Review of Monoprice USB Cradle with HDMI out w/pics!!! - General Accessories

This is a review of Monoprice USB Cradle with HDMi output: http://www.monoprice.com/Product/Index?p_id=10255
Following my review of Monoprice Car Cradle, here comes USB Cradle with HDMI output. And guess what? This one is another re-branded KiDiGi product. BUT the advantage is that buying from Monoprice will give you 1 year warranty
The functionality of this cradle is very simple: to charge up the phone and to have it's video output on your HD tv. Basically it has built-in MHL adapter which converts video output from the phone to HDMI output. It's already has a built in 11-to-5 pin micro usb adapter, so you just plug'n'play. Similar to their car cradle, they promise operation with and without a case while using a removable spacer. Here is a scoop, it doesn't work with any case unless you use a thin flip cases where the back of it integrates with battery cover. If you think you can stick in there N2 with Defender or UAG or even a slim TPU case - forget about it. But naked it goes right in and does a job perfectly!
The package, which btw has awesome presentation, comes with 1A wall charger and removable micro-usb cable. Using this charger/cable connected directly to a phone yields a perfect 2A charging on my Note 2, but once you connect the charger to the cradle and read the current from the phone - it only charges at 0.5A. I assume its due to conversion used to power up MHL adapter. Just something to keep in mind.
Overall, if you don't mind taking case off your Note 2 to use inside of this cradle or if you have thin flip case - this is a pretty good cradle to get your video output from Note 2 to a big screen.
Here are the pictures.

I gotta say right out the package i was impressed. The charger feels solid and well put together.
Not at all what im use to or expected for a auto charger.
You will find even if your lucky enough to have usb integration built into your vehicle for music or phone calls.This iclever 4-port USB charger is worth the money.You can pick one of these up for less then 20 bucks.while your car USB is great at but most vehicles max output is 1A. So if your like me.
Meaning I constantly have GPS running as well as music.
you know that 1A is hardly enough to maintain a charge let alone add % to your battery.iclever puts out 2.4A per usb.
Recently i went on a trip.we had the following devices connected in use and charging.
1.My note 3 running gps & playing poweramp via usb to my car system.
2.my wife and her samsung S5 connected while she browser and played candy crush.
3.my brother With a Nexus device. he was on facebook alot lol.
4.my tablet. asus tf300t i have never been able to find a charger for travel to charge my tablet. in shock and figuring i will see this iclver didnt as well. i was amazed and happy to say that charged as well with its factory cable.
that alone impressed me.
all in all i have to say a great product worth the $.
you can find the iclever on amazon

Review of iClever 4-Ports Car Charger w/pictures

This is a review of a car charger from iClever - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VK1NHVC
I’ve been in a numerous amount of situations when the phone charger in the car have been occupied while running low on battery, and therefore I began to look into car chargers with more than one port. One product that really caught my eye was the iClever 4 ports car charger, and this is my review of said product.
The box the product comes in is pretty basic, and on the front of it there’s a picture of the actual product as well as the model number. The back of the box have some information on it, but it’s mainly features and specifications. Inside the actual box there’s a charger, user manual and warranty card.
So let’s move on to the actual charger, which is made out of grey aluminum and black plastic. On the front of it there’s 4 USB ports that are rated at 2,4A each, and on the other end of the charger there’s the connector that you plug-in to your 12V jack in your car.
So when it comes the charging performance, I’m surprised by how well this charger performs as it performs about as good as my regular chargers. The rate per port even with 4 devices plugged in is 2,4A according to my USB power meter, and I’m really impressed by that as most other chargers can’t handle that rate on 4 ports at a time.
So conclusion time; I’m very satisfied with this charger as it provides some quite nice features like the 4 ports. I also like the fact that the charger itself is made out of a premium material and that the charging rate doesn’t drop with multiple devices connected. Therefore, this is a product that I recommend and it’s totally a must-have.

