Big and bright - but that's not a good thing
QUICK SUMMARY: This Belkin iPod/iPhone charging kit does the job, so it's not a bad choice. But if you can get the some functionality in smaller, more discrete chargers, there's not much reason to choose this product.
WHAT I LIKE:
- The charging cable seems heavy-duty, much thicker (better insulated?) than the charging cable that came with my iPhone. Good for those who aren't gentle with their charging cords.
- The same charging cable has a larger plug that fits into my iPhone (the plug is maybe 1/4" longer than the plug on Apple's iPhone charging cable). This is a nice feature if you're using an Otterbox or similar case protector because it's much easier to grasp this cable's longer plug. Now I don't have a hard time pinching the plug to remove it from my Otterbox-protected iPhone.
- This set is complete. Need a cable to charge from your computer? Got it. From a wall outlet? Got it. From a vehicle 12V outlet? Got it, and the vehicle adapter can be used to power any USB device (with the right USB cable), not just to charge an iPOD/iPhone.
WHAT COULD BE BETTER:
- The wall adapter is rather big, but doesn't come with any kind of surge protection. If you're going to have a bulky wall adapter, you might as well add surge protection, too.
- The wall adapter's prongs are foldable so they don't stick out (good for transporting in a bag), but the prong tips still stick out a bit from the adapter itself (so you can later unfold the prongs), and that creates a risk the prong tips could scratch something if you're storing it in a bag. A better design would have had a niche that keeps the prongs folded and completely recessed so the prong tips couldn't scratch that new iPod Touch you also threw into your computer bag.
WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
- The wall adapter has a BRIGHT, BLUE LED light that is so bright you can easily read a book from the light it casts. I dislike BRIGHT, BLUE LED lights that are ridiculously bright. I prefer dimly lit, small, little green or amber LED lights that tell you, "Yes, the device is working," without screaming, "YES, THE DEVICE IS WORKING!". Tip: put black electric tape over the LED light. Hint: If you've plugged in the wall adapter, it's working, and if it's unplugged from an electric outlet, it's not working.
CONCLUSION: This isn't a bad choice. It could be better, though.
