Car Cigarette Lighter Charger for Samsung Rugby Smart i847/ Brightside SCH-U380/ Galaxy S Blaze 4G

Car Cigarette Lighter Charger for Samsung Rugby Smart i847/ Brightside SCH-U380/ Galaxy S Blaze 4G T769, Galaxy S II R760, Galaxy S Aviator R930/ Focus 2 i667Ordered this for my husbands cell...it doesn't work properly. It cuts in and out and to get a solid charge, he has to hold the cord a certain way. Unfortunately it isn't worth the effort to return it.

Update: less than 2 weeks after initial purchase the charger doesn't work at all.

Bought this after getting new cell phone and have been very pleased, esp for the price. Plug my phone in while driving and bingo! it's charged when I get to my destination. Great deal for the money.

Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag Pouch

Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag PouchI have two of these for my two Battery Tender Jr's. They are perfectly suited for the Junior. I intend to buy another Battery Tender Jr. and will DEFINITELY buy another pouch. Some of reviews incorrectly say this is cheaply made of vinyl, they are actually made of water resistant nylon. I concur with the reviews that say they cannot store their extension cables in these pouches for me, the Battery Tender Jr (with cords neatly wrapped) was all I could manage to store in mine. Here's the REAL scoop on these:

1) Approx. 6" x 7" x 2" (sizes approx. from stitching to stiching)

2) Made of water resistant nylon seems to be fairly durable (piping & stitching only single-stiched)

3) Great clear vinyl "pocket" inside pouch for documentation (user instructions, etc.)

4) Double zipper pull meaning you can pull zippers from each side to meet in the middle to close the pouch.

5) Nifty little carrying strap

6) Company Name, Battery Tender Logo, & Company website silk screened on front

7) Finally, comes complete with a little white label stating this was "Made in China" but as much as I try it's hard to find practically "anything" made in the good old USA these days !!

Nice pouch, but had I known the Deltran Battery Tender Plus comes in a re-usable plastic case, I wouldn't have purchased this pouch. Usually you have to get out the utility knife to extract the "prize" sealed inside the plastic casing, but this case was really nice--it just snapped open without any cutting and you can close it again when you put the charger away. The pouch is a little smaller than I expected, but then so is the battery charger--about the size of half a small masonry brick--not car battery size like my dad's Craftsman.

Nice bag. I also purchased the 25 foot cable, but could not put it in the bag. Otherwise it holds the tender plus fine.

Nice inexpensive bag with the Battery Tender Logo.

-Yes, like someone else wrote, you can buy a cheap bag from the store instead, but this bag has an inner zipper section for the cables too.

-It's a nice bag, and when I take my car out of storage, I put the charger in the pouch, and store it in the trunk, so it is always with the car.

-Nice deal if you can combine this purchase with something else and get free shipping.

-enjoy.

Want Battery Tender 500-0017 Utility Bag Pouch Discount?

The Battery Tender Utility Pouch is very usuable for the Battery Tender Junior. The charger fits in the pouch along with both of the charger cords. At first, when opened from its packaging, it seemed a bit thin in material, but turned out to be very flexible to get the charger and cords inserted. As a result, I can put the bag with all its contents in the tool box of the '94 Kawasaki 400 Bayou for which I use the charger for when off on our yearly elk hunting trip.

Wireless One Premium Vehicle Charger for Micro USB Phones - Black

Wireless One Premium Vehicle Charger for Micro USB Phones - BlackDoesn't say that it works for the Motorola Droid, but it does (in case you were wondering).

Won't charge a Sony Ericsson X10i. Doesn't supply the necessary wattage (700ma at 5V).

This is nice for a cheap charger,

the cord is quite long, the size it's very nice and not big.

The only thing that I would ask is to have more quality in the micro-usb connector, that I know is cheap and might break after a few months, but with a month of use, I really like it!

Read Best Reviews of Wireless One Premium Vehicle Charger for Micro USB Phones - Black Here

This doesn't cost much more than the really cheapie ones that have about a 50% shot of not working even straight out of the box, but it feels solid and I've never had a problem with any of them. (I say "any of them" because I tried one and it worked well so I bought two more, and I'm about to order another two.)

