Digital camera reviews of Griffin PowerDuo Universal Charger for USB-Charging Devices (Black)
Digital camera Review: Completely Useless
Summary: 1 Stars
Please don't waste your time and money on this item. The 12VDC car adapter is fairly compact, but it only has one USB outlet. The item description implies that both the wall AND car adapters have dual USB outlets, but this is not reality. The wall adapter gets very warm during use and does not charge my Blackberry above 50% capacity (let alone two Blackberries). In the end, both adapters are useless to me. I will not be looking to buy any products from Griffin ever in the future. I am dissapointed that Amazon.com does not have a more accurate description for this item. Clearly the seller is in it for the money and should be ashamed for selling such a useless piece of junk.Digital camera Review: Convenient
Summary: 4 Stars
I like both items. The car charger is the best. It's tiny and unassuming. The red and green light let's you know easily if the phone is charged or not. The dual charger is cool to charge more than one product. My only gripe is that it pulls out of sockets easily. but that's not a reason not to buy it all. It's small and convenient and cuts down on the bulk of multiple chragers having to be carried.Digital camera Review: Exactly as expected
Summary: 5 Stars
Griffin makes good products and the PowerDuo Charger is a good product that does what is needed. I have the 12volt plugged into the car and the dual home charger in the house. It sure is nice to be able to plug in an iPod for a charge without all the syncing that comes with charging on the Mac.
This product works for our 2g Touch and 4g Nano. Any iPod that charges over USB should work with this. At a discounted Amazon price and with the reputation of Griffin; I couldn't go wrong. Highly recommended.
Digital camera Review: Great iPhone 3G charger. USB is the way to go!
Summary: 5 Stars
Problem: The 3g iPhone drains your battery like no other. If you're on a road trip or if you use the GPS extensively, you're going to need a car charger.
What we were looking for: I've read too many horror stories of third party chargers bricking iPhones. So I wanted something reliable. I looked for items they sold at the apple store here on Amazon, as it is much cheaper here. I figured if Apple was selling them, they must be more reliable than these other cheaper alternatives that have been damaging phones.
Pros:
1. USB! I think this will be the trend for chargers. More and more chargers will be USB cords, so you won't have to get a billion tips for your different devices. You just plug in the USB cord that came with your product in the first place. This is a 5.5 V system, so both my iPhone and my Jawbone work.
2. Fuse: I like that it has a fuse. Its very reassuring after reading how many iPhones have been messed up by third party chargers.
3. Dual USB on the powerblock (AC home wall adapter not cigarettelighter). You can charge 2 usb devices at once. Note that the powerjolt (cigarette lighter adapter) only has 1 usb port. I've read that other car adapters that incorporate 2 usb ports hum annoyingly.
4. Small car adapter unit: barely sticks out.
Cons:
1. The powerblock is a bit bulky. I was planning on taking this with me on trips, but I think I'll take the iPhone charger instead and leave this one at home.
Conclusion: Great car charger for the 3g iPhone, with a fuse for assurance. The powerblock unit has 2 usb devices allowing you to charge 2 usb devices at once. Just use your usb cable, no more annoying car charger adapter tips to deal with.
