Everybody use the iPhone as a laptop, then its battery is an isue. This is a great power source on the go.

I don’t know if it’s because I got the new 3GS, but a warning popped up saying that this phone does not support this accessory. VERY dissapointed. I had purchased this off eBay knowing it would be a bit of risk (it came right from China). i don’t know if it’s the charger itself or the new phone software that is rejecting it.
It’s really a shame losing solar practicality. It could also use a beltclip too.

The Lenmar PPUS20 is a decent product. It seems to charge a little faster than my Solio even tho it has an indicator LED that stays on all the time during charging in order to let you know it is catching the sun ; which of course is a waste of power.
I had no problem getting the thing to fully charge in the sun, and it worked great with my cellphone , however, it ruined one of my camera batteries by overcharging it.
I am satisfied with this product. It kept my cellphone charged all summer while I hiked the appalachian trail, but there are better products out there that won’t ruin cameras or overcharge batteries which are just as efficient and are in the same general price range.
I would NOT buy another one of these if this one stopped functioning , I would try a different one.

This product would be good for people who spend lots of time outdoors, and can’t readily use a car or wall charger for their devices. Backpackers, fishermen, etc, would probably like this. Or if you want emergency power. Otherwise, you’re probably better off going with something else. As the packaging states, it’s “Emergency Cell Phone Power”.
The product takes forever to charge – a one hour charge gives you just enough to make a 5-10 minute phone call. It takes something like 8-10 hours to get a full charge.
The biggest drawback for me is that the unit can only be charged up to 500 times. This would equate to just over a year if you used it everyday. You can’t really go green with this thing, since you’d have to replace it every 12-18 months.
On the plus side, it is solar powered, and comes with lots of different tips for devices. It’s also cheaper than a other brands that I’ve seen.
OK for emergencies, but not everyday use. Maybe the next generation product can charge faster, and have a longer battery life.

I bought this a month back and tried using it many times but it just doesn’t work. After a full day under the sun, I managed to charge my phone for 15 seconds. I tried leaving under the sun for a few days on my dashboard, and it still charges my phone for 15 seconds and switched itself off. Tried this 6 times till now, doesn’t get to change a single mobile phone at all!! I don’t know why Amazon is selling this kind of inferior product. Don’t buy this item. You are better of using other electrical chargers.
