This is a great Desktop Charger that can complement your desk well and provide a great convenience!
In the box, you get the charger itself, the power cable, and an instruction manual.
First Impressions: This has a really nice matte finish. It is nice because it is small, lightweight, and seems like it would be very easy to carry almost anywhere. Setting it up was easy. I simply plugged the power cord into an outlet and plugged the cord into the charger. One thing I wish the charger had was a light that could let you know the charger is getting power. I also think that it would've been better if the ports were labeled with the output amperage. The only information I know is that all of the ports output 5V at the same time.
After using this for a while, I can say that this is a solid product! I plugged in two Samsung Galaxy S3's, my iPod Touch 4th generation, two external batteries, and a wireless charger. Everything that I plugged in was immediately supplied with power and the things that needed charging were immediately being charged. All of the items (except the wireless charger) were charged up in no time.
Overall, this is a great product which has a few flaws but works great.
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!
Nice specs, nice package, and looks good. But what about the warranty? I've never heard of this company, and some reviewers mentioned problems after a short time.

They have a one year warranty on all of their products, which covers manufacturing defects.
Adding to my next amazon order. Thanks for sharing!
I'm very happy that I saved this on my wish list to purchase. I believe I saw it in passing on CNET which prompted me to buy this. I charge an iPhone 6, two to three iPads, and my Pebble smart watch when needed. It's quiet and a pretty quick charge for spreading out that much power. Happy customer.

Found this guys store after a lot of searching.
You get a retractable usb which you can use to charge your evo through a computer, or included AC wall charger, or included car charger!
The deal is phenomenal but the downside is its shipping from hk.
Also I can't comment on quality of build until I receive it (ships today)
Pics look good though so let's see!
Almost forgot. 12 month warranty.
Sent from my Evo 4G
Not bad, looks like a dealextreme open box item. Deals are great and all but I don't want to trust a $1 item to control the flow of electricity to my phone.
Let us know how it works out.
I didn't either, at first..
I'll let you in on a little secret, I think that whoever makes amzer's accessories makes these too.
Notice the similarity?
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-2-in-1-U-S-Travel-Charger-Kit-P85522.htm
Exactly the same, except a blue LED instead of red..
Something to think about.
I'll keep everybody informed when it arrives =)
Just thought I'd add my .02, I ordered 2 sets of charging accessories for our 2 EVO's from a US seller on eBay. When they arrived the AC chargers would not charge the phones so you might want to be careful there's something about the charging requirements for the EVO that will not allow just any AC charger work with it. The car chargers seem to work fine, so far.

In that case I threaten to leave bad feedback, get a refund, and give it to someone else.
No harm done
Besides for 3.90something it's really not a big deal
Those things are fuggly
Those look really similar to these http://www.amazon.com/Premium-iPhon...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1278911609&sr=8-18
I bought this, and they can't charge my phone when it's on... hell I'm not even sure while it's off. It can't charge my iPhone, or my evo.
I think it's the same product.
Just recieved the stuff today (monday)
I was pleasantly surprised.
Build quality is good but not great.
Charges phone quite well!
Using ac I got from approx 96% to full in about 7 minutes.
First thing I did was check the output compared tothe stock charger.
Both are 1A or 1000mA max.
Ill do further tests later.
For now though everything has worked as expected or better.
To me it was a bargain and a good purchase ymmv..
EDIT: While turned off it charged from 15% to full in 2hrs and 40min.
About the same as stock charger, i'd say.
Has anyone tried this product?
http://www.xoomaccessoriespro.com/motorola-xoom-225usb.htm
It has both AC and car DC changing built in along with multiple tips for usage with other devices. Hope it puts out enough current to properly charge the Xoom.
Nathan
Edit: I see you can buy it much cheaper here:
http://www.jr.com/zipkord/pe/ZPK_225USB/
Also, I'm not sure that it comes with the micro-usb tip. Most likely it's just a charger, not a sync cable.
Yeah, I'm almost 100% sure that won't work. For one thing, our Xooms need 12V in, not 5, and there's no way for that two-wire charging port those plugs insert into to tell it the voltage otherwise, and most of the phones out there are 5V.
Plus, our charge port is pretty non-standard; I went so far as to go to Radio Shack and try their "tree" of AdaptaPlugs, and only one of 'em nearly fit, but was ultimately too fat. Had that worked I could have bought one of their 12V/2A supplies and attached the AdaptaPlug to that, far cheaper than $30.
Ya gotta be careful, as I'm pretty sure right now only Moto/VZ have proper charging equipment for our devices. I've been looking on Amazon, and there's been vendors selling "Xoom Car Chargers" which are merely some generic charger terminatiing in a mini-USB connector; it's obvious these opportunists have never so much as picked up a Xoom.

There was a seller on eBay sellling micro-usb chargers for the Xoom.
I actually emailed him to tell him that the Xoom cannot be charged via usb.
His response was:
"Thank you. Your opinion has been noted."
I'd take it further and report him, but I'm banking on the fact that most if not all Xoom owners know that you can't charge with the usb.