I use them to charge an HTC Droid. Seems to do the job, though I don't use any of the really power-hogging features of the phone, like GPS, while I'm driving.

I used this to charge my Droid, at least for the month or so it lasted. It just doesn't charge at all anymore. This is the second car charger I've had fail. Maybe the Droid just requires more current than these can reliably provide.

iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPo

iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPod Touch Samsung Galaxy S4 S3 S2 Nokia Lumia 920 HTC OneX EVO 4G Rhyme DROID RAZR MAXX Google Nexus LG Optimus G BlackBerry Z10 Torch Compact Size GPSAfter I upgraded to the iPhone 5, I needed a car mount as my Magellan car mount is no longer compatible due to the lightning port and the phone being taller. This car mount is easy to use, extremely portable, and works with different devices and not just the iPhone 5, which is great so you don't have to buy a new mount whenever you buy a new phone. You can securely mount it on your windshield or dashboard. The sticky pad is really sticky. I mount it on the windshield, and I had to pull it really hard to get it off. But I mount mine on the dashboard since it's closer to eye level, and it's easier to reach than mounting it on a windshield. I have a textured dashboard, and it mounts without any problem. The mount has two arms to secure the phone without any support at the bottom. I prefer a mount without any extra support down at the bottom so you can access all the ports without that getting in the way. This is especially the case if you're using it with the iPhone 5 since the lightning port and headphone jack are in the bottom. So far I'm really liking this mount, and glad I got this over the iOttie One-Touch Windshield Dashboard Mount (don't like the bottom support) or the Ciingo Mount (not sure how stable that sticky pad is over time, especially during the winter months in Seattle). If you want a car mount that is portable and affordable, I think you'll like this.

PROS:

The mount is very small in size and compacts nicely when closed so it doesn't take up much space

You can easily rotate the arm to just about any viewing angle, and turn the phone around from a portrait to landscape view without removing anything

The pincher is able to hold very large phones, including my Samsung Galaxy S3 (with a case on it)

The suction cup is very strong: it was able to attach to my dash, which has a textured surface, and not fall off on a long trip

CONS:

The suction cup is very strong: they provide a small tab on the back for you to pull to remove the suction cup (after you twist the dial), but even still, it can be very difficult to pry it lose if it has a great seal to the surface it's on

If you have a stiff suspension like in my car, the phone will sometimes jiggle around a bit (although this more a fault of the car than the mount)

Buy iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder Cradle Desk Mount for iPhone 5 4S 4 3GS iPo Now

To start, I got the product in a timely manner (about a week).

I was worried about the clasp part of the product not being strong enough to squeeze my phone. My next worry was the phone slipping out of the grasp of the clasp. I think both of the worries were resolved when I noticed the clasp is quite strong and there are sticky grips on the clasp as well. Despite the bumps, its held onto my phone very tightly. So no problem here. There is a 'one-handed' mount feature which is nice. There is a release button in the middle of the mount face that, when pushed in, releases the clasp and grabs the phone. Nice for getting in the car and putting the phone in without fussing with the clasps.

The swivel is great. Let's you angle and tilt basically any way you need (assuming you mount the iOttie pointing in the general direction you want/need). The swivel is strong too so you won't have to worry about a bump causing a re-angling or re-tilting of the mount.

Now I took a star off because I got this mount for my dashboard. Initially, right out of the box, it did not stick to my dash...anywhere. I tired 3 different spots and no success. I read some of the other reviews on trying to wipe the surface with a wet paper towel then trying but still, no success. What worked for me was wiping the dashboard surface AND the sticky suction. Then I was able to adhere the mount to where I wanted it originally. I'll tell ya, once this thing is suctioned on good luck trying to get it off. I tried and it is quite tough..so make sure you know for sure where you want it.

