This solar powered device is great if you need to carry around a spare source of power. On a full charge which can take more that the time stated aprox 5 -10 days, of course dependent on the sun, it will charge my galixy s 2 up between a third and a half, which gives me about half a days use of the phone. The usb cable supplied will charge the phone despite it telling you not to use it. A great product does what it says.

Good for charging phone usb charging good solar charging takes a long time maybe not enough sun.

The product is perfect for its size, reliability and works as expected. I can charge a large range of devices thanks to its universal USB output and is very easy to charge through its micro USB cable. No need of heavy appliances to carry on. The only "but..." is that it's not for IPAD2 as included in compatibility tab. The output of 500 mA is not enough, it should be 2100 mA. I hope to find a solar charger with an output of 5V and 2100mA, I would buy it immediately.

This product would be perfect if it wasn't for one problem. It doesn't charge via micro usb. This means it is neccessary to carry around the supplied usb charging cable for topping up. There are no spares available in scosche's cable selection on their website either. Shame, it looked like a great product but no micro usb charging is a deal breaker for me.

This would be a great little product if it wasn't for one problem. I doesn't charge via micro usb. This means needing to carry around a dedicated usb charging cable to top up. Nowhere in scosche's extensive cable selection are spares available either.

This charger is perfect for me. It is smaller than it looks in the pics (about 3 3/4 x 2 inches)which is a bonus. I attach it to my rucksack using a small luggage type lock when on holiday and it is always ready when I need it. Since I don't own a car the additional suction cup attachment is used to attach it to the corner of my bedroom window which keeps it charged without taking up a valued USB port. Highly recommended!
