User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Worked fine, for a short while
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.

5 Stars Iphone 3gs car charger
Works great! The short coiled cord is nice because it is only takes up a small area instead of the cord getting tangled everywhere.

4 Stars Perfect for me, but not for everyone…
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.

5 Stars Exactly what I wanted
This is exactly what I wanted: short and compact. Yes, the cord is short, but that’s OK with me, the plug is compact, doesn’t stick out too much. The materials quality seems fine. I normally had good luck with Griffin products. I’m using it with 3GS.

5 Stars Works as advertised.
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.

1 Star Broken on first day
It worked great, the reception was great, and then I used it for about 15 minutes, and I heard a loud *pop*, and light smoke started coming out of the device. It still seems to work, but I don’t know for how much longer, and it’s not worth damaging the phone. Fast shipping, but if this item cost more (paid $13.12 incl shipping) I would have tried to return it.

4 Stars Works Well
Works beautifully with my Ipod. I just got the new Iphone 3GS and although it still plays beautifully- it doesn’t charge while playing as it does with the ipod.

3 Stars Not too convinient when charger is hidden
The item is good. It works well and it does what it claims. It keeps the ipod in place and you can listen to your music in the car through an FM station. The drawback is that in my car if I place the charger in the lighter opening, the gear lever pushes the holder. There is not enough space for both. So check if you have enough space in your car before buying.

5 Stars more than worth
absolutely worth for what you pay, I read some reviews about the “retractable feature breaking off after some use” so i took a leaf out of those comments and have been carefully handling the retractable feature….so far so good, the sound quality is great,I would definitely recommend this product.. and the seller is fast too, i received this product in 3 days

2 Stars crappy connection
so far no problems with the retractor but the sound quality of the connection is terrible! sound either only comes out of one speaker or it comes out of both but it’s static-y

3 Stars Nice Sound But Broke within 2 months
I bought this product about 2 months ago. It worked very well until about a week ago. One of the wires inside came undone so now I am only able to hear my music on the right speaker in my car.

If you don’t mind buying one every couple of months-by all means buy it. Otherwise, invest in something a bit better that will actually last.

4 Stars Pretty good actually…
I think this cord works great, had almost a year now and no problems (yes, even my little plastic retractor thing is still intact). The only issue is I can’t seem to get my ipod as loud as I could get with a cd, but I’m going to change my EQ (I have an ipod touch) and see if that makes a difference. The cord could be a little longer (I have a Land Rover, and the MP3 jack is in the back of the middle console); it barely reaches to my lap. Otherwise, very pleased, especially for the price.

4 Stars Does not fit iPhone
Looks decent. Cheap. Sound is great. I have had mine for over 1 year without any problems.

One word of warning – this item DOES NOT fit into an original iPhone. However it does work with the iPhone 3G.

5 Stars Works great!!! everthing I expected
Screen came in perfect condition, plugged right in, tools worked well,

shipping was fast, I would recommend to anyone.

Thanks

5 Stars Really great deal
This was a great item. Good price to save an iPod with a broken screen. Easy to install with the video showing exactly what to do.

4 Stars Works as expected
I was very happy with this product. After taking the ipod apart and installing the new screen, it worked perfectly.

Pros

-Works as expected.

-Detailed instructions

Cons

-Bad packaging – Placed in a bag rather then a semi-decent card board box.

-Have to go to a web site to view instructions

5 Stars great way to fix your broken screen
i bought this screen to fix my broken i pod video.easy to install would have liked written instructions but the online instructions were good enough to get the job done.

5 Stars perfect and easy to do
My daughter is hard on electronics, so when she sat on her ipod, in her back pocket she thought all was lost.

But the replacement is easy to do if you are patient gentle, and follow the instructions.

I opened, removed and replaced this lcd screen in about 25 minutes.

The trick is follow the instructions, and be slow thoughtful, gentle and methodical.