Overall, it's a solid mount without the clunkiness of some. The 'one-handed' mount feature is a nice and the mount itself is pretty solid. I got the mount so I could use my phone as a GPS and so I could glance over to see who's calling while not taking my eyes off the road. This definitely gets the job done for me.

Btw, I drive a Prius C and I mounted the Flex iOttie middle right of my dash (above the radio). It is stuck on there solid. Will update the review if there is any problems in the future.

-------------------UPDATE:

So I've had the mount for about a month and the mount has held up great. It is stuck exactly where I installed it.

BUT...I have adjusted my rating.. Here's why.

I currently have the iPhone 4S and I started to notice that music was skipping when connected to bluetooth. I soon realized that something in the mount (perhaps the spring) is interfering with the bluetooth connection, causing the music to skip. I know the mount is the problem because when I remove my phone from the mount the music stops skipping. It does not matter if I play music that is stored on my phone or streaming music (I know streaming music buffers at times but the music stored on my phone should not be skipping). ALSO, this affects calls! This is really annoying! When I make or receive calls, the voices on the other end gets broken up and it is hard to understand them. I have to take the phone out of the mount to understand them.

If I can't listen to music or take calls from my phone in this mount, what's the point?

iOttie...Please fix...

UPDATE --11/26/12 ---UPDATE

After updating the last time, iOttie contacted me and offered to fix the problem! The customer rep (Brittany) was very accommodating and offered to send me a replacement or the onetouch model. I chose the OneTouch and this does not seem to affect the bluetooth connection from my iPhone 5 to the car. This mount is also much sturdier imo.

I am adjusting the stars to 4 for the great customer service. If you want a sturdier and more reliable mount, I would check out the OneTouch mount.

I ended up purchasing four different car phone holders before I found one that works that sticks to my dashboard, holds my IPhone 4, makes it relatively easy, with one hand, to insert the phone and remove it. And it stays stuck to the dashboard. I drive a late model Subaru Outback and after placing and testing the mount in many different locations, I found the most convenient one for me was mounted to the dash on left side of the steering wheel.

The three models that would not stick to the dashboard, anywhere I tried, are as follows (I returned them to Amazon without a problem:)

The iOttie Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder

The iOttie Easy Flex2 Windshield Dashboard Car Mount Holder & Desk Stand

The Tylt Capio Universal Car Mount

The one model that works, and is still working after a month, is the Aduro U-GRIP Universal Dashboard Windshield Car Mount. An added note is that this model comes with an extra grip in case the mount doesn't adhere well. I did not need to use it.

I was looking for a dashboard car mount for my iPhone 5 so that I could use my phone for navigation. The phone fit perfectly and securely. However, when I went to stick the suction cup onto the dashboard, it didn't stick and had very weak suction! I even made sure to clean the dashboard from dust. I was disappointed and ready to leave a negative review because the product claimed to stick to any surface. I gave it the benefit of the doubt though. I took a wet paper towel and squeezed out the excess water. Afterwards, I rubbed the bottom of the suction cup with it and also the area where I was to place the mount on my dashboard. Afterwards it worked like a charm! Suction is nice and strong and I'm not worried about my phone falling down.

iShoppingdeals - 12 Item Premium Accessories Bundle for Samsung YP P2 MP3 Player, Black/Pink Silico

iShoppingdeals - 12 Item Premium Accessories Bundle for Samsung YP P2 MP3 Player, Black/Pink Silicone Skin Case Cover + USB Car Charger + USB Travel Charger + USB Datal Cable + 3.5mm Audio Cable + Black Speaker + Headphone + Armband + Belt Clip + Screen Protector + Fishbone Keychain
  • This Bundle Includes 12 Items (Non OEM): USB Car Charger, USB Travel Charger, USB Data Cable, 3.5mm Audio Cable, Black Speaker, Headphone, Black and Pink Soft Skins, Armband, Beltclip, Screen Protector, Fishbone Keychain
  • USB Car charger: 12-24V, USB Wall charger: 100-240V, 2.0 USB cable is great for charging or to transfer data
  • Power this speaker with USB power cord (included) or go cordless with 4 x AAA batteries (not included)
  • Soft silicone skin case is extremely durable and provides a soft comfortable grip
  • Compatible with Samsung YP-P2 ONLY (MP3 Player Not Included)

I gave this bundle 3 stars only because the wall charger burned out. The car adapter worked awesome, though, and the speakers actually sound decent. I do wish the USB adapter for the speakers would also work as the sound outlet, or charge the batteries (if you had re-chargeables in there) rather than just providing a power source for the speakers themselves.

