Convenient little cable
By Russell Belfer
I'm somewhat pleased with this little retractable cable. Fortunately, I had read the other reviews, so I was not astonished by the short length and it works for me. Some things you must know:

* As other reviewers mention, this is not a 6' cable. The technical details have the rectify 2.5' length, but the description is incorrect.
* The retractor mechanism is a little cheap and I've gotten it tangled a couple of times. That being said, I've always been competent to untangle it and it has recovered.
* The rubber around the plug ends is a good size for iPods and most stereo inputs, but it is too wide for the audio jack in an iPhone. I took a sharp knife to one end of the cable and shaved down the sides, then it worked fine even for the recessed iPhone jack. This wasn't too hard to do, though that cable end doesn't look too pretty now.

In spite of these reservations, the cable works well, the audio quality seems fine, and it is small, convenient, and nicely functional.

There's a better choice...
By AmazonMan
Not horrid but I purchased it at the same time as I purchased a much better similar product- Cables Unlimited Zip-Linq Male/Male Retractable 3.5mm Stereo Cable.

The Cables Unlimited one is much sturdier and a little longer. After using the two, it seems that the Scosche (this product) does not exaggerate and retract as fluidly as the cables 2 go one. I feel like I'm going to break the Scosche one each time I use it. Also, the Scosche one is extreeemely short and I found the Cables Unlimited one to be a much more practical size, in particular giving careful consideration to they retract to the same size anyway.

I'd definetely commend the CablesUnlimited one. I purchased both. Learn from me.

works
By R. Bencivengo
This product is perfective for use in my Accord. It's just long sufficient that I may hold my MP3 player while it's plugged into the auxiliary jack.

I don't have much else to say. It is just a cable and it does what it's supposed to do.
