4.0 out of 5 stars Powerful 2.1 AMP / 10 Watt per Port Charger Charges 2 high AMP Devices Simultaneously April 29, 2013
By S. Singh VINE™ VOICE
Amazon Vine™ Review (What's this?)
The 2.1 AMP chargers give you the charging power of your iPhone wall outlet chargers on the go. Initially, I scoffed at the price for these high AMP chargers and bought a 1 AMP car charger. Since my ride to work in less than 20 minutes, I would probably get 10% more charge off the 1 AMP charger, but with this 2.1 AMP charger, I manage to juice up about 25%. The really cool part of this charger is that I can pull out the USB cable and continue charging my phone via my laptop USB port.

The charger is similar in design to the Griffin PowerJolt Dual Universal USB Car Charger for iPhone, iPod, PDA, Cellphone, MP3 - robust construction but bulky, though I am unsure of the need of such a large case (almost 2x) when Scosche has managed the same in a slimmer profile - SCOSCHE usbc202m VOLT c2 - Dual 10 Watt (2.1A) USB Car Charger - Car Charger - Retail Packaging - Black

The charger has a dull blue bezel which keeps lit when the charger is plugged in. I prefer this for night driving over the single LED. I also like the new low-profile negative (outer) terminal design. No more accidental snagging and ripping the terminal out of the charger. It also helps with a smoother insertion and removal from the power outlet.

The lightning connector is well designed and fits most cases without any issue (check images above)

At current market prices this slightly bulky dual 2.1 AMP USB charger is better value than any other single 2.1 AMP USB charger.

Pros:
* 2 USB Port with 2.1 AMP / 10 Watts per port
* Solid feel to the product. Well built and sturdy parts - charger, cable and lightning connector
* Included USB Lightning cable
* Fast charging - almost as fast as a wall outlet charger. Approx 2.5 hours for a full charge
* Well designed lightning connector fits most cases without any issue

Cons:
* Pricey at $35 - but not too expensive at current market rates for a dual (or single) 2.1 AMP charger with a reliable, detachable Lightning cable
* Bulky design
* The charger has a dull blue bezel that remains on when the charger is connected. It seems inefficient to power the gremlins. I have old USB car chargers that turn-off when a device is not plugged in, light up Red when charging and Green when fully charged - I paid less than $10 for those chargers
* For a car, I prefer a coiled cable like this one, just keeps things compact - Griffin Tech PowerJolt SE Coiled Lightning Car Charger for iPhone 5, Touch 5G, Nano 7G

5.0 out of 5 stars OEM Apple Battery -- BE NOT AFRAID! May 22, 2013
By Brenden Espanola
Amazon Verified Purchase
This battery is identical to the one that I pulled out of my iPhone 5! I've had it for a year now, and it's starting to wear down, so I looked to Amazon to find a replacement!

Installation wasn't too tricky, although you have to be extra careful not to damage any of the internal components. The new battery makes it as if I just took the phone out of the box!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great screen protector! November 6, 2012
By Natalia Portier
Amazon Verified Purchase
Before I bought this protector, I read some reviews saying that there were air bubbles problems, and that the feeling of the screen was weird. I dismiss both of those statements. Firs, make sure you are applying your screen protector in a high humidity area (like bathroom with running hot shower), it will help to settle dust in the air, so it doesn't lay on your screen after you cleaned it. Next, make sure to clean your screen very very well (turn it off to see better) with the enclosed cloth. Only then remove protective film from side 1 of your screen protector. Make sure not to touch sticky side with your fingers. Apply starting with one corner (I started with bottom left to make sure the home button fits perfectly). If you do like I said - in the damp steamy room, you won't have any bubbles to remove. At least I didn't.
Feeling of the screen is different only the first time of using - for like a second. Hope this helped!