Still, for $20 bucks it's a damned useful bundle and if you have a PS2 (or similar mp3 player) I recommend it.

Sunlinq Portable Solar Panel Charger 6.5W 12V

Sunlinq Portable Solar Panel Charger 6.5W 12VBought this, plugged in my iPod and as long as the iPod was powered off, while in the strong sun, it provided trickle charge. When i tried to charge with power on it would not charge at all and the battery was drained. Not what I expected.

Update: I tried recharging my laptop and it works but power must be off. I was also able to charge my iPad but only with power off.

I guess this will work on most gadgets as long as the power is off. I am curious whether I should get a voltage regulator. I don't know if my gadgets or the Sunlinq will stop trying to charge once the batteries are 100%. For now I will just watch carefully.

Item arrived rapidly and I have charged numerous items including Garmin 410, Ipod, battery packs and cell phone and this Solar Panel is amazing. Charges rapidly and without any problems at all. Item is made of strong materials and should hold up very well when backpacking. Wish I had discovered this long before now.

Well designed and very robust, made for rough environments.

I have been using this for over a year and it still looks like new. I have an outlet in my center console and this is the perfect solution. I plug in the charger, run the wire out and my phone will charge will sitting in the tray where it is accessible.

I bought it for my nokia 6126, as expected it did work for my cell fone. I does work and charge up my phone in the car but the only problem which i figured is that the charger does not fit very well in the cigarette lighter warmer so as a result you have to push it and adjust it sidewise and up n down until it gets the current and starts charging. But when it does start it is what you can expect from a charger.

Stanley PC1A09 100 Watt Power Inverter with USB Power Outlet

Stanley PC1A09 100 Watt Power Inverter with USB Power OutletI bought this unit because there is no cooling fan, and rated 100W continuous. It makes no sound at all. Instruction book states it creates a modified sine wave for AC power, not the standard square wave which can lead to excessive heating. Modified sine wave was exactly what I wanted.

I have powered a GPS unit through the USB charging port together with a laptop PC, with the PC operating and battery charging, no problems. Unit did not get hot. I'm thinking I should get another.

Caution, the inverter plugs into the dashboard 12V car adapter quite tightly. Take care when removing the inverter from the dashboard by holding the dashboard 12V car adapter in place while rocking the inverter back-and-forth to remove, so as to not pullout the 12V car adapter from the dash.

The fit needs to be snug so the inverter does not work loose from the dash, but I think it is a bit too tight. I give it a Good (4) rating because of the tight fit, otherwise it would be Excellent(5).

To try out this unit I put our two-bulb desk lamp in the car, put brand new 60 and 40 Watt incandescent bulbs in it (to load it to the rated 100 Watts) and ran it on the way to work and back. It performed wonderfully. The adjustable neck let it fit into either of the cigarette lighter jacks. Power held true even while idling for a train slowly leaving the Container Port and for a traffic accident to clear on the way home. The unit was warm to the touch but certainly not hot at the end of each commute, even after running constantly at its rated full load. For reference, the unit performed this well in a VW "New Beetle".

Popular Mechanics magazine had recommended the purchase of a Black & Decker PI100AB 100-Watt Power Inverter for hurricane preparedness. When I looked at these on Amazon.com, it was clear ordinary consumers were not as thrilled as Popular Mechanics with that unit. But the inverter was still a good idea and Amazon.com also offered this model from Stanley which showed a much higher customer satisfaction rating. Clearly I share the high opinion of those previous reviewers and hope that this review will, in turn, benefit someone else.

