Skiva PowerFlow 2.1Amp / 10Watt (Fast) Car Charger (Now with Improved Cable) for new iPad, iPhone 4

I recently purchased an Apple 64GB iPad 2 (Wi-Fi and 3G) and fell in love with it. I take it with me just about everywhere I go. Expensive item but well worth the price. I also bought the best case I could find for my iPad 2 but only by going through many manufacturers and models. This was no easy task because there are a lot of inferior cases out there and only a handful of excellent quality cases. Being an Apple user for many years I have never bought any accessory that wasn't made by Apple (because their quality control is very high). My last purchase of an Apple bluetooth keyboard for my iPad (from Amazon.com) is another very high-quality item that is made very well using the best quality materials.

I bring all of this up because I was searching for a car charger for my iPad 2. There aren't a lot of them to choose from so (as usual) I searched Amazon.com and other internet sites looking for one that was at least comparable to an Apple device. I stumbled across this Skiva PowerFlow 2.1-amp/10 Watt charger that works not just for my iPad 2, but also for i-Phones, iPods and any other devices Apple makes in the future (as long as they continue to use the specific to Apple charging and sync cable).

I was very impressed when it arrived and I checked it out. The charger and cable and connectors are all black and look great in my car. The charger fits snugly and tightly in my car's charger. No loose fitting here which is what I was hoping for. The same is true of both of the end connectors. One end (the USB) plugs into the charging unit while the other plugs into my iPad, iPhone or iPod. ALL connectors and charger fit perfectly and need to be pulled out as I've said everything fits very tightly. Also my iPad charged very quickly (as good as using AC house current or even better). Again, I was extremely impressed!!! This is simply a great little car charger which is really handy to have especially when making long car trips. If you have kids with you and happen to have any movies on your iPad (Digital copies) you'll really appreciate this charger even more.

This purchase for me was somewhat of a "blind buy" even though all the customers who bought one at Amazon.com gave it all high scores (most giving it a 5 which is the highest). So I thank all the Amazon customers who gave this item the high scores it deserves. I know I'm very grateful to have found this item at Amazon.com because the price could not be beat on such a high-quality product.

I definitely recommend this car charger very highly to anyone that has any Apple device and makes lengthy car trips. The quality of the charger and cable along with a very reasonable price can't be beat.

The fact that other USB cables can be plugged into the charger makes it a more versatile charger. Cable is long enough so that someone in the back seat can use their phone while it charges up front. Works with the iPhone 4s. This is my first car charger for an iPhone so can't really judge how fast it charges compared to other car chargers. However, it seems to charge at a rate of 1% per minute which is the same speed as the Apple wall charger that comes with the phone.

This charger does exactly what it says it does for iphone,and ipad. charges one item at a time. I have had other models with poor connections and other issues. this one is like the mac. It just works. I am very happy with it. It charges rather quickly so I do not think I would leave a fully charged phone on it continuing to charge. My phone lasts all day any way, so this is only needed when I am traveling or I forgot to plug it in the night before. any way, the iphone battery lasts MUCH longer than the Droid I had previously. The outer ring glows when it is on, so you know the socket is working. Seems like a quality product.

After plugging this in, it charged my iPhone 4 for a few minutes (worth noting that it did not stay seated in the car lighter socket and had to be held in place seriously? How hard is it to design a correctly sized cylinder??). After less than five minutes, the indicator light went off on the unit and it became VERY hot! I decided to not risk my iPhone 4 any further. I've since tried it in two other vehicles (to see if it was a vehicle compatibility issue) and the unit is indeed fried on the inside and now only good if I want to needlessly drain my car battery, or fry an egg on it, or possibly send a vehicle up in a ball of flames.

Waste of time. Piece of junk. Don't waste your dollars. The manufacturer should be ashamed and Amazon should pull this item.

I bought this in July and didn't get around to using it until September. Neither my iPhone 4 nor my iPad (original) would charge and I had the message "This accessory is not supported".

So, I would recommend not buying this product.
