We don’t throw around the word game-changing lightly, but this gadget definitely fits the bill. Triple C Design’s iCharge ALL puts a stop to all those wild goose chases through airport lounges and friends’ apartments for outlets to charge your dying device. The sleek, pocket-sized battery pack enough electrical power to fully recharge your iPhone or iPod and buys you hours of extra use on your iPad.
The iChargeALL has bailed me out several times when I really needed a charge for my iPhone! Especially after installing ios7, the phone seems to lose power quicker, so I always have my iCharge at the ready! The only thing is that if you have a bigger phone case, you may need to remove it in order for the iCharge to properly connect.
5So I will have to say that I am somewhat disappointed with this product. I am more disappointed that I utilized the points I earned to buy it when I could have used it on several other products I wanted. Bummer.
My issues... First, I do not like that it doesn't snap into my phone (iPhone 4s) and can just charge. I have to find some way to prop it so it stays in place or hold it, which is a nuisance. Secondly, I have to charge it immediately after using which I find not very convenient. One use and done? So then I'm trying to find a USB port to charge this device. I thought I would be able to get at least a couple charges out of it.
Overall, I am glad that I have it for those "just in case" situations. But I have to always make sure its charged which sometimes I am not very good at. And I do like the size and how I can just throw it in my purse, that does make it convenient. But more disappointed that I used my points on it...
I bought the iCharge ALL specifically for use on a road trip, where I would be taking a lot of pictures and didn't want to be troubled with having to find an outlet at every coffee shop or restaurant I patronized to get my power fix.
While the iCharge certainly is portable, it doesn't just firmly snap onto your phone. I was hoping that I could click it into place, throw it in my bag, and my phone would magically charge while I was out and about. I found that the connection to the phone port isn't that stable, and you have to figure out a way to prop up the device so that it doesn't disconnect from your phone. I was on the fence between ordering this device and another that gives only 1/2 a charge. Given the inconvenience of the iCharge ALL's poor design, I would have ordered the other option.
I travel frequently and always find myself elbowing my way to the closest plug in station or outlet. This product has saved me and my words with friends playing on my iPad. The only issue is that is is recharged through a computer Hdmi port. This is not always convenient when traveling. Other than that it was great to have in my bag on my last trip.
3I purchased one of these for my boyfriend for Christmas, and I was so jealous of it that I ended up getting one for myself and the rest of my family as well. I used it recently when I was with some friends, and they were all so jealous! It's a perfect size to fit in my purse without getting lost, and I was able to fully charge my almost dead phone!
