it is VERY obvious why this so inexpensive. It doesnt work at all, no syncing or charging on my 3GS. i bought this cable solely for the little clips that hold the cable in the connector port as it shows in the picture, but the cable i received looks exactly like the cable that came with the iPhone, the little one without clips but black. i was going to use it to make a hand strap for my iPhone. ([...]) i am very disappointed with this, it is completely useless. total waste of money and time.