I highly recommend this inverter. I have used numerous inverters and I can say without a doubt, this is the most compact and quietest one I have come across. Construction is very good and I really like the fact that it cuts out if the car battery gets too low. The USB port is very handly for charging my iPods, iPhone, and GPS. Must have for travelling!

Originally, I gave this a 5 star review but now it gets one star and is getting returned after a real road trip and has to go back. When I first received the unit I thought it was great. I put it through a few hours testing locally in my two cars with MP3 players and smart phones. It did great. However, just a few days later we took a real road trip of about 12 hours. We didn't need the device for a few hours so kept it stowed away. Then I charged one small mp3 player and started charging an an Android phone. About 20 minutes later the unit died, or so it seemed. At the next stop we checked our fuses because nothing else would work in the cigarette power adapter either. It was a blown fuse. Blow fuses happen so we replaced it. I resumed charging the Android phone with the power off and not even 15 minutes later it died again. At the next stop we replaced the fuse again and decided not to use the unit again on the trip in case it caused worse problems than a blown fuse. At our destination, a family member was curious about this and tried the Stanley in his car with his mp3 player. This time it blew the fuse in his car in just a few minutes. His car was nearly brand new. I knew then there was something defective with the inverter sent to me. It seemed like a great idea and was very quiet opposed to other inverters I've had in the past. Perhaps its this quietness that caused the problems? So it's going back to Amazon. For the record we bought a no-name inverter in the same form factor as this Stanley at a truck stop on the way back and it operated during the whole trip home without any problems.

Dead silent, runs cool, charges almost anything. A friend's EEE PC refused to charge, but there are all sorts of warnings on the manual about certain products that dislike the "regenerated sine wave" this inverter generates. Please note that it plugs very tightly into the cigarette adapter. This is by design. You don't want poor electrical contact on something designed to draw more than the usual amount of current. Make sure you hold your socket in place with the other hand when unplugging this unit and you'll be OK.

I bought this charger for my Droid X and for charging it works ok. Last weekend I used my Droid X to go to a friends house about an hour away, and used the GPS feature to get there. The GPS kept kicking off every few minutes. I didn't know why it was doing that, and did some research on it. On one of the Droid X forums, it says the reason that is happening is the charger output is too low. It seems that the GPS causes the Droid to use more power and this charger will not supply the proper power to charge the Droid X and use the GPS at the same time. It works great for simply charging the Droid X, but not to use it and charge it at the same time. The charging current is simply just too low. There is a much better solution. Get the Scosche reVIVE II Dual USB Car Charger for iPad, which has two settings. One is for 2.1 amps and the other is for 1 amp. Use it on the 1 amp setting for the Droid X. The other solution is to get a Belkin Micro USB Auto Charger 5VOLT 1A. It has a 1 amp output and is everything you need to use the Droid X and charge it at the same time while traveling. The Belkin solution is less money. Just plug the USB cord into the chargers and all is well.

Buy Premium Deluxe Plug-In Car Charger with Intelligent IC chip for MOTOROLA i296 / DROID 2 A955 / Droi Now

Typical economic car charger. Wasn't thinking and pulled on the cord instead of the connector to unplug it. Wires slipped out of the connector and it was ruined. User error, I know, but good construction goes a long way with me. An extra bead of solder or hot glue in the connector's housing would make a world of difference.

So if you baby it and make sure you connect/disconnect it from your device while grasping the connector only, you're good to go. If you're constantly unplugging/plugging it in like I am when I get in or out of the car, buy the one they offer wherever you purchased the device.

I got the two pack and they seemed to work fine from the start but within two months, they seem to work at random times. I will plug it in and the phone shows charging then after about a minute its like the phone doesn't detect a charger. The car's port works fine. But when it DOES charge, it charges ok. Not very fast but it IS a car charger. DROID 2.

Works very well with my Karma QA1

No problems at all!!

Thanks!!!

Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger

Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger
  • 6-watt solar panel charger designed for iPods and other electronics
  • Foldable CIGS solar panel with direct-connect iPod power cable
  • Vehicle outlet cable plugs into car's 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter
  • Links with other panels for increased power output; handy storage sack
  • Measures 29 by 9 inches and weighs 7.1 ounces; one-year warranty

First off, I live in Sacramento, CA. So it's not the sunniest location, but still pretty dang sunny.

I purchased the Solaris i6 with the intention to be able to charge any of the following: Ipod Video, Ipod Shuffle, Treo Smartphone, Garmin GPS, Bluetooth headset, & AA or AAA batteries. Usage would be mainly around the house, but I am an outdoor enthusiast that would disappear into backcountry whenever possible taking my trusty Ipod as my only real tie to civilization. Therefore, portability, simplicity & durability would be paramount for my outings.

At first tests, the Solaris was TECHNICALLY capable of charging everything EXCEPT the Ipod Video. The shuffle, phone, GPS & Bluetooth were fabulous no problems there. The AA & AAA batteries were close to impossible. Majority of chargers out there are just not able to work with the current that's created from these panels. I did find a charger that could, however the limit was a single battery at a time! If 2 batteries were placed in the charger, the lights would flicker a little -but charge. The SECOND a cloud, haze, or anything (possibly even a ladybug!) passed over the sun, the threshold was broken & the battery charger would flash "error." Unfortunately, the charger would either sit there flashing error (& no longer charging) until I came back later thinking my batteries are charged, or I would have to reset the charger by either removing the batteries & re-inserting (or unplugging & re-plugging the charger to the solar panels). So... technically, there probably is a charger out there that can work off of the current that the i6 produces, but in my experience -I'm as close to finding that charger as I am to finding a cure for Mad Cow Disease. So, expect the stated "3-4 hrs to charge 4 AA batteries" to actually read, "3-4 hrs PER AA battery." As for the Ipod... IMPOSSIBLE as well using the provided Ipod cable. I figured I had a defective Ipod cable -as the terminal contacts were too small for me to test with my voltage meter. Concluding so, I exchanged the Solaris for another one hoping that the Ipod issue would be resolved. Well, the problem was not resolved.

I can only conclude 1 of 2 conclusions, either: 1) I have terrible luck, & got 2 units with defective cables, or 2) the i6 is not capable of creating enough juice to charge the Ipod Video (at least in my 95 degrees, full-sun early September conditions here in Northern CA). I'm assuming scenario #2. That said, I think it's terrible to tout a product specifically for the Ipod -yet it can't deliver. As a manufacturer, I'd have tested the product against available generations of Ipods that use the connection that you are providing. There is no disclaimer (except that the lighting conditions may vary from our test type deal, etc.), so it really is disappointing. If you have a USB car adapter however, you can use this with the normal Ipod USB cable & the Brunton provided Female Cig adapter. This WILL charge the Ipod -but you now have to use 3 items vs. the 1 Brunton Ipod cable. For some this may be insignificant, but for me -this feels a little jacked-up when you consider the Ipod cable is about $10... which means some of my purchase price is completely wasted. Not to mention the fact that I now have to carry more bulk when outdoors.

So bottom-line, this product is capable of charging an Ipod -as well as a good majority of SMALL electronics. UN-intentional deception aside, I like the Solaris for what it is capable of delivering in such a portable package. I will however grade them hard, as I believe in delivering on a promise or claim.

On a side note, I am impressed with the Solaris line to the point that I am currently contemplating purchasing the 26 as well for larger electronics (digital SLR batteries & portable DVD players), for longer comfortable basecamps away from power.

One last point to consider... if you are purchasing these units SOLELY for emergency power (cell phones), you might want to consider the 12 or 26 watt Solaris instead. The 6 watts work beautifully under sunny conditions, & at about 25%-50% under light to moderate overcast conditions (but still enough to activate my phone charger). I would doubt though that enough current would be produced under heavier overcast (conditions typically associated with emergency situations) to initiate charging for most cell phones. For those of you thinking, "it's for situations like car trouble on a sunny day (not natural disasters)," let's face it, why would you need something as expensive as solar?... why not go with something like an extra battery... easier & cheaper to buy & carry. With a larger Solaris, there is a greater chance that the panels will collect enough energy to trigger your chargers, as a 10-15% output from the 26 would be most likely enough to activate charging. Just something to think about...

