- Doesn't charge my iPhone 3G
- From what I've experienced, the other reviewers are correct: this product is either not designed to charge an iPhone 3G from a wall outlet, or else has such quality control problems that only a minority of wall units sold (judging from the reviews) actually work. The presentation on my iPhone is that the status icon on the top of the iPhone switches to the charging icon, and the full screen image with the green battery bar graph appears. But the unit doesn't really charge. And when you try to "slide to unlock" when connected to the wall charger, the arrow button never slides, and you cannot get to the Home screen (or the Enter Passcode screen if you have a passcode).
There are several online reports to the effect that several generic third-party iPod/iPhone chargers no longer work with the iPhone 3G. That seems to be true here, despite the claims to 3G-compatibilty.
The USB cable should work fine, though you can purchase it very cheaply by itself. I've not tried the car charger, and honestly wasn't in a big hurry to do so since I've traditionally had bad experiences with such devices (although I must admit that today's rechargeable batteries are much more resilient than the NiCads and lead acid gel contraptions that us greybeards started out with in the 1980s).
So your experience may be better, and it's not a major purchase, but since it's claimed that this is iPhone 3G compatible, I'm giving it one star and suggesting you look elsewhere. - 2008-11-24, 0 of 0 people found this review helpful, Rated:
- Worked for like a day...
- Well maybe a little longer...I kept this thing at work for emergency charges and used it maybe 10 times before it totally stopped working. It was never moved or abused in any way. Would not recommend.

- The home conection piece that goes into the electrical outlet drains what ever charge you have left on your phone. I have tried different outlets in the home and this piece does not charge it. The car piece works and the usb works but not the electrical piece. I would not buy reccommend this product.

- Great Product and Customer Service
- These products work very well and are much less expensive than what apple sells. Also, the seller went out of his way to make sure I was happy with my purchase.
