I've had better built car USB chargers and I really like those chargers that are nearly flush with your console, but this one still gets by. It doesn't protrude nearly as much as a 'standard' charger so points there. The blue LED is cool too, and not distracting or annoying by any stretch.
NOTE that if you're charging an iPhone, iPod or iPad (I have all three) the bottom slot won't charge iPad or iPod Touch 4th gen. The top slot will however charge all devices.
This means that if you have an iPhone (up to 4) or 3rd gen iPod, you can charge using either slot. But your iPad must go into the top slot. If I had two iPads this would be a problem, but I don't so it's not :) Just consider that before you buy. I have 3rd and 4th gen iPods for my kids so I just have to remember that one has to charge in the top slot if I want to charge both simultaniously. Or if I'm charging my iPad, it owns the top slot. Whatever. You'll figure it out. Just don't buy if you're charging 2 iPads or 2 iPod Touch 4th gens. That's it. Charges fast, I'm happy I bought.

Several reviewers have said only one of the two slots will charge an iPad. It seems that the newer shipments will charge an iPad 2 in either port. I ordered one of these on April 12, 2011 (with RND Power Solutions lable), and as others have reported, only one port would charge the iPad2. Still, I liked it so much I decided to order a bunch more to give as gifts. The RND Power Solutions version is "No Longer Available" on the Amazon site. But Amazon is still fulfilling this one by XTG technology which looks identical, was available and I ordered a bunch. I tested them so I could tell my friends which slot to use with their iPads and to my surprise, the iPad2 charges on either port on the ones I've just received... so it must be a new version. I've been very satisified with it.
The iPad indicates it is charging, which is good. I have not run it long enough to know if it is charging quickly, but it seems to work. Second port will charge my phone at the same time which is handy. Build quality is adequate.
Works as advertised and charges the iPad even when it's running turn-by-turn Navigation and playing music with the screen brightness turned up - though I have not tried with a second device charging on the non-2.1A port to see if it can really handle both.
I have an iPhone 4 and a new iPad 2. I want to be able to charge both when traveling. This charger works great. I love the low profile and professional look in my dash. It seems to be well made and works great so far.
First off, they must have updated the item, because even though I ordered two of the item FROM THIS PAGE (Ultra Compact High Output...), what I received looked exactly like this other Amazon item: [...]
So, my review is actually of that other item, which was shipped to me when I ordered the one on this page.
It is well made, nice small size. The 2.1A port works with my iPad, the other port works with my 1A phones like iPhone 4.
Unlike the model pictured on this page, what I received did not have the blade fuse.
Had no trouble getting this to work. Dirt simple, just plug it in and you're charging/running with 2 devices.
I haven't yet tried it with the iPad, but we had no difficulties using one port to charge/run a TomTom car adaptor and the other to charge an iPhone 3GS.
This charger provides no power when an iPhone or iPad is attached. I tried it in two vehicles. With nothing plugged in, it glows blue so it's getting power from the car. Once I plug in the iPhone, the blue light goes out and the phone never starts charging.
works well, compact, cheap. for some reason it will not charge my phone. it charges my bluetooth earpiece (motorola h680), charges my ipod touch, just not my phone (Sony Xperia x10). i don't know why. using the same cable that works when plugged into 110v in the house the phone does not charge when plgged into this 12v adapter. i don't know why. - Usb Car Charger - Ipad Car Charger - Dual Usb - Ipad'
