Griffin iFM amazon.com User Reviews

Buyer Beware!

In spite of the product description, this will not work as a wired remote for the ipod 3G. The radio works but you might feel a bit silly hauling around a $200+ ipod to serve as a battery for a radio. There has got to be a better way!Griffin iFM (Dock Co...

A really bad choice

Save your money. The construction is extremely cheap. My Griffin iFM fell apart in a couple of months! I couldn't put it back together because the controls don't line up and the sides won't glue. I wish I could find another alternative but I can't find o...

Don't see the point

I bought the iFM to use with my new Nano. The only relationship it has with the Ipod is to use it for power. When you plug this into the Ipod, you now have 2 separate devices to carry; the Ipod does not even have to be on for the iFM to work. Ipod...

I don't own this...but consider these other options

I have both an iPod Nano and Sandisk Sansa e250. If you don't already own an iPod but is thinking of getting one along with this iFM Radio, consider this: Cost of iPod+FM = $145+$36=$181 Cost of Sansa = $107 The Sandisk (or even...

Griffin iFM

Functionally, the iFM is great. I like to use it for workouts at the gym to watch FM transmitted TV's. However, the construction is extremely cheap. I bought two of them and both fell apart. One fell apart the second time I used it. The construction is so...

Subtracted one star for build quality

I received the iFM 2 months ago, and while the tuner is excellent -regularly pulling in stations I couldn't always get with other portable radios- the build quality has left something to be desired. First of all, the belt clip is made of a cheap pl...

Griffin iFM vs. Apple Radio Remote iFM Pros: ++ arrangement of buttons makes operation by touch a cinch + (cosmetic) available in black (only) iFM Cons: - Lowest volume setting is still a little too loud for cer...

Fun and Mini (FM!)

I love my iPod, and what's more I love iTunes (especially since I have gotten a broadband connection.) One of the things I like doing in my apartment on Saturday mornings is listening to my music, but often, I alternate this with public radio from my iTu...

Does the job

I wanted this so that I could tune into the TV stations at the gym. Reception is great and I can easily flip from listening to the iPod and listening to the radio/TV. Extra hanging cords are annoying, but other than that I am pleased with the...
