By Joern- Sparky

After trying some cheaper ones with just one outlet that failed with the first use, i tried this one. It works fine charging several devices. Cons are the flimsy connection of the wall plug and the fact that it sparks everytime i plug it into the wall or remove it!(read more customer review)

By Andrew Coven- This cable is great, if you use it right...



You're looking at this cable because you've got yours and your spouses' iPhones, or your iPhone and iPad, and you need to charge both at once, and you don't want to take two power plugs and two cables with you.

Right?

Great. This cable will do exactly what you need. But you need to know a few usage tips that have snagged what happened to these negative reviewers.

1) iPad 2nd and 3rd generation requires more power to charge than the small little square two-prong USB plugs which only deliver 1.1A. (Such as this one: Apple USB Power Adapter (Newest Version) [Retail Packaging]) You have to use the small brick that delivers 2.1A or greater that came with your iPad 2nd or 3rd gen or iPhone4S. iPhones WILL charge on the 1.1A. It's very hard to read but look at the small print on the charger and make sure it says 2A or greater. Here's one: Genuine Apple Branded iPad / iPad 2 / iPhone 4 /iPhone 4S 10W USB Power Charger Adapter (Plug)

2) If you're charging two devices, use the small brick that delivers 2.1A. The 1.1A will not always have the juice for both when you split it.

3) If you need to sync a device, you can use this cable, just make sure you use the port that has the little "sync" icon and not the "lightning" icon.

4) Both plugs WILL charge two devices. There is no magic of the "lightning" plug versus the "sync" plug AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ENOUGH AMPS (see point 2.)

5) The port plugs LOCK INTO THE DEVICE. You HAVE to PINCH THE SIDES TO REMOVE THEM. Don't muscle it off. This is a safety mechanism that has kept my phone from hitting the floor when accidentally pushed off the end of the table MANY times. It's a FEATURE.

6) The port plugs ONLY GO IN ONE WAY, with the "icons" facing the same way as the BACK of the phone. They will not fit any other way, DON'T FORCE THEM.

7) The total cable length is just over 3 feet. So don't plan to use this with a floor plug and a high desk, but plugged in on a desk or end table connected to the wall works fine.

If you do these steps, you will have a delightful time with this cable and it will give you years of great service as it has us!

Cheers,

...Andrew (read more customer review)
By John C. Gettler - Works to charge an iPhone 4 and iPad at the same time.
I haven't had any trouble with this. For many nights it has successfully charged an iPhone 4 and iPad from one AC wall charger. (read more customer review)

By Dark Maven "Euphrosyne" - May need expert help to use this!
I received this device promptly and was immediately disappointed. I had purchased this to use at work where power outlets are at a premium. Nothing I could do would make it fit into either my iPhone 3GS or my iPad2 I tried both the sync end and the charge end on both devices and just could not get them to fit. I was very worried that I had just wasted my money and was repackaging it to return it when our IT guru came in to work on one of our terminals in the nurses station. I showed it to him telling him I had thought I. Figured out a solution to my iPhone/iPad problem. He asked to look at my phone and the cord and handed them back ATTACHED
WARNING: the icons on the terminals of this device are ON THE BOTTOM. They are NOT on the top side as with Apple OEM devices. Had I flipped them over they would have worked immediately. He said he only tried it because he had seen this one time before. So...before you return them as not fitting your device, turn them over! No where does it tell you that in the packaging or on the device.(read more customer review)

Customer Reviews 

By SG (USA) - It doesn't work
This product doesn't work. Contacted the seller - they replied as follows and it still doesn't work
after I followed their instructions. The JPGs are in DCIM directory (which is where my
Pentax writes its files to - so that definitely is not an issue). My laptop does see
the files in the SD card. I simply cannot get my iPad to see the files. My iPhone4S
doesn't even recognize the accessory. (read more customer review)

The seller seems sincere but sadly the product for me doesn't work and they are not accepting
the product back. If I could, I would give ZERO stars and I rarely like to give a negative
rating. Sadly I am not left with any choice here. (read more customer review)

The product works and the customer service team is awesome. I would indeed suggest this product and to work with there team whenever needed (read more customer review)

By kenneth- Using 5in1 adapter with SD card as external storage
I have an IPAD 2 with 16GB. Can I use this adapter to set up a Micro SD card such that I can offload items off of the internal storage to the SD card? For example I download digital comics. I'd like to offload them once I read them to free up memory for more comics. Is this possible with this adapter?

Is there some other way I can use this or some other adapter to set up an external storage device to offload items stored on internal memory? (read more customer review)

By Mark L. Neuman- Not worth the four bucks
Very cheap. Hard to seat the connection while in the case. That could be a case issue. The 5 in one is actually more like 2 in one. USB and flavors of SD. You must have a folder called DCIM, it will only look for that folder - that is very limiting, but I can live with it. It says it will read JPG and TIFF files. Once I got it to recoginze a jpg file. Most of the time it would not recoginze any photos at all. I tried the usb and the sd card. The one file it did recogize was on the sd card. The same photo on the usb card was not recoginzed. I tried changing the name and still wasn't recoginzed. Tried other photos on both the card and usb and none were found. Plugged them into my iBook and all were found right away. Tried to use this adapter with my iPad and it reports nothing there. I tried to find the same photo it found before on the sd card and it could not find it. I deleted it and readded it to the card and it still could not find it.

Too bad this had the potential to be very handy. As it is, it is a complete waste - thank goodness it was cheap.

