Digital camera reviews of B-Stock Creative Power Adapter for Zen Players (White)
Digital camera Review: Super fast charger
Summary: 5 Stars
Trying to charge an mp3 player on a computer which does not have a hi speed usb port takes hours. With this charger I could charge the player in approximately 30-45 minutes. Understandably, there are many various chargers available, but the one fact that convinced me to purchase this charger was it works with Creative players. I really did not want to chance it with another manufacturer which may not have worked. Of course the beauty of a charger is it allows the player to be charged without the use of a computer.....Digital camera Review: The first charger that actually works for my Zen Plus
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased three other chargers in retail stores and ended up returning all of them because they would not charge my Zen. I finally ordered the actual Creative Labs product and it DOES charge my Zen.
The only thing I am unsure of yet, is if it will charge AND play at the same time. I have tried it and it seems to charge but I'm not sure if it really is charging. I rated it a 3 because it is quite a bit more expensive than other chargers in the market. If it ends up playing AND charging at the same time, I would rate it a 4. (PS - delivery was very prompt.)
Digital camera Review: This is the US only adapter, not the universal one
Summary: 3 Stars
Despite the photo showing adapter plugs for international travel, the product number is the same as the US only one for sale on Creative's web site.Digital camera Review: Watch out for that plastic prong cover!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a fine product. It does what it is supposed to do. My zen charged in less than two hours. I had tried other usb chargers, even ones that said that they worked with Creative Zen products, and they didn't work. Watch out - just because something says that it FITS the Zen doesn't mean that it actually works with it.
I almost sent it back, however, out of my own ignorance. When the product arrived, there was a white plastic cover over the prongs. It is the same type of plastic that the product is made out of, and it blends very smoothly into the product. It is also firmly attached. It seems like the product arrives with big white plastic prongs that are obviously not going to work in the United States. In fact, it looks just like the black and white drawing of the Chinese plugs in the paperwork that arrives with the adapter. So I wrote the company, asking for an exchange. I got a reply back (within 24 hours) saying, "no, you got the right adapter. Just take off the cover, idiot." OK, they didn't really call me an idiot. I just felt like one. But, low and behold, the prong cover actually does come off and now I love my Zen even more than before.
Digital camera Review: Well worth the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I find charging my Zen play through my computer both time-consuming and cumbersome. The charger is much, much faster and more convenient. Well worth the small price.