It comes with the tools necessary to open the iPod.

great product. saved me a bundle.

There are also tons of sites on the internet to walk you through this, with full pictures and video of the replacement procedure.

great bargain

Griffin PowerDock 4 Four Position Charging Station for iPod and iPhone Aluminum

Griffin PowerDock 4 Four Position Charging Station for iPod and iPhone Aluminum

Does your family own a family of iPod models? Can you only find one charger that four of you have to share? Put an end to the power struggles (literally) over recharging with PowerDock 4.PowerDock 4 is a charging base where your family of iPod players can get together to charge its batteries. Four Apple universal docks, built into a single charging base. Includes a collection of universal dock insert adapters to ensure that every iPod gets a place at the table.

User Ratings and Reviews

1 Star Poorly designed
Very disappointed. A worthless product. The inserts make the dock unusable. Even without the inserts you need to remove any case or skin for either an iPod or iPhone. This is ridiculous; Griffin must know that many, many people use cases and skins. Even without the case the connections are not strong. I would never recommend this product. I was ripped off.

1 Star Shame on you Griffin–poor quality control, frequent charging errors
I just received my Griffin PowerDock 4 today, and already need to return it.

Pros: Compact design. Recharging adapter built into base, so no need for bulky adapter at outlet end. Makes for easy portability. Light weight.

Cons: Perhaps I got a “lemon”, but the unit I received immediately had power supply/charging issues when I tried to charge our 2 iPhones. When a single iPhone was placed in a docking bay, it appeared to charge properly for about 5 minutes, then the phone would vibrate, beep (as if being connected to a USB cable and then disconnected–similar to the description in Charles Willson’s Amazon Review for same product), screen would turn on and off, and error message would appear saying that the legacy device was incompatible for charging the iPhone…then about 15 seconds later, it would appear to be charging again. When 2 iPhones were placed simultaneously in both front docking bays, the beeps and error messages occurred more frequently…as if the power supply of the device was insufficient to charge both iPhones at the same time.

I requested an exchange for a replacement unit from Amazon…we’ll see if the next one has the same issues….

1 Star Good idea. Not so good execution
Purchased this product for our 4 iPhone family.

I had read about the charging problems and had hoped that they were resolved. They weren’t. With 4 iPhones in this unit, they sporadically lose the charging status and cycle with a “beep”. At 2 in the morning, it’s not what you want. This problem alone was a show-stopper.

Even if this problem were resolved, I agree with other reviewers about lack of external USB ports to charge devices other than Apple products. Same with the lack of indicator light to display charging status. With “iffy” connections using the dock adapters, you can’t tell the phones are charging without pressing the iPhone button in each… a little like the 1960’s game “Operation” because the phones are so close to each other front to back.

Finally. due to size and weight of the unit, in my opinion, this is not for travel use.

Ultimately returned the product and happily substituted the lenmar 4 USB portable charger at less than half the price, a fraction of the weight and with more flexibility.

Hope this help others.

4 Stars Good value for the price
Overall a great way to charge multiple IPODS or IPOHNE, though the IPOD 3GS at times does produce an error that it is not a compatible charging device. Would be nice to be able to order additional adapters at a cost that is not so expensive. While at $1.99 not bad, the shipping brings the cost to almost $8.

2 Stars Only too bad you cannot sync from this
Looks and feels nice, but has some notable shortcomings as product:

- There is no USB connector for connecting this to a computer. You cannot sync from this; it is only–as advertised–a charging station.

- The AC power cable they give you to plug it in is only 3.5 feet long, meaning you’d better have this very near an outlet or extension cord. At least it’s not a “wall wart”.

- The package includes only one of each type of plastic adapter fitting. The good news is, you probably don’t need to use them in all cases. They seem to server more as guides for plugging devices in than as structural supports.

If you just need a charger, this will do the trick–it’s not all bad. I would, however, think you’d want to keep looking/waiting for a dock station that also lets you sync.
