call back later, wasting over twenty minutes each of the three times), I finally just sent the darned thing back. About two months later a new one came, although I had purchased another adapter that was wired in permanently, so I didn’t need it right now. The new one sat unused, and unopened, for about three months and I needed to use it for a trip in another car that didn’t have any MP3 plug. I cut open the package, plugged it into my cigarette lighter and MP3 player, it lit up and looked just fine but produced no signal to the radio. I tried it in another car and same problem. This company has a serious problem with quality control and customer service. I just trashed the new replacement unit along with the packaging. I will avoid purchasing ANYTHING that says COBY on it.