I dunno 'bout that, if what I've been reading on the fora is any indication
Yeah, I canceled my order right after I did more research online. Better to stick with the motorola supplied chargers. Lots of BS suppliers out there.
I'm looking for a car charger. I remember reading that some are more powerful than others. Any recommendations or will the Verizon charger do the job?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Since we don't know exactly what Verizon charger you speak of, you should test it yourself...
Play a video or do some other power-sucking activity on your phone while it's plugged in. If the power level goes up, you're probably good with your existing charger. If it goes down, your device is using more power than it's receiving and you might want to buy a new one that supplies more juice.
I used an OEM Motorola charger with my old smartphone, but haven't really tested it yet on my new S3. I suspect it'll be fine. It's supposed to deliver a full 1A of power, unlike a lot of others that make a similar claim. I can't post links yet, but if you look on Amazon, search for "Motorola micro-USB car charger". It usually runs between $5-7. If you do decide to go with the Motorola, buy it directly from Amazon (not a third party seller and not "fulfilled by Amazon").
Good luck!
hi , i wonder if youc an check here : http://dx.com/s/car+charger+Galaxy .
I bought this one 2 month ago http://dx.com/p/car-charger-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-dc12-24v-65167 , this product is very cheap and works lovely.Does the job. Reasonable cord length. Very useful as GPS and BT drains out the cell phone battery. Very good value for the price .
I use one of the griffen power bolt car adaptors. They are sooooo sleek. I modified it like how the pictures on amazon shows for 1amp charging. Only like $13 at walmart
At present, chargers are generally chargers. Just look at the output. If it's 5V, 1A, you're good.
There's no point in going any higher than that, as the battery won't sink that much current. 2A chargers are only useful for tablets.

I purchased this device for my trip to Glastonbury festival with the hope it would keep me going during the festival with access to my phone (HTC One M7). First comment has to be WOW!!! Not only did it fully charge my device every single day I was there (5 in total) but it still had around half of its charge capacity when I came home.
So more on the specifics;
The charger comes boxed with multiple adaptors to suit various phones/tablets but if you have the cable for your device you don’t really need these. One thing is did lack was a wall charger but that isn't really an issue as I’m sure most people will have a USB wall charger of some sort. It wasn't advertised as having a wall charger so this is by no means a negative comment more just an informative one for people who want to know.
The initial charge as some have said on Amazon is long, but what do people expect this is charging a 22400mAh battery pack, it’s going to take a while. I put mine on early evening and it was complete by the time I got up the next day. A small price to pay to have this kind of capacity in my mind.
There are 3 ports on the charger, a 1 amp usb, a 2 amp usb and a miro usb port for charging the unit up. If your device supports it, which my HTC one did the 2 amp port really does speed up the charging process.
During the festival I would charge my HTC one overnight mainly using the 1 amp port as I was in no rush at that point. There were one or 2 occasions where I wanted to give the phone a quick boost so would put it into flight mode to disable everything and then connect it to the 2 amp port. The results were stunning, I could add 20% + battery to my phone in no time enabling me to continue that day without worrying about switching data services or wifi off.
As for the size of the device some people have mentioned on Amazon, it’s going to be big, it’s a huge capacity battery. It’s not too big that you couldn’t carry it around all day in a coat or a bag. Inside your laptop bag on travels you wouldn't even notice it I'm sure of that.
The build quality is very good on this pack, it doesn't feel as cheap as some others I have used.
I’m flying with my wife daughter in July so it is going to be a good test of this charger for my IPad and phone at the same time while she watches every cartoon I can find. I will post a follow up after that trip.
All in all I would definitely recommend this device to anyone wanting a high capacity portable charger.
If anyone has any questions feel free to comment, i posted this to their Amazon page too but i thought XDA might find it useful also.

thanks for posting looks good
I'm pretty sure the HTC One M7 charges at only 1 amp. Mine (and the one I had before) takes ~4 hours to charge no matter what usb cable or ac adapter I plug it into. I usually use the Anker 40W 5 port AC adapter and the included usb cable.
Quick video review https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L3oSOH0yYgY
This is a great desktop charger that is both stylish and easy to use!
In the box, you get the charger itself, the AC power cord, an instruction manual, and a “HISCARD” warranty card.
First Impressions: This product feels very nice and looks very sleek. I can already tell this will look pretty cool while sitting on my desk and in use. Setting it up was pretty easy and simple. I just plugged the AC power cord into the charger and I was all set.
After using it for a while, I can say that it is a pretty powerful charger. I was able to charge two external batteries, a pair of Bluetooth headphones, two Samsung Galaxy S3’s, and an iPhone 5S super fast! They all were charged up WAY faster than the standard 1A chargers that are in almost every home and used by everyone. One thing that is incredible about this product is that it can output 10A total at the same time! That is a lot of power. It works great, looks great, feels great, and I don’t know what else to say, it’s a pretty awesome product!
I would highly recommend this to all of my friends that have multiple devices that need charging. I’m sure it is a hassle for them to plug their devices into many different locations and I’m sure that it would be very convenient for them to plug in all of their devices into one charger in one area. It certainly is a newfound convenience for me.
Overall, this is a great product and I highly recommend it!
I was provided a unit for testing purposes and I promised to provide a completely honest and fair review.

It really is incredible, as in not credible. 6*2.4 = 14.4 Amps, yet this charger is only 10 Amps. That doesn't add up.
Fair enough, you are unlikely to be charging six tablets all at once so wouldn't need the full output of all outlets simultaneously, but they shouldn't advertise it as being capable of that if it isn't