[REVIEW] Allmaybe Incharge 6-port 60W USB charging hub

Like a lot of folks, I have a ton of mobile devices and other USB stuff. When I travel, the 1- and 2-port hubs that are included don't cut it anymore because too many hotel rooms only have a couple of convenient outlets.
The Incharge 6-port 60w hub is the kind of thing you need when you've got two outlets and a phone, a tablet, a hotspot, a backup battery, and a pair of headphones you need to charge. It's a USB hub, so it doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles, you just want it to charge a bunch of stuff at once effectively.

In that, it fits the bill. I tested mine with a variety of devices, and it had no trouble charging them all. As you can see in the photo, even with two iPads, an iPad mini, a Nexus 7, an iPhone, and an HTC One, it was still pushing out plenty of charging current.
It's compact and lightweight. The box is coated in a matte plastic finish that is pleasing to touch. It comes with a nice carrying pouch.
It's manufactured to acceptable standards and should stand up to continued use. I've come across plenty of mass-produced Chinese electronics that aren't built to Western levels of quality control, this item is. I also have an Anker 5-port hub, and this thing appears built to the same standards.
Maybe the only negative for me is that it does not have a QC-rated port. That's only an issue if you have devices that can use the QC protocol. Even then, it charges quickly.
I received a free sample from the manufacturer in exchange for an honest review. It's at a launch price of $19.99 right now but I've been told it's going up to $29.99 in June.

New Choetech 7.5W Wireless Charger (USB-C)

Hey guys, I was looking at the /r/Nexus5 Wiki for a wireless charger and found that Choetech have released an updated model. It is only $12 ($10 with promo code 4F6LFSQU) and charges at 7.5W (the original, and most of the older chargers charged at 5W).

It uses USB-C, which isn't very useful for the Nexus 5, but it is good for when you update to a new phone (even if the new phone doesn't have Qi, at least you'd have a USB C to A cable). Charging is faster than my old chargers (an old Nokia wireless charger, a RadioShack wireless charger, and a old Choetech charger) and It grips my nexus 5 pretty well, and my friends S7 didn't move at all with any reasonable amount of force. They switched to having 4 rubber strips around the edges of the pad to hold the phone, which is why it works so well with the S7's glass back. My dad's Nexus 6 works great too, despite the curved back, because the spacing of the strips ends up cradling the device. The bottom has 4 Rubber nubs to hold onto the table. They do the job but nothing to rave about. The unit is pretty thin (much thinner then all my other ones), in fact I managed to stick it in my car dock with a bit of Velcro and wirelessly charged my phone while driving. It does have an LED charging indicator on the front but I can say that it is night stand friendly, it is bright enough to let you know it is charging, without blinding at night. The only thing I dislike about this charger is that it doesn't include a power brick. Just the unit, the paperwork, and the USB C to A cable.
I'd rate it 4/5 stars.
Its not the perfect Wireless Charger, but it is the best one I've owned near this price

Question Car holder

Hello!
I am looking for car holder/charger for the phone when its folded.
any recommendations?
i'm using this ZF3 car holder and this USB A to 2 USB type C cable to power the holder and charge the phone, and it works with the phone open and closed. to hold the phone closed, i shift the "hands/grips" part of the holder so they're vertical. when the phone is opened, the "hands/grips" are horizontal. see pics below; the yellow circle and check marks identify the USB-C connections. as an FYI, Android Auto works perfectly with the splitter cable.

Been using this https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Infra...634543193&sbo=RZvfv//HxDF+O5021pAnSA==&sr=8-3 since I had a Note 20 Ultra and now with Z Fold 3. When in the car I don't use the phone unfolded since it's connected to the radio anyway so I didn't bother getting a Fold specific charger.

This one is great because it doesn't block my windshield nor my Android-based stereo screen and it wirelessly charges (the USB is from my stereo, otherwise if you don't have a 3.0 USB in your car, you can get a plug for the cigarette lighter): Nalwort Wireless Car Charger 15W Qi Fast Charge with Metal Frame Dashboard and Air Vent Phone Holder Auto Clamping Wireless Car Charger Mount Compatible for iPhone 11/XR/X, Samsung S20/S10 and More https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08C2RGJPB/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_glt_fabc_NFX3GSBPCQSCEE17YE2Y?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
