I've gone through many car chargers over the last year with my HTC EVO 4G. The problem I kept running into was the metal connection point (male end) would become slightly bent after a few months of use. Then I would have to wiggle it around to get it connected and it would still disconnect.I have yet to run into the problem since I bought it in December 2011 (It's mid March 2012 now). I also like that the cord is very long. The traditional coiled (telephone type) cords were never long enough for me. This works well although the cord is significantly thinner than any other USB or car charger I've seen. I'm a little worried about getting it pinched in something (like the stick shift in the center console), but I haven't had any issues yet.
If you don't like traditional car chargers, then this one is definitely worth a try.
In short you get what you pay for. Cheap price; cheap product.I like that this charger retracts by the push of a button, solid design, will be ordering extras for other vehicles.This charger works only if your phone isn't already low on battery and you don't plan on using it while it charges. After my phone dying several times quickly after using this charger, I had to buy a new one. It is now only used as a back up, since it barely works.This product came as stated and packaged properly. I have had no problem with the fit and finish of it and the retractor works well. The only problem I encountered was with the fuse. Within 5 minutes it stopped working and upon further inspection, the fuse was blown. The fuse is a smaller diameter than the standard 1/4" American fuses that you find in any auto store so I have a bricked product when the fuse blows. If I can figure out how to get another fuse for it, It would still work.
