 Works with my 3G IPHONE July 17, 2008

Just picked up this item from Best Buy today. Had to get a charger for my car because my IPOD interface for my stereo does not charge the 3G IPHONE. :( I was initially going to get the DLO car charger for my 3G IPHONE until the cashier told me of the Scosche USB12V2 Dual USB Car Charger. It sounded ideal since my fiance and I both have a 3G IPHONE and won't have to fight for power when riding together. Ensured that I didn't get that uncompatibility error before leaving Best Buy. Left Best Buy with 80% charge and was fully charged by the time I got home in 20 minutes.
Note: Have to use your own supplied Iphone/Ipod USB cable with adapter.
Cheap and works as advertised. But beware! January 25, 2009

This is a cheap way of charging any device that will charge via a regular USB port. I have used it in my car for several months without a problem. It did a fine job with my AT&T Tilt phone and my iPod.
Before you invest in this or any other standalone USB charger, you should make sure that your device will charge via USB cable alone. Many phones (Motorola Razr is one) these days have what looks like a standard USB connection but require special software or adapters before they will charge.
I got this for about $5 or $10 at Wal-Mart. Great investment.
Works Well with iPhone 3GS, but don't buy for Nuvi August 30, 2009

This charger charges my iPhone 3GS without a problem. It is also compact and aesthetically appealing. I bought it so I could charge a multitude of USB-powered devices and it works for everything I've tried with the one exception:
A Garmin Nuvi cannot be charged from this device. The Garmin Nuvi thinks it's connected to the USB port of a computer and goes into a computer mode when plugged into this device. Technically, the Nuvi is charging but it can't be used in the meantime. This is most likely a shortcoming of the Garmin Nuvi than of this particular charger.
a very clever and flexible solution for charging your devices in the car November 28, 2009

I wanted a car charger for my new Droid but didn't want to pay $30 at the Verizon store. I searched Amazon and stumbled on to this. I ordered it and couldn't be more satisfied with it.
The vast majority of cell phone car chargers have a non-detachable cord with a jack on the other end that plugs into your phone, and cost $20-30. If the cable or plug develops a short, you have to replace the whole thing. If you're on a road trip and have multiple devices, like a Garmin, a cell phone, an iPod, then you have to swap out the various chargers unless you're lucky enough to have a car with two or more power outlets. Even then, it's a mess with all those chargers.
This dual USB charger requires you to purchase a separate USB cable (with a standard USB jack on one end and whatever size jack you need for your device on the other end). Amazon has plenty to choose from, and they're pretty inexpensive. Or, you can simply use the charging cable that came with your device.
I find it incredibly handy to simultaneously charge my Droid phone and my iPod from one power outlet. On road trips, my wife and I can both charge our phones from one power outlet. This is very convenient. This Scosche charger appears to be very well-made, compared to other car chargers I've used. It's solid, I'd be surprised if I didn't get many years worth of use out of it.
Best of all, it is flexible enough to charge just about any device that can be charged from a USB port on a computer. I may replace my phone or get a different MP3 player in the next year or two, but I won't have to buy another car charger.
Highly recommended!
Works with my iPhone 3GS...and everything else I tried! April 26, 2010

My iPhone 3GS came with a wall adapter that had a USB port in it the output on that unit is 5v at 1 amp. I checked the specs on this Schoche 12v adapter and it's the same. No reason it shouldn't work, so I bought it (in spite of another reviewer who said it doesn't work with iPhone 3GS). It worked with the cable that came with the phone as well as an aftermarket one I bought to plug into a cradle and leave in the car. It charges quickly when the phone is asleep. I made calls via bluetooth and streamed audio and video files via bluetooth from my iPhone to car stereo head unit... it still charged quickly, then never dropped from 100%. I plugged in my iPhone and an HTC Touch Pro phone at the same time and they both charged quickly and worked fine. I have also tried it with my Motorola Bluetooth headset. I have a friend with a Samsung phone; I can't remember which one, but it has a Micro-USB plug on the charger. I have a USB cable with Micro-USB at the other end, so we tried it and it worked. It seems anything that can be charged via USB cable should work. Unless you know your device won't work, I would try it.
The unit came in nice packaging, seems to be well made and solid. I would recommend it to anyone who could use something like this.
