    I had never seen a fan that plugs into a IPhone before and it gives off force air to be such a small fan. I was doubt blessed by coming into the store today to get a back-up camera for my vehicle but wasn’t successful and walked around for about 40 mins to find deals and it was on clearance plus it actually it a quality item in a small package. Thank you Best Buy

    This little fan is a must-have for anyone with hot flashes! It is compact, nice airflow, and better than the pocket fan I used to carry. Doesn't use a lot of your phone battery and is easy to use. The only thing I would change is the hard plastic blades. I have whacked my fingernails a few times while trying to remove it from my phone. I am not going to complain one bit though because of the awesomeness of this little fan!

    After a friend showed me their fan and how easily it inserted into their cell phone, I went and took a look at Best Buy and bought one for myself and a few more as xmas stocking stuffers. I found the product to be handy since most individuals tend to carry their cell phone with them most of the time. Easy to use, small enough to easily carry with you, or store in a car, etc. Fan generates a good amount of air for very UP CLOSE use. I see females (teens on up) as using this product more than males.

    It works fairly well. I haven’t used it for an extended time so I can’t say how it is for my battery life. I do wish it had an on/off switch.

    My new best friend in hot flashing moments

    This plug in fan is the perfect gadget when I’m having a hot flash. I just plug it into my iPhone and let it whirl. It’s easy, powerful, and doesn’t interfere with any phone functions. It’s so cute and small it fits in my smallest purses. I don’t leave home without it. I get great comments from people of all ages - men and women. For some reason young girls (age 6-12) even seem to like it. I love it. It’s been a lifesaver in my hottest moments. I call it my new best friend. Thanks Plug Life for your ingenious idea! Fan on!

    These mini fans are only small in stature.They are pretty powerful (especially given their size.) I purchased the phone fans for my kids. Now I want one! Here’s a bonus...they are inexpensive. I’m going to purchase all that Best Buy has .i will keep two for myself and I will give the other as gifts. EVERYONE should have one!

    I bought this for my daughter who is in school and gets hot in her class. She just loves it. It works great for her and it's not noisy. It's not too strong but good enough for her.

    I’ve always considered getting a little fan for my iPhone, mainly for the summer. It works as expected but can sometimes get in the way if you’re also using your phone.

    Purchased this for my mother in law who gets hot easily with her diabetes. No need to carry a separate fan that always has dead batteries. Plug this into her phone and viola!

    Most of the iPhone fans I previously tried and read about were so short that they could not be easily removed without the fan hurting your fingers. These are larger.
