Bought one for a friend walking across the country and back (Trek For Hope), for families of fallen Spec Ops warriors. He has it attached to the top of his back pack all day and he can only get it to charge to %15-%40. It does charge to the full %100 when plugged in via a USB cable to the wall or a PC. This product works fine as a portable charging device but the solar charging aspect is ineffective.

They say it charges everything, but in the box there are no iGo tips. $10 a pop for each one of those. Nice little racker they have going with iGo!

Went camping with it and it fell about 2' to the dirt and the piece that holds the 3 together broke. I expect a bit better materials. I used twist ties to fix it, and it still works. Have it hanging in my window for the occasional hurricane Sandy experience. Nice to have a bit of juice. But it takes several days to get a decent charge. Love solar technology, but this isn't the one

I am not sure, but I believe this unit has fried the charging receptacle in my phone and mp3 player ($16 to replace the internal battery). After attempting to charge both, the batteries would not take a charge anymore from anything. Very disappointing when 20 miles out on the trail with no tunes or phone. It doesn't seem to have a problem charging my camera though. Take your own chances ...

Well first off! It's only the charger. I figured it would at least come with a USB out or something. But there is no way to charge anything with it straight out of the box. You have to buy their little charger attachments. For the price that is just unacceptable. Especially considering Goal Zero has a much nicer package for $20 more. Skip Solio, go with Goal Zero.
