Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Griffin 9749-PJBLK PowerJolt Auto Charger for iPod (Black)
Customer Review: Does the Job and Cheap (Good/Bad)
Summary: 4 Stars
I was looking for a simple iPod charger for the car, already having a 3.5mm stereo input jack on my stereo, and this does the job well. I like that the cigarette lighter adapter part of the charger is not hardwired; it has a female USB socket, into which you can plug the supplied male USB to iPod plug or male USB to male mini-USB cable (great for my fiancee's phone). This means that if I lose the Griffin cable, I can still use the standard white USB iPod cable for charging.
The reason I take off a star is because I dropped the cigarette lighter adapter part on the ground while walking on the sidewalk, and the shell came apart and several metal pieces went flying. It's commendable that even if it "breaks" like this, no plastic was actually harmed and it can be re-assembled fairly easily. I'm still missing one of the non-essential metal pieces, however, and thinking that the only thing holding the part together is the close fit of the cigarette lighter worries me a little.
All in all, it's an inexpensive and versatile product and if it weren't for my clumsiness it would have no visible faults.
Customer Review: Affordable and Versatile
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this product to charge my iPhone in my car. Been using it for less than a month and so far it seems to do what I need it to do. It can also charge my iPod Classic with the same connector, but frankly the battery in my iPod lasts about 10 times longer than the one in my iPhone. This is a must for anyone who uses their iPhone a lot, including in their car: While you're driving, have your iPhone plugged in so that when you get out of your car, it's got a little more juice than when you got in (or a lot, depending on how far you travel).Customer Review: It works. And that's the name of that tune.

I purchased this to use in conjunction with a Sony Cassette Adapter for MP3, MiniDisc, and Discman Players. (I could also have used it with my iRiver wireless transmitter if I hadn't just thrown it out in frustration.) It plugs in, it works, it's a beautiful thing. The extra USB cable is nice but not vital.
It's inexpensive and it works. What more could I ask for?
Customer Review: Griffin Charger Great w/ Griffin iTrip
Summary: 4 Stars
The Griffin 9749-PJBLK PowerJolt Auto Charger is a great product. What makes it a must is its compatibility with the Griffin iTrip FM Transmitter with LCD and Dock Connector for iPod, because can have the Griffin iTrip plugged into your iPod and transmitting to your car's stereo and be charging your iPod w/ the PowerJolt Auto Charger plugged into the transmitter. It works great and charges my iPod more quickly than when my iPod is connected to my home computer.Customer Review: Do not use for Verizon Razor
Summary: 4 Stars
This charger is great for your iPod. I got it because my coworker had it work for his blackberry and ipod. When I got mine I tried it for my Motorola Razor which has the same plug. I have since found out that it does not work for Verizon's Razor.. Cingular, Yes.. It is weird, but something about the different networks and power consumption. I just mark it another of a long list or reason not to use Verizon.