On the other hand it came fairly quickly given it was coming from China. (read more customer review)

Customer Reviews
 
I purchased two of these planning to leave one at home for my daughter's PC, phone, kindle, etc, and use then other for travel. My husband and I can charge both phones, his bluetooth headset and my iPad using only one outlet. The product works wonderfully at home, transforming a single outlet into many surge-protected outlets, plus the USB charging capability. However, the first time I used one for travel, the grounding plug separated from the rest of the device while in my suitcase. I guess if you kept the package in which it was shipped, or always bubble-wrapped it when you travel, this might not be an issue. But definitely don't just toss it into your suitcase and expect it to remain in one piece.(read more customer review)

 By Randall Narayan- Compact surge protector that is great for travel

I bought this surge protector to charge my smartphone and other devices during travel.

Pro's:
-The USB ports on the top of the device have been a great plus for charging my smartphone.
-Compact design makes it easy to fit into a backpack or suitcase, but it is still too big to consider putting in my shoulder bag.
-Rotating plug allows it to fit into any outlet

Con's:
-The plug does not sit flush against the wall, making it difficult to plug devices in without unplugging the whole surge protector from the wall.
-The USB outlets are low power, so it will take a long time to charge a smartphone with it (at least overnight for 100% charge). Also, the power output from these USB ports is too low to charge devices like the Flip video camera. I charged the Flip camera in this overnight for a trip to the San Deigo Zoo. When we got to the zoo the next day, the camera ran out of batteries immediately. When we returned to the hotel, we discovered that the power from the USB ports is insufficient to provide any charge to the camcorder. (read more customer review)

By Bill from Mountain View "chinacatdawg"- Will not charge an iPad

It's not very small and the USB sockets will not charge my iPad. That's one of the things I bought it for so I have to rate it pretty poorly based on that. (read more customer review)

By William Costley- Charges iPad faster than the stock charger

This item includes a wall plug adapter, a cigarette lighter adapter, and a sync/charging cable that works with various Apple devices (such as the iPad, iPhone, and most iPod models). The advantage to this particular set is that the charging port puts out 2.1 amps, which means that it is designed to charge the iPad at the same rate as the adapter that is packaged with the iPad. Some reviewers on Amazon and elsewhere have reported that it actually charges the iPad slightly faster than the original adapter, and I confirmed with my Kill-a-Watt that the Griffin actually draws about 10% more power from the wall than the stock adapter (see details below). I do not have the tools to accurately check the current draw from the cigarette adapter, but I wouldn't be surprised if it also charges an iPad more quickly.

STOCK iPad ADAPTER:
When first plugged in: 11W
After a few seconds: 10W
Above 80% charge: 9W

GRIFFIN POWERBLOCK WALL CHARGER:
When first plugged in: 12W
After a few seconds: 11W
Above 80% charge: 10W

The cable packaged with the Griffin chargers works not only as a charging cable, but as a sync cable as well; i.e. you can use it to connect your Apple device and your computer to sync data between them. If you have an iPad, it WILL charge as well--although the iPad screen will probably say "Not charging" and the charge rate will be much slower (.5A from most USB ports, compared to 2.1A from the wall or cigarette lighter).

The Griffin chargers are light but seem well built. The wall charger, although longer than the stock iPad charger, is only slightly thicker but not as wide (see my customer image), and it also has a folding plug. So it has a nice form factor that is just as convenient for travel as the original adapter. I just measured the cable (albeit roughly, since I don't have a tape measure handy) and it's about 42 inches long. I think it's about the same as the OEM cable that comes with the iPad.

This set is also available at the Apple store, so obviously Apple endorses this set of Griffin chargers for their own products. However, it is considerably cheaper here on Amazon.(read more customer review) 

By rjgsphinx - Charges a Kindle 2 

I have tried several of the USB wall chargers and none have been able to charge my Kindle 2. This one has charged everything I have tried it with. I really like the folding prongs on the wall charger, makes it easier to pack. I also like that this package gives you the ability to charge both in your hotel and in your car, all with the same USB cables.

I travel with a Kindle 2, a Blackberry, and a Ipod Touch. It works with them all. Additionally, one of my friends has the Ipad and I confirmed it does charge the Ipad in a reasonable time frame.

The light is not annoyingly bright like some other USB chargers, but easy to see.

My only wish is that the wall charger had multiple USB ports, but not dividing the current may be why it charges the Kindle.  (read more customer review) 

By Sam I Am - Works great for iPad, iphone 4 and itouch 4th generation
Finding a decent charger for Apple's newest products is not as simple as you think. All of the products above require newer more powerful chargers and most older ones will not work at all. In addition, the cheap newer copies are hit or miss and you really can mess up your i-product. This Griffin charger works great and charges quickly with no annoying messages popping up on your device. The company is very respectable. The conversion from wall to car is handy for traveling and the cord is long but not too long. . Highly recommended(read more customer review)

Customer Reviews

I was _very_ pleasantly surprised about this product. It properly charges an iPad/iPad2, which is something most other charges in this price range fail to do. And in addition to that, you can charge multiple things at once? Win/win.

The setup is also great, the USB ports are all nice and close together so it takes up very little room once all is said and done.

The only downside is the crazy bright blue LED, which I quickly put a bit of tape ove (read more customer review)


By fizassist  - Works great!

Based on current measurements with my kill-a-watt meter, this is capable of charging at 2 amps (5v usb) on a single port (not just 500 mA per port). Great deal and a compact package (read more customer review)



Purchased to use on a trip where we were taking 3 phones, 2 nooks and Android pad that all need
higher charge rates.

It worked well putting out the required amps but there are 2 bright blue LEDs on the charger that
are way annoying if you are trying to use the charger in your bedroom.

I had to put a pillow over the charger to keep from going blue LED crazy. (read more customer review)