I really thought that this was exactly what I have been looking for...but it is not. If you are looking for a solar energy source for charging your iPod or newer cellular phone, look somewhere else. I own several Brunton products, and I've never had a problem with them before. Even though the specifications listed claim to be able to charge an iPod, it actually takes TWO or even THREE of these very expensive panels linked together to charge an iPod touch or iPhone. It took two Brunton i6 panels linked together to charge an iPod 3G nano, 80GB video iPod, and my Samsung Instinct even in direct sunlight. Although this item even lists "iPod" specifically in its name, I would have to recommend the Brunton 12-watt or even 26-watt solar panels to do the job. The i6 *may* have enough power to charge some of the much older iPods, such as the 1G and 2G nano, but I do not have any old iPods to test.

I use this to charge my iPhone. It works. It won't charge the battery while the phone is on but it seems maintain the level. I don't see this as an issue because I use this where there is no cell service, and no power I'm just using the phone as an iPod at this point. The sun is bright where I am in the west. Mine came without the storage sack and I emailed Brunton. They got back to me quickly and mailed me one. I give it four stars as the instruction book doesn't mention it working with an iPhone I just had to take a chance.

It does come with an array of cables: cigarette lighter socket, battery clamps, and various barrel connectors for charging other stuff. I haven't tried any of that at this point.

Also note that charging electronics in the hot sun is always tricky. One needs to shade or protect the device somehow so it doesn't get overheated while keeping the panel in the bright sunlight.

Want Brunton New SOLARIS i6 Foldable iPod Solar Charger Discount?

I bought this solar charger in the hopes that it would charge other usb devices in addition to my iPod. It doesn't charge the most important one, a Garmin Edge 305 cycling computer. In fact, it drains the battery rather than charging it. Further, Brunton's customer support on this issue was poor. The charger works fine with my 4th-generation iPod, but I'd rather not carry a separate charging system for every device, so I'm now looking for a better option for solar charging.

Car Charger for Sanyo SCP-3810

Car Charger for Sanyo SCP-3810Purchased this for about a tenth the price of one from the Sprint store. Works great, you would never know it is not the 30 dollar one. Cord is firm and well made with good retraction in the curl. Does not appear cheap. Have had a few months now with no problems.

It is a car charger! Ya plug it in and it works or it doesn't work. This one works. It is not like it is the cure for cancer ... it works ... I came quickly and the price was great. Now, I've got to go make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich which takes a whole lot more to do than using a car charger.

GTMax Black Rapid Retractable Car Charger for Verizon Samsung Gusto U360

GTMax Black Rapid Retractable Car Charger for Verizon Samsung Gusto U360This little charger is excellent. Very small and easy to put in the car for long trips.

I'm happy I got it!

I really like this item's retractable cord. Other auto plug-ins have the cords which always seem to be in the way and tangling this up. It is therefore easy to store and it does its job just fine.

Where has this idea been hiding? I paid nearly $20

for a car charger when I bought my phone. When I saw this for $1.42, I thought it probably wouldn't work, but I didn't have much to lose at that price. I love it! no pile of curly cord to get tangled up and take up room, and it works just great.

Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Moment M900

Retractable Car Charger for Samsung Moment M900It works fine. Keeps my Moment charged while driving, which is all I need. Only complaint is the cord is a bit short, making it difficult to talk while it's plugged in (for those times the battery is dead but I have to make work calls).

Love the retractable concept of this charger but, unfortunately, it lends itself to "shorting" out (somehow the connection gets disrupted between the phone and the charger) with some fine tuning would be an excellent product but can't recommend as is.

I love this charger. The blue light on the charger makes it very appealing in appearance. I am able to operate my phone while being charged with no lag/delay. The expandable cord is a well appreciated feature too!
