It is worth my money!!! I have made this one my travel charger because I like how it swivels!!

I know that it works great on my iPhone 5, and it is worth the money. Ask yourself this: How much will I save by purchasing this over what I would pay if I purchased a charger from my phone company provider? If you can save money, then you should know the answer. This charger works just as good as the one you would pay more for at the phone provider.

This is a quality product. I went thru a couple of cheap Chinese units that only lasted a day or two. I will buy another if I have to!

This is worth the money 100%. I bought the cheap $.99 ones on ebay from Japan and stuff, and they worked great for about 1 week and then they all stopped working. I love this charger. The cord is longer and that's more convenient and the swivel plugin means I can plug it in basically anywhere.

I haven't upgraded to iPhone 5 yet (didn't wait in one of those silly lines and now have to wait). I will report after I do the upgrade. I will get one of those $30 cables.

i found that the charging cords match many of my items re: cellphone other tablet etc... i did buy a generic charging pack of many usb , car charger that all fit .but i did learn just because it fits doesn't mean that the chargers are the same power.

the other answers are what i`m depending. Haven`t had to use it and hopefully never will. Only have about a half year left on it. Was it worth it? All depends. It seems Apple`s quality is pretty good so maybe all you need is their warranty that comes with the product. If it doesn't break in that time period it probably is not going to break, so save your money. It`s how you want to feel. Good luck.

Revised Oct 15, 2014: I finally learned how important power supply is to wireless charging. I purchased an anker decktop USB power supply and realized the wireless charger on my desktop only performed correctly when using the higher (2 amp and higher) USB socket. Aha moment!I checked my power supply in the car and it was 1 amp. Purchased a 2.1 amp power supply for the car and this charger now works flawlessly! Duh! Its the power supply!First Review:I have been using with 5S for about a week. The 5S vacillates between charging and not charging. Makes a noise nuisance as it bleeps on and off charge mode. I don't think I can take it. Will be returning if I don't find a solution. Revised Oct 15, 2014: I finally learned how important power supply is to wireless charging.

From all the reviews I have read about car jab chargers, which was quite a bit. Apple products need a 2.4 amp to charge correctly and all other, smartphones only need a 2 amp to charge correctly. This one is to me the best out there bc u get the best of both.

The sound quality should be the same for all three versions. The difference is that buying the android version for an android, or the iphone version for an iphone will give you a nifty volume slider and a play/pause button. So if all you're really looking for is the sound quality, I'd go for the cheaper ones. Ya feel me, homie?

Hi - Could either of you please recommend what is a good buy for the iPhone 3G"S"? Am confused with all that's out there. I was about to buy this when I saw this thread. Thanking you in advance.

I have had similar issue in the past. The difference I find in the Apple Certified Lightning charger is 1) it is built much stronger, meaning wires are less likely to be pulled out or break. 2) there is another USB slot, so you can charge another device. I've purchased this for my wife. She loves it! I cannot speak to years, but I find that the extra cost is way worth it. Good Luck

this one is NOT recommended for the iphone , and is mostly for usb charging cheapie phones, as the iphone draws alot of power during its charge up cycle,....this one would melt in the attempt,..and does not have the ability to fit with harnessing the built in 30 pin that the iphone has.....the best range of iphone batteries this way, i have seen, are way down the amazon lists of such batteries, they have hi-tech sounding names and they run from $55-80 and they mention right on thier ad that they fit all iphones and fully charge them up to 8 safe times!

Also, you do not need to purchase a more expensive cord.... This one will work perfectly and also charge your phone while you use it. Hope this helps you.

My experience is get the least expensive one. They do about the same thing-I have had multiple versions of the original, but all my chargers fit it. Otherwise I would just get a new one.

I have had zero problems with mine and have actually bought two car chargers as well. Great product in my opinion. I haven't had anything break or failures to charge. Unless you are abusing this thing I can't see how it would have some of the problems people mention.

There are so many chargers on the market it is difficult to specify which one you should buy. Just make sure you select one that is capable of charging a 3-cell LIPO battery (LIPO = lithium polymer). A "Cellpro 4S" is a good charger that will serve you well and the price won't break the bank.

Hi SRC! I bought the Powerocks first because of the color (I wanted red) and bought the Anker afterwards as a gift. If you don't require a specific color, I'd go with the Anker, not only because it's less expensive and has more charging power, but also because it comes with the Apple adapter (if you have an Apple product). Luckily, I have an Android, so the Powerocks worked just fine for me and I didn't need the extra adapter.

I don't know why they had me answer a question on this particular item, as I didn't buy this one; I bought the one with dual charging ports that does not come with a cable. so yeah, i can't be of much help there. All i can say is make sure the charger matches the specs on your device. Like the other person said, the free port appears to be used for 'bring your own cable.'

The APD80US appears to be the same cable and tips with just the Auto power adapter. At $.99 it's well worth it just for the cable, but would let you have a "car set" and "home set" of in-place chargers (with cables and tips) so you can be lazy and not worry about packing it up (or losing it on the road). Heck, at that price I'd get one for each vehicle I own.
