VERY Fragile
It worked when I got it. I then put it in my pocket for a few minutes and the very cheap jack where the cable plugs in broke.

GREAT LITTLE DEVICE!!!!
Light and compact. Charges to 75-85% in about 10-15 mins. Has a nice built-in flashlight. An added bonus and useful in the evenings while, camping, hiking, cycling, etc.

Great Charger
The Turbo Charge Portable Charger worked perfectly with my iPod Touch 2nd Gen device. I used it while traveling two weeks in Asia and it worked great.

Does not work with iPhone 3G/3GS
When I plug it into my iPhone 3G or my 3GS with iPhone OS 3.0 software, it tells me that charging via this device will not work. Save your money.

Meh…
Despite the assertion in Amazon’s title, this product is *not* designed to work with the iPhone, as you’ll find if you Google reviews on it.

Poor Build Quality and Puzzling Blue Flashlight Effect
Bought two of these to power our Ipods on a long overseas trip. One never worked. The other requires an occasional slap to get it going. Bottom line it’s poorly engineered.

Seems to work great
So far so good, except that the product description states that it comes with a carry case (deluxe even). I purchased two units and neither had a case in package.

Product didn’t work
My unit never worked properly. If I jiggled the connector just right it would start charging the iPod for a few seconds, but then it would stop.

works but not built well
When I got this it didn’t even work, until I banged it against the table once and it turned on. It is really cheaply made.

I like it but…
The Turbo Charge works great, but the on/off button can be turned on too easily. When mixed in with my travel bag, it was accidental turned on and I lost use of that set of…
