This thing is fantastic. It's very compact and is comfortable to keep even in a pocket. Of course, it's not fun to keep a cable in your pocket, but there are tiny cables that you can find out there to put on your keychain and so forth. The great thing is that this can output at a maximum of 2.1A which means most tablets and smartphones will be able to charge at full speed like a wall charger, instead of just a laptop USB port. The LED indicator is also useful so you always know when to charge.
The 16GB Micro SD card is also a great addition. Of course it's not groundbreaking, but for $24.99 I couldn't complain too much about the speed. It's great for storing pictures and documents and music and video. Playing 4K videos back would likely not be an easy task from this Micro SD card because of the higher bitrates, but it could be used as backup storage for those times when your phone is running out of space.
Overall, a good product by PNY and easy to use.

I needed a portable for my galaxy s3 that wasn't slow to charge and was able to do so for more than one full charge. This product did just that. It's designed to be used for tablets, but my cell appreciates it just as much. For the price, it's definitely worth it. If I had a couple more bucks laying around to spend, the my charge is nice too, but I didn't and the. Memory card was perfect for the generic tablet i splurged on during black Friday. The only con I can think of is that when you plug your device in, you have to click the button to begin charging it.... I've had times when I plugged it in and left iit there ,not charging

This is a great portable charger. I mean it works, and charges an iPhone fully. I bought because I thought it was portable storage for said iPhone, it is not and is a media pack that just comes with a micro sd card.

I'm using this to charge my iPhone 6 while on the go. I use the Griffin 4' spiral cable (SKU 7304262). I have my phone in my front left pocket of my pants and the battery in the left rear pocket. This battery can charge my iPhone 6 from completely dead to 100% charged. Something the smaller 2600mAh PNY power pack COULDN'T do (it could take the iP6 from dead to about 82%). For the price, you can't beat this battery. I love never being tied down to charge my phone! I don't have to leave it in the car charging or anything - 100% portable. I'd recommend this product and I'd buy it again if needed.

This is only good for emergency re-charging if you plan to use it within maybe 10 hours after a full charge. After my phone's battery was down to maybe 6%, I plugged in this battery pack (that I fully charged the night before) and was only able to get my phone up to about 28%...so I'm guessing the battery pack lost some of its charge from the time I unplugged the battery pack. With the 3 blue LED lights and single button, you would naturally assume that this would be a no-brainer to operate -- Think again!! I finally deduced that the button (once depressed) is only to show the level of power left in the battery pack -- where 3 blue lights mean a full charge and no lights means it dead. There is no blue light activity while the pack is plugged into your phone, so the only way to know your phone is charging is to look at the battery status on your phone...likewise you also have to refer to your phone to know when / if charging is complete. Aside from not holding a charge for too long...its still ok for having SOME power left for recharging your phone at least. (NOTE: for the 1st month after purchase, it recharged my phone to 100% which takes about 2.5 - 3 hours.)

Purchased this recharging pack to take on a trip from VA to HI. No power outlets on the 10+ hour plane ride, and various all day excursions during our trip. Having this recharge pack allowed me to have full use of me phone/camera the whole time. Small enough to hold pack and phone in my pocket or my hand. I was able to get two full charges while using the phone. Charge time varied, but with the phone off, it recharged from the pack in about 45 min. The pack itself took about 90 min to recharge. It came with a short USB cord which I find is perfect for recharging while using the phone. A charging unit is not included so you have to use the one from your phone or connect to a computer. The one I bought came with a 16 gb mini sd card which also came in handy on our trip. I bought another for my son. Works well on android and iphone 5s. Had a little trouble using the short cord with galaxy 5 because it has a special dual connection, but it worked fine using either the Samsung cord or the one supplied with the pack. I would recommend and may buy another to have a few days worth of charge during an extended backpacking trip.

This PowerPack works better than I figured it would. I've used it several times since getting it over the Holidays, and it provides a full charge fairly quickly.
An added bonus is the 16GB MicroSD card that was part of the product. I don't use it in my HTC M8, since I already have a 64GB card in there... but it's nice having another memory card around that can be used in various items.

I charged it as soon as I purchased it, however, I didn't get to use for another two or three weeks. I was able to get 1 1/2 charges on my phone with that first initial charge. I figured I got less charges because the initial charge probably wore down after a couples of weeks. So I let my phone battery run all the way down and used the PNY with a fresh charge and I only got 2 charges out of it. So that was disappointing .
Other than not getting the 3X that they claim, it works great. It charges fast, it charges the phone fast and you can use your phone while it is charging. It is a little bulky but if it gave me the 3X it was suppose to, the bulk would have been worth it. I was impressed that I was able to get 1 1/2 charges to my phone weeks after the initial charge to the PNY. If I got 3x like they claim, I would have rated it a 5.

My son was taking a trip to Florida from Illinois and was worried that the 1 day buss trip and time in Disney World he would not have enough battery to support the long time playing and watching videos. In his words it was awesome! He lasted 2 days without having to find and outlet and recharge everything. Very Good product and at a very good price/.

I use this to charge my iPhone 6+ and Nintendo 3DS XL on the go. With one full charge, I can then charge the iPhone and 3DS fully. It is very useful. I used the 16GB memory card as 3DS memory, I can say I am getting the full value of this product.

The power pack is great, saved my life a couple of times over a very busy wedding weekend! The T5200 power pack was powerful enough to charge my Note 4 fully at least once and a partial charge a couple of times over the day. You've got to remember to hit the button on your power pack, and check on it every half hour or if you're jostling it around in pockets with a bunch of other stuff to make sure the phone is actually charging and hasn't been turned off. The product got a 4 star review instead of 5 because the micro SDHC Card included IS NOT a Class X. The employee who sold me the product in the store said it was. No where on the packaging does it mention anything about the micro SDHC card except for its capacity 16GB. Class X SD Cards are only compatible with my Note 4. Given that the product was on sale, and I ended up using the micro SDHC Cards as well in some older products this is still a good buy!

We gave this to my son for Christmas and he loves that he has the extra power if he needs it. It was a great price for the amount of charge available. It is a bit bigger than some out there, but you can't beat the price.

I use my iPhone and iPad all the time while traveling. Having a power pack to add the extra juice I need is great and this one has just the right punch for a great price. Just as good as the Mophie for much less.

Nice light weight battery with Bonus 16GB SDHC card. Great value for price. I found that these batteries work the best when you start off with 100% battery charge on the phone.

This is a great charger because unlike some of the lower powered chargers, it can fully charge a cell phone, tablet, or laptop quickly. The micro SD card is an added bonus.

My siblings and cousins seemed to be glued to their phones for hours at a time. When away from home, this would allow them to spend more time on the various social media sites. The added micro SD card is a nice bonus from the other portable batteries I looked at, so if you're in need of both power and storage on your phone/tablet, this may be worth a gander.
