In the Box:
The car charger comes in a white box that is branded with RavPower on it and has the basic features printed on the box. When you open the box, there is a plastic case that you slide out and the car charger sits in the plastic case. The car charger also is wrapped in the a small plastic bag. Along with the car charger, you get a user manual.
First Impressions:
The car charger comes in two colors, black or white, and I got the white one. The car charger fills very sturdy and the flat sides give you a good grip on the product.
Review:
Very nice product. The car charger fits right in my 12V power outlet in my car and it's very snug inside the outlet. If you want to get it out, you are going to have to pull hard. One thing that I didn't like at first was that there was not a power light but when I plugged it in my car, I found out the power light is internal. It lights up the USB ports which I think is a very smart idea. I have a Moto G (1st Gen) and the car charger took 3-4 hours to charge my phone to 100%. This is a very nice product for people who need a great quality two port USB car charger. Another great product from RAVPower.
just like what i saw from dx http://www.dx.com/p/car-cigarette-p...w-dual-usb-for-cell-phone-white-12-24v-298612 ,car charger is so convenient for people in the car ,never concern about battery die out

I received one of these as a 'for review' unit but there were no under the table deals involving a positive review in exchange.
This charger's distinguishing characteristic is that it comes with two 5V/2A ports and another two 5V/1A charging ports for a total of four. Unlike most USB chargers that try to be all things to all people and provide one 'Apple-optimized' and one 'non-Apple' port or one 1A and one 2A charging ports, therefore making them into 'single port' chargers most of the time, you can actually use all four ports to charge perhaps two phones and two tablets at the same time and this is a good thing.
For your money you get the charger body that comes with a status light and non-foldable prongs that plug into standard AC outlets. You supply the USB cables. The 2A outputs are better suited for the larger devices such as tablets but I found that it charged our phones as well. It even charged our HP Chromebook 11 which is happiest when it gets 3A but accepts anything from 1A up to 3A.
I can't think of no 'negatives' for as long as you are not looking for something 'small' or 'portable' in which case you should be looking elsewhere.
The price is so cheap!
This was sent to me for review. A very professional correspondence with amzdeal who have clearly created a great product and want to let the world know about it. There was no pressure to write a positive review.
Firstly, I should say that I would have given the product 5 starts were it not for the arrangement of the charger. The charger could be certainly be smaller. As it is, it sticks out from the wall by a few inches which means that it won't fit behind a nightstand. If the prongs were on the side of the device, the charger could sit more flush with the wall. As it happens, I don't have a nightstand and I normally leave my phone and tablet charging, beside my bed, on the floor. With this style of charger, I can actually rest my phone on top of the charger instead of the floor!
The charger has 2x2A and 2x1A USB output. This allows me to charge my tablet and both mine and my wife's phone, all from the same wall socket. I actually put my phone into a 2A output and it chargers just fine, at double the speed.
The led light indicates when the charger has power, i.e. my bedroom switch for the nightstands is on. It is a very useful feature.
I have been using it daily for 2 weeks now and am confident of its quality build.
In summary, a very good product but not for use behind nightstands.
This is a review of Inateck's 36W 5-port USB Desktop Charger. http://www.inateck.com/inateck-uc5001-5-port-usb-family-sized-desktop-charger/
This is my first time with an Inateck product and my initial impression is Quality.
I received their new 5 port Smart USB charger and have spent about 1 1/2 weeks testing it and putting it through its paces. More on performance later. For now... Initial impressions:
The product arrived in a clean, easy to open, minimalist package. Under the outer sleeve is an unassuming, cardboard box, with a slide in type closure and bent/molded cardboard for packing.
The outer sleeve contains all the usual information:
The Packing:
Included:
My initial impression was both good and bad. The bad however, was quickly assuaged. The unit is relatively small, no doubt due to the transformer being in an external power supply. That was my initial "bad' feeling; the charger comes with a laptop style power supply:
At first I thought "UNGH! A laptop charger?!" but shortly I realized the genius of it. By not incorporating the transformer/converter in the unit itself, nor in the plug, give you a smaller more svelte desktop component and the plug fits in a crowded outlet and doesn't fall out due to its own weight.
The outside of the unit is plastic and includes an on/off button and a single blue LED. The LED lets you know the charger is on. This is a nifty light that lets you know it's powered, but really only would only be useful if you plugged your device in and it didn't charge. The charger has 3 1A charging ports and 2 2.1A ports. This configuration suggest it was designed more for Apple than Android since apple iPhones/iPods use 1A and iPads use 2.1... BUT they work well with android also. My phone (Nexus 4) uses 1.5 maximum amps for charging and charges in both the 1A and 2A ports, slower and faster respectively. Most android tablets are also 2.1 amp so the 2 higher ports work for them also.
I have charged my devices a few times and can say that this little beauty works as advertised. I have charged 5 items at once and it didn't even get hot! I charged my: iPod 4th gen, iPod 5th gen, Nexus 4 phone, Nexus 7 tablet and my Jaybird X Bluetooth headphones all at the same time and since my phone was on a 2.1A port all items charged within their normal charging limits.
One of the best features of this charger is that it doesn't have designated ports for certain items.. I can charge anything in any port (as long as the amperage agrees ) So I don't need to fuss over what goes where.
All in all the only complaint I have is a small one: I wish they'd used rubber feet on the bottom of the unit to prevent it sliding around, but since I can pick up a set of small rubber buttons for a buck at my home store, it's really not a big issue. I can definitively say that this Inateck 36W 5-port USB Desktop Charger is ONE of the BEST chargers I've ever used. I keep mine on my nightstand, and I can keep 5 devices charged and not need to unplug my alarm clock! :laugh:
They are on sale at Amazon right now also!
Questions & Comments are welcome, as always!

