 "Val's review" 2009-08-31
By Valerie Lopez
It's a pretty good product minimal static when the Ipod is playing. The only thing I disliked about it is that it doesn't charge my Ipod.

 "Excellent" 2009-08-30
By J. Parks
I purchased this one as a gift after having the product myself for a year. Tried several other brands and styles, and find this one the best.

 "Broken" 2009-08-25
By Amazon Customer (Boston, MA USA)
I used it only for 2hours or so while driving and after a while, the green light was gone. No matter what I did, the power indicater was not turned on. I am not sure if it was broken while driving and it was too late to returned this product. Sorry it is only one star. If it was working fine, I would have given 4 stars.

great for charging and listening to the iPod in the car. It can be a little hard to situate to get to the controls, but it works.

 "Itrip" 2009-08-24
By Chad Lamb (College Station,TX)
Works good the only time it get a little static is in the morning but for the most part it works good. It seems to work alot better when the mini U.S.B charger it not pluged in to it. Don't know if this will help anybody, but I have tired it in several differnt cars and trucks.

 "Works Well... For Ten Bucks" 2009-08-22
By Zer0
Praise:

1) It's cheap. My last transmitter was over $50, and broke within 6 months.

2) It's small, convenient and doesn't need your car's cigarette lighter. It's wireless! This also means you can use it with non-car-related stereos. Neat.

3) Works well enough given the above points. See Gripes.



Meh:

1) Drains iPod battery fairly quickly. Starting with a fully charged iPod, after a 2 hour drive it was at half power. This is balanced out by the Micro USB socket that lets me use my old cell phone charger with it.



Gripes:

1) Signal is WEAK. Granted, this may have something to do with my car radio's ability to pick up the signal (I know it doesn't work well), but I literally have to set my iPod in my center console, right in front of my speedometer, which is less than an inch away from my radio in order to get a clear signal. Also, as soon as I pick it up to look for a different song, the signal cuts out, and is replaced with 88.1's constant white noise. And combined with the fact that you naturally need to turn the stereo volume up higher than normal, it makes navigating your iPod while driving incredibly distracting. Of course, that isn't something you should be doing anyway, but I remember it used to be a lot easier.



Bottom Line:

Approach with caution. If you know your car's radio is bad at picking up FM stations, you'll probably have a bad time trying to make this work. However, for people that want to avoid having to plug their transmitters into their cigarette lighter, this is a good way to go. Besides, for less than $20, how could you go wrong?

 "Beats listening to the radio!" 2009-08-21
By M. Rossbach
The iTrip was just what I needed to get me through a 3-hour drive to the beach. Now that I'm back from vacation, I use it all the time--even on my 10-minute commute to work! I can't stand listening to the radio and fumbling through CDs is too much work. The iTrip was perfect for me!

 "Works Great!" 2009-08-20
By Mr.M (California)
I paid 3.99 for this itrip, and honestly it worked GREAT! I love it. Easy to use, and the signal seems to be stronger when i plug a charger into it. I have no clue why, but it's much more clear that way. Love it!

 "ALL good things come in small packages :-)" 2009-08-05
By MC (Newark, DE, USA)
I just received this transmitter and was delighted to find it set to default 87.9 FM which is a clear, empty station ( at least in my area) ...it was already in DX mode and instantaneously started playing good, clean music as soon as I connected it to my ipod 4G...I am very happy with this little purchase as of now and the price was awesome too..

The mini-USB-port is a great idea too which will enable any standard GPS/car charger to plug in...

Thank you, Griffin!:-)

 "DO NOT BUY!" 2009-08-23
By G. Karapetyan (LA, CA USA)
This charger stopped working after a week. Do not buy, other buyers have the same problem with this charger.

 "Iphone 3gs car charger" 2009-08-17
By Leslie Sabarese
Works great! The short coiled cord is nice because it is only takes up a small area instead of the cord getting tangled everywhere.

 "Worked fine, for a short while" 2009-08-16
By Eloise Meachum (Dallas, Texas)
I bought this charger for my iPhone about 3 months ago. It worked fine for charging my iPhone in the car, though the cord was so short as to make it impossible to talk on the phone while it charged. Now, however, it will only work if the connector is inserted into the phone at an angle and propped up, a position pretty much impossible to maintain in a moving car.



I still need to charge my phone in the car occasionally so I plan to replace this unit with a higher quality product.

 "Perfect for me, but not for everyone..." 2009-08-13
By C. WILLIAMS (Alabama)
I use this to charge my iPhone 3G. I had a regular PowerJolt (non SE) before this and the USB cable that came with the original PowerJolt quit working within a week causing me to have to use another USB cable paired with it. Then the USB connection began to get tempermental so I purchased this NEWER and IMPROVED design. So far so good as this unit is an all-in-one-piece design.



Pro's:



All-in-one piece should make it more reliable (and has been thus far).

Shorter than the old plug-in plus USB adapter (I hated having the long USB cable in my car as I always had to push the cable around.

Illuminated ring around the plug-in lets you know when the phone is charging properly.



Con's:



Some may have liked the flexibility of always having a USB cable in the car with them (Personally I would rather pack one seperately as you would need a wall/plug-in adapter paired with it anyway unless you wanted to charge via PC).



I wish the connection would "lock" into the iPhone like the old iPod connections did (where you had to push the buttons on the side to "release" the charger). This is a small caveat but would be appreciated. With this short cord its easy to disconnect the iPhone on accident when shifting the phone around.

 "Works as advertised." 2009-08-05
By S. Martinez (Meridian, MS)
cord is a little short, would not recommending using without a headset or you will be pulling the charger out all the time. But then again you should not be driving while talking anyway, so still five stars.
