I must have spent a whole week faffing around looking for a USB power adapter for my iPod Touch, and nearly having no luck. From viewing other product pages of supposed 'power adapters', there were similarly very few positive reviews - the majority highlighting fake products, shoddy quality and misleading packaging. Many even reported their products 'blowing' whilst in use, or damaging their iPod's.
So naturally, I was tentative over dropping money for this product. As it turned out the other reviewers were correct; this one really is genuine, and I'm glad I paid the extra money in the process. The product is completely safe and barely gets warm, which is very reassuring! It is also a second generation product which is reflected by the style of packaging.
Advantages: It really is tiny and this handy when travelling. The item was bought so we could charge our iPods whilst on holiday, and it takes up no room in a bag. It is a very minimalistic design which has no way realistic way of falling apart through excessive tugging, because the plug is moulded. You can access the inners/fuse by the panel surrounding the contacts. You also get a cable featuring USB-to-iPod 30 pin adapter which was a big surprise, and certainly wasn't advertised anywhere. Freebies are always nice! A final bonus is that it charges my iPod quicker than when done so through a computer, which was also surprising.
If you're considering a wall power adapter for your iPod/iPhone then look no further and just get this genuine product.
