Digital camera reviews of Griffin PowerJolt Redesign Car Charger for iPod and iPhone 1G (Black)
Digital camera Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I just needed something to charge my iphone in the car while talking. This does the job. I have kept most of the cord wound up just as received by the manufacturer, this keeps the entire package neat and easy to stow away. I usually charge the phone while running the hands-free bluetooth. No problems with any faulty hardware, etc.Digital camera Review: Works perfectly with iPhone 3G
Summary: 5 Stars
Works perfectly as a car charger for my iPhone 3G. Nice, aesthetic design with clean lines and pleasing glowing ring at the head of the charger letting you know charge status. Nice to know that I can charge via USB as well, but I don't expect that will come up much since I leave this in my car. Digital camera Review: Charges but does not sync iPhone 3G
Summary: 3 Stars
The enclosed cable charges my iPhone 3G through the PowerJolt car adapter as well as the Apple original 'cube' wall charger. Unlike the Apple cable, it does not sync my iPhone with iTunes on my Win XP laptop: 'itunes could not connect to the iphone because an invalid response was received from the device'. I would only add: '...over the Griffin cable', the Apple cable works fine. Disregard the Griffin claim that the cable syncs and don't charge through your laptop USB (unless you don't mind the error each time you plug in) and you will be happy; The PowerJolt works.Digital camera Review: Works like expected
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little concerned it might not work with my 3G iPhone because the description only references the first generation (1G). Rest assured, it works fine with the newest 3G iPhones. Best yet - and this is the reason I bought it - the cable is USB and can be unplugged from the adapter. This allows me to use plug in another cable, in my case the cable for my Jawbone II Bluetooth headset, and change it as well. Two devices, two cables, and only one adapter is a great thing.
Quality seems to be just fine. Take reasonable care of it, don't abuse it and I doubt you'll have any problems.
Digital camera Review: Good but there is something wrong with my car!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product. Does exactly what it says it does. But if you are like me and hear a buzz when you try to charge your iPhone or iPod while playing music then your car is grounded improperly and requires the addition of another product called a ground loop isolator. They have them here on Amazon but I also heard Radioshack sells them but shop here on Amazon bacause of the larger selection. But other than that it's a great product. Charges my phone really fast.