5.0 out of 5 stars First authentic iphone 5 car charger certified by AT&T January 9, 2013
By JD
This charger is the first one I settled for after the lightning cable was released by Apple when they launched the iphone 5. Has an extra port so if you have a micro or old iphone 30 pin cable, you can also use that. Very happy so far. I used the white lightning cable in the car but it is short. The car charger cable is coiled and can exten up to the rear, so that makes the life a bit easier.

4.0 out of 5 stars Outstanding protection with definite drawbacks - UPDATED September 24, 2012
By Gabriel Marcial
Product Packaging:Retail|Color Name:Black
Review Update (5/28)

I recently switched to another case after over 7 months of hard use. Three reasons: 1) aesthetics, 2) the headphone jack, and 3)the screen protector. I've left my original review intact after the break.

Summary: While this case is no longer the best protection available for the iPhone 5, it's a great value as a solid no-frills case. This case is still compelling at its new price point despite how long its been on the market. See my original review below for more detail.

Additional Thoughts: The headphone jack issue and screen protector feel ultimately had me searching for a new case. Many of the newer cases, including some from Otter Box, are much more feature-rich and offer even better protection than this case at higher price points.

Updated Aesthetics: The utilitarian look and feel of the case turns out to have at least one major benefit: you can beat this case up without guilt. I had several major drops and bumps with this case. The result? Zero damage to the iPhone and negligible visible damage to the Otter Box rubber bumper. My newer case, while nicer to look at, doesn't tolerate wear and tear nearly as well.

Original Review (9/24)

Summary: If you're looking for the best protection for your iPhone 5 right now, this is the case you're looking for. The fit on the iPhone 5 is superb, and the peace of mind it will bring you is worth the cost of entry if protection is the utmost priority. The case makes some compromises to afford you that protection, which could be a dealbreaker if you're not totally onboard with a bulkier case. I'll detail those below.

Installation: Installation is a breeze if you've ever used an OtterBox case before (I hadn't). The best way to start is to open up the tab on the upper left corner by the volume controls, then pull the silicone bumper off the case with your fingertips. Things are easy from that point on.

Durability: Rock solid. I field tested this in NYC over the weekend, and the case acquitted itself very well. Wasn't at all worried about it, and minor bumps and the usual commuter jostling while trekking around the city were no match for this case. I haven't dropped it yet, but would be willing to bet the phone that it will survive the usual momentarily clumsiness onto city sidewalks.

Bulk/Aesthetics: These are the biggest--and related--points of contention. Much has been said about this, so I'll say this plainly: if you don't like the pictures of this case, nothing about seeing this in person will change your mind. From a usability standpoint, if you're a male wearing slim or skinny jeans, the front pocket is out of the question. Back pockets work surprisingly well, and retrieving the phone quickly is slower but still doable. If you're a female and wear skinny jeans, you'll need to carry this in your purse for sure. You'll also need to make room accordingly.

Feel: Somewhat subjective, but important enough to warrant mentioning. The screen protector that comes with the front panel of the hardshell interior doesn't quite sit flush the screen. As a result, the case takes off some of the "snappiness" of the UI. This is most noticeable when you lightly swipe the screen, since it sometimes doesn't register. Additionally, you can actually feel the screen depress slightly while working with the phone. This is less annoying than when I first noticed it, but it's still an issue I'm struggling with personally.

Headphone jack: The headphone jack is troubling, and this is where the bulk of the case works against it. Earbuds with square, 90 degree jacks (or even straight jacks that are bulkier than usual) will NOT fit on this case. The bulk of the case means that a 3.5mm that isn't straight and slim won't sit flush with the jack. This also applies for the auxiliary cables to connect to your car's entertainment system. (For reference, I'm using the Monster aux cables, which are slightly larger at the 3.5mm end.)

Lightning cover: I thought the cover for this was well done. The lightning connector sits well protected by a cover that integrates nicely with the case.

Recap/Bottom Line: This case is worth the 4 stars for the sheer amount of abuse it can withstand. The tradeoffs to usability and aesthetics are understandable, but noteworthy. If you've read this far and are still on the fence, you should probably weigh this case against a slimmer case with a separate screen protector.
