WAS the best charger I ever bought! loved the idea of a faster charge and the addtional port. When I plugged it in it bleeps to let me know it has started charging...but then bleeps again to let me know it has disconnected. As a utility worker traveling in my truck all day, all I had to look forward to was listening to my phone beeping on and off instead of charging! Did not charge my iPhone. I have tried plugging it in numerous times. Problem still there. Never had this issue with my Apple car charger...straight up garbage! For the high price I paid it should have lasted more that a couple of months!

What's great about it: Charges Ipad, Iphone and more
What's not so great: Easily pulls out of iPad 2
Charger works great I just wish that it would stay connected to my iPad 2 better than it does. If you have it charging in the passenger seat you have to make sure it didn't get pulled out all the time.

What's great about it: charged quickly
Well, I thought it worked great and loved it, especially when I'm with friends that have iPhones as well. Unfortunately, it broke when someone decided to put the back seats down and smashed the charger (no fault of the charger). Just make sure if you have rear seats that fold down that you remove the charger before someone folds the seats down ;) I'm replacing it with another because I really did love it.

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: They don't work
I bought three of these and of ALL THREE, NOT A SINGLE ONE WORKED. Called Rocketfish to see if these have a high failure rate and was told that they have no prior problems with this model. CS at RF didn't much care to hear my complaint, they just told me to take them back where I bought them. Decided to do some research on my own and found that these chargers (RF-PA455) have a HIGH FAILURE RATE. Many fail immediately out of the box, and others will work a short while and then fail. Unfortunate... I have usually found Rocketfish to be a fairly reliable brand and own several RF products. I will return these to Bestbuy, get a refund, and will find another brand to buy. I will also look to other brands for future accessory purchases due to customer service, or lack thereof, at Rocketfish.

Looked like a great product - loved the idea of a faster charge and the addtional port.
When I plugged it in it bleeps to let me know it has started charging...but then bleeps again to let me know it has disconnected. In a five mile drive it must have bleeped at me a dozen times. Did not charge my iPhone.
I have tried plugging it in numerous time. Problem still there. Never had this issue with my Apple car charger...
Will be returning.

the first one I got didn't stay plugged in at all, I had to hold it to charge. I returned it, and the second one is much better, but it does lose connection to the phone occassionally. Maybe an Apple product would work better.

What's great about it: Works great
What's not so great: Cannot differetiate front and back of plug
It works consistently; what more can you say? Very solid construction. Actually the only downside is that there is no way to tell which way the plug should go into the device while driving (ie without looking); I will be adding a bump or something to differentiate front from back.

What's great about it: Sturdy and useful
What's not so great: Feels loose in the charging outlet
This charger does what it is designed to do and it is sturdy. It has an additional USB port on the head of the unit to allow charging of another item, which could be a plus. It does not fit as snugly into my 12 volt outlet as I wish it did; I therefore always feel like it might be easily pulled out. It has not been yet, but I always think it's loose, which is annoying.

I picked this up for use in the car for both my iPhone and my iPad and have had no complaints. My husband uses it for his iPhone as well. Neither of us has had an issue with it not attaching properly, conflicting with our covers, or charging.
