Quirky Cordies Desktop Management System (White)

My original review (but keep reading, because I've added something important to what I said originally):

This product came into being because of deficiencies in the controls for the 4th generation iPod Shuffle Apple iPod shuffle 4 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, Apple iPod shuffle 2 GB Silver (4th Generation) NEWEST MODEL, whose controls are so close to the ear-pieces of the headphones that they are not only awkward to use, but they get soaked with sweat (if you're exercising, which is what many people who buy the Shuffle use it for) and then may perform erratically or not at all.

First off, it worked fine for a while.
Then the volume up button wouldn't click. Still worked, so whatever.
Then the middle button would get stuck. I would have to pry it back open with my fingernails.
Then the thing started acting up; it kept thinking the middle button was pushed. I would have split the thing in half, peel off the poorly stickied metal contacts, and it still thinks the middle button was being pushed.
OK product. Shoddy construction.

The concept is very simple, volume up, volume down pause.

Volume up works perfectly.
Pause mostly paused. One time it skipped to the next track.
Volume down raised the volume. I could get it to lower the volume sometimes, but it required just the right spot between the pause and volume switch, which most of the time first raised the volume or paused.

Mine was obviously defective, but, with other reviews I have read in different places, there are MANY quality issues with it.
It's a great idea, but don't waste your money.
