As usual, this newest Inateck Charger feels like Quality. I received the unit about a week ago and have been putting it through its paces.
Firstly, the little things...
The packaging is minimal and effective. It looks nice and not cheap.
The USB-C to C plug that comes with the charger is absolutely solid. Clearly well made and not a thin afterthought. I love the fact that it has a hook and loop style cord wrap already attached to it instead of a plastic twist tie. It's little things like this, combined with reasonable prices that make Inateck a great company to buy from.
The power block has flip up prongs (US) that make it a great travel charger as well as a home unit.
It's not the full 87W that Apple's big charger is, but it's plenty fast and capable enough.
I have charged my Nexus 6P with this unit and it is indeed Power Deliver fast charging. My Chromebook and Macbook both charged rapidly as well.
This is a great unit for a reasonable price.
For just under $37 at Amazon, It's well worth it for the quality and speed alone.

Just found this while browsing wireless chargers and it looks pretty good. I've been looking for a qi charger that it also at an angle so that i can use my phone as a clock at my bedside. I didn't want to spend the $70 for the Vu angled charger and the nokia 910 i have heard some mixed reviews about. I'm not as handy with wood or 3D printing as some others on here but I sure can do a mean job at browsing thru amazon:good:'
I'd like to point out my 2 favorite things about this product. First is that it's at an angle to it lets me still view my phone while at my bedside or desk. Second is that they have put 3 charging coils inside(like the Vu) to allow for better charging when phone position would be funky or just not practical on most other Qi chargers.
well I haven't purchased it yet (due to funds) but if someone here on XDA has it then feel free to post your own pics and review.

Hi there!
I'm from Bombay, India and I just recieved delivery of the NIllkin Energy Stone this evening.
Although I did notice quite a few micro scratches to the border of the pad, they should really wrap it in plastic to avoid this.
Apart from that the time it takes to charge is really long when you compare it to you standard USB wall charger. I use a Nexus 5 with the Energy Stone and since it has 3 induction Coils it really will charge it from just about any angle you can think of it's not very fidgity which I absolutely Love!
It Looks the part with the bright Blue LEDs blazing in the background on the surface of the charging pad area(Indicating that the phone is indeed charging)
I'm still waiting to see the LEDs glow green which means the phone is fully charged. This could very well be a myth...
I had to pay the equivalent of $56 in my currency of Rupees when it actually only costs $39 on amazon!!!
All in all a good experience with this product since it's my first wireless charger ever so I'm pretty stoked about it!!!
IMHO you should go ahead and buy it no questions asked coz it works perfectly and looks proper wicked
Hey guys just here to write a review on the Lepow 6000mAh Stone Power Bank. If you'd like to see the unboxing or if reading is hard you may find my video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvN0mfV4HDA&feature=youtu.be
I'll start with the packaging. It's nice looking and simple, with an emphasis on renewable materials. It's kind of nice that they took the effort to do this, as for the price I would have imagined more of a plain cardboard box or worse, that awful plastic packaging. So there's a plus for the packaging. They even threw in a bunch of goodies, which the note inside said was because it was purchased from Amazon. Such goodies included an extra carrying bag, stickers, cord wraps, a suction pad to stick the Power bank to smooth surfaces (yes, I tried, I can stick my Nexus 5 to glossy surfaces if I wanted to =P), a stylus for capacitive screens, a screen cleaner, and a micro SD to USB adapter. It was kind of a nice extra.
On to looks and build quality. I don't get the sense of cheap here..in fact quite the opposite. It's definitely solid, which combined with the shape makes it feel good in the hands. It doesn't creak when stressed, and it certainly doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart any time soon. It's nice too look at as well. If you're into the clean modern look than you'll probably like it as well. It also comes with a flat style USB to Micro USB cable, and a fabric carrying pouch.
Without further adieu let's talk about the good stuff, performance. First off, there's two ports, one standard charge and one quick charge, which charge at 1.2 Amps or 2.1 Amps respectively. I don't own a tablet or anything, so I don't have much use for the 2.1 Amp port, but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. Both ports I tried were pretty much like charging my phone plugged into the wall. There's a handy charge remaining button which lights up 4 lights, depending on remaining charge. This is probably standard but it's still a handy thing to have. As we all probably know, the Nexus 5 has a 2300mAh battery. Being a 6000mAh power bank it performs exactly as expected. Discharging to 20% or less and charging to full with the phone on, and unplugged as soon as I noticed it finished, I was able to get about 2 and a half charges. I was left with about 68% on the remaining half charge.
So, would I recommend it? Well, considering it's 20 bucks on Amazon at the time of this writing, I'd definitely say so. Considering for that price you get a good quality power supply, with a bunch of little goodies, all of which packed in renewable materials, so you can even feel good about it. I'm happy with it anyways.
Thanks for reading!
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.
