RadTech recently introduced three new accessories for the second-generation iPod shuffle. The Acclaro case for iPod shuffle features hard-shell construction that can bend without breaking and allows access to the shuffle’s controls, audio port, and integrated clip. It also features small channels at either end of the case to help with cord management. The Acclaro case for iPod shuffle is available now for $10.
The ProCable for iPod shuffle is a small charge and sync cable for the shuffle. It measures only six inches long, weighs 10 grams, and is in stores now for $9. The RetractCable for iPod shuffle is another dock replacement cable. It features a 31-inch charge and sync cable inside a compact retractable housing. It is also available now, and sells for $10.

I’m a big fan of RadTech, so when I got my Shuffle a while back I ordered RetractCable to have in my computer bag (I had the regular iPod dock connector version already). Anyway, unlike the cable for my big iPod, the RetractCable for Shuffle does not work. I think the jack doesn’t fit the Shuffle port properly, b/c my computer mounts the Shuffle and charges it, but if I open iTunes to sync the Shuffle, it gets stuck during data transfer and I always have to force quit iTunes. So, buyer beware.

RadTech is an extremely reputable company that in my experience (5 or 6 orders over the last two years) sells only the highest quality products and truly cares about their customers. I am sure that they would not risk their reputation as a company by selling a product that doesn’t work?!?! I would just give them a call and I’ll bet that they will replace the cable you purchased if it is in fact defective.
The ProCable looks to be the solution for me. I like the fact that it’s so small....... Why didn’t Apple think of that?!?!
