Rocketfish - Micro USB Vehicle Charger - Multi

This has been my second charger. Just after about 3 weeks the wires started to pull away from the end. Do to the design on this nodel. It doesn't have the flexibility as the next up grade model from this one. The insulation around the wires just goes in straight to the connector which is stiff. The up graded model has the flexibility around the wires. It has a year warranty and when I went in to best buy to exchange it a female employee that works in the mobile department had to go bother her manager which was on lunch at the time. He told her no that it was damaged. Well no kidding. That didn't take a rocket scientist to figure that out. Another words it was my fault best buy sells a cheap product they will not stand behind. So after explaining to the female employee in the mobile department that it was clearly a defect in workmanship which is covered under the year warranty. Now approximately it has been another 3 weeks and the same thing has happened. The only thing the charger is good for is leaving it plugged in to the phone to charge and disconnect it before you pick up your phone otherwise you'll have the insulation pull away from the connector. To top everything off the employee exchange it for me then without going back to her manager. She also said to me that she had the same charger for over a year and It's never happened to her. Whatever. Jordan the employee was very rude and didn't even say thank you after the exchange. She just walked away. That was some great customer service now.

If this charger had better durability, it would be great. Unfortunately, it does not. This is my second purchase of one of these chargers (3rd charger overall when including one replaced under BB's standard 1 year warranty) and the only reason I purchased it again was because of its price. It was on sale for so low a price that I could not resist, even knowing how poorly made this product is. It charges fairly quickly for a standard car charger and works fine when first purchased. The problem is that the plastic/rubberized sleeve that covers the wires always separates from the end of the connector that plugs into your cell phone, exposing the small electrical wires to damage. My previous charger lasted just over a year and the first one purchased lasted just under, which was replaced free of charge under warranty. I've had this current charger no more than two months and it has already begun to separate at the plug. The silver lining is that it is separating soon enough after purchase so that I will be able to get a replacement charger under warranty again.

I got this because charging my Samsung Galaxy using the USB cable and plugging it to the USB port of my car was EXTREMELY slow. It would probably charge 10% of the battery or less in 30 minutes or more. With this charger, it's WAY faster. Comparable to plugging the phone to a wall charger. I got it on sale, but still, knowing how it works I would pay full price for it. The only downside, which I did notice it was mentioned on other reviews, is that the coiled cord may be too short, but I use it only to plug my phone and leave it beneath the e-brake handle. If you have a roomy car, it may not get to the console unless the coiled cord has stretched a bit, but unless you plan on holding your phone while talking and charging it during your conversation (which is against the law, so you shouldn't do it anyways) it will work.

I googled car charger for Samsung Infuse and Best Buy came up with a $15 vehicle charger with awesome reviews. I go to Best Buy in San Antonio on FM78. They hardly had anyone to help customers. I finally got a guy to speak with me and told me he would be back to help as all they had stocked was Rocketfish (my Best Buy in Mt Vernon, WA is now the same way). The guy never came back so I found the one that fit my cell and paid $30. I plugged it in (Volvo S60) and it began charging. I drove for an hour to meet friends and my cell was only charged a couple of notches and never even reached green status, only yellow, and quickly looses what little charge it has. ABSOLUTELY WORTHLESS. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

This charger was awesome for about 2 months with lightening fast charges on the Galaxy S4. Then I went to unplug it after a trip as I always do but it was stuck. I pulled the aux jack out of my dash, unclipped it from the harness and then tried using pliers and vice grips and it still wouldn't budge. It welded itself to the aux jack. My truck is a 2011 F150 and I really don't think it's the fault of the truck rather the fault of the charger. It's junk. Very disappointed I bought two of these. Best Buy won't do anything to support this product. I'm not only out a charger but a 12v auxiliary jack as well. This not only costs me money but also time and I'm not happy about it.

This car charger is great value for money. It works perfectly and I haven't faced the 'inconsistent charging' issue many similar products present. The curled cord ensures you don't have a mess of tangled wires all over your center console, and the blue charging light is easily visible. Overall, works satisfactorily, as expected. One note: This product has a curled cord. If you plug it into the center console (between seats), the cord does stretch out but has a tendency to snap back into a curled position. If you want a charger that must cover some length, buy one without curls.

The charger did what one would want: charge electronic devices. Unfortunately, my car charger is in the armrest between the front rests, and has a slip to allow the cord to pass through. This results in cords poking straight out. Thus, if I want to actually read my phone while charging, while in the passenger seat of course, the cord needs to bend at a 90 degree angle. Over the course of 5-6 months, since the cord is not flexible it just frayed at the connection for bending bent. I'd expect a cord to be able to move around with use, this one does not.

We bought this universal charger to charge the blue tooth headset when we lost the one that originally came with it. However, we also found that being universal, it will charge our Android cell phones! SO it has been very convenient for us. We don't have to buy another charger for the car. It can get annoying having a charger for your blue tooth, a charger for you cell phone and who knows what else in your glove box. It can get confusing. Who wants to waste time on that! This works on our two devices!