Ordered one, definitely a great choice for lots of charging ports at such price.
This is the external battery that everybody should have! No need to have any cables or wall adapters with this one!! I’ll explain later.
When you open the box, you are first greeted with a “Thank you for your purchase!” card. Beneath that is the battery in a plastic wrap. The entire battery is in a plastic molding. Once you pick up the battery and plastic molding, you find a warranty card, an instruction manual, a micro-USB to mini-USB adapter, and a micro-USB to Samsung pin adapter. You also find a 2-ft long micro-USB cable and a neat carrying pouch. The carrying pouch is so great, you’ll love it as soon as you touch it.
First Impressions: It feels REALLY nice in your hands. It feels so premium and high-quality. The product has a really nice matte-finish with a brilliant black color. I fell in love with it immediately. It has a built-in wall charger to charge the unit, so no need to carry an extra wall adapter. Also, it has a built-in micro-USB cable, so you also don’t have to carry a cable with you. If you want to charge another device, there is a port at the bottom that is covered with a flap that you can easily access to charge your second device. You just plug in the wire and plug it into your phone and BAM: it’s charging. The built-in micro-USB cable charges at 2.1A and the port at the bottom outputs at 1A. The battery has a button in which you press to have four LED lights light up that tell you how much power the battery has left.
After using the battery for some time, I noticed that if you pick it up with oily hands, the battery will get oily stains. You can easily wipe them off, but it is just a little heads-up. I like how it is scratch-free; that is a huge plus. When you plug in your device with the cable that is built-in, it is a little awkward stacking your device on the battery at first because you’re afraid of breaking it. Eventually you get passed that, but it is a small complaint. After the cable is bent a certain way for a while, it forms to that shape. Luckily, when you put the cable back in the battery, it is formed back to its straight shape. In other words, the cable is malleable. I like how they’ve packed in 9000mAh in such a small form factor. I don’t like how big it is, but I can’t complain since it has a built-in wall charger AND micro-USB cable! This battery is pretty great!
Recently I’ve been loving this over my other batteries because I can just throw this in pocket and I’m good to go. No need to carry anything else to use the battery or to charge the battery. This would be great for students, people that work, just about anybody that owns a phone or tablet!
Overall, this battery is awesome! The fact that the wall charger and micro-USB cable is built into the battery is awesome. Along with the fact that it has an amazing build quality and form factor, it’s pretty awesome! I highly recommend this if you want a battery but don’t want to carry so many extra things around with it.
I was provided a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.
Unfortunately, I cannot post the link to this product on Amazon because posting commercial links is forbidden, but you can find it on Amazon by searching for the product's name that is in the title of this thread. Thanks!
Disclosure: I received a free unit from JDB for my honest, unbiased review.
I have included photo's of the item in its packaging and out. I am a big fan of easy to open packaging, and in this case, JDB didn't disappoint. It was packaged attractively (if that is possible), and quite easy to open and access the charger. I mention this because I cannot believe how many times I have damaged a new item simply because of the difficulty in opening the package. Not the case here.
As the pictures show, the item looks as you would expect it to look. It is well built of a very lightweight plastic but feels very solid. I do not anticipate it separating or splitting apart. You can very easily fit it into your front pants pocket should the need arise. The charger plugs easily into your cars cigarette lighter and fits perfectly. It's small enough that I had no issue popping it in and out of my Honda Accord's lighter. As the photo's show, there are 4 ports in the charger: 2 - 2.4 amp and 2 - 1 amp. I had no difficulty using all four. Because my primary device is the LG G4, I used the 2.4 amp port the most. The charger does what it is supposed to, did not get hot to the touch at all, and worked without issue. While plugged in, the charger's side logo lights up blue.
Pros: Small footprint. Lightweight. Convenient to carry around. Lights up when receiving power. 2 power options, 4 ports total.
Cons: Honestly, I have not found any as of yet.
In case anyone is interested, here is the link to the product on Amazon. It is offered in black and white. http://www.amazon.com/Car-Charger-U...l+Chargers+Auto+Cigarette+Adapter+Car+Charger
I hope this helps any prospective buyers. For the money, I think this is a very solid choice.
What VPA/Car charger do you guys recommend for the Note 10?
Thanks
Bump
yeah I'm looking for a good one that will charge like the 45watt wall charger. does something like that exist?
What about this?
I bought one of these last winter for my note 8. Shouldn't it work well?

I'm probably not the only person who traded in their Google pixel for this phone. I have the Belkin recommended 15 watt charger from my pixel days, I'm assuming that would give a underwhelming performance.

Fast car charger
I purchased the Vanmass from Amazon... when I purchased it, it was about $39, which is a little pricey, but it works great!
It's two side arms automatically close when you press your Note 10 or Note 10+ against the back of the charger. Charger attaches securely to your air vents, so there's no need to use suction cups. It also has two clear legs which support your phone, and they display red lighting when you first insert your phone, and the lighting changes to blue when it begins to charge, making it very easy to quickly see if your phone is being charged or not!
The mount also has a built in battery, so unlike some other "automatic close/open" car mounts, this one doesn't stop working when you shut your car off! It charges the battery inside the phone mount, so even if you turn your car off before removing your phone, you can still tap one of the two buttons on either side of the car mount, and the plastic side grips will automatically open for you, to make removing of your phone a breeze!
Well built, quality...
One negative... it doesn't come with a car charger that goes in the cig lighter, so you'll need to pick up a fast charger as well... I found one for about $8.
What about:

The updated Vanmass car charger comes with the lighter adapter and after the 30% coupon, it came to $42
Doesn't the Note10+ support PD3.0 up to 25W(45 with PPS enabled devices)?
