I have an Android an I always run out of battery. Since I am hardly indoor it is such a hassle not being able to charge my phone unless there's a socket randomly around. Solar charging has really made it more convenient and stopped me from switching phones. This a great item with a great price!

I purchased this Solar Charger to keep my BlueAnt Bluetooth handsfree permanently charged. I checked the Standby current and the Active current specs; this device should have been perfect. Wrong!!!

If left on permanently attached to the Bluetooth device, it runs down in one night. If you allow it to recharge from the Sun only, it will never do so. It must be again fully charged from a USB port, then attached to the device. The device must be switched on and off whenever I enter or exit the vehicle. Waste of money as I can just recharge the Bluetooth device with USB and use it for three days between charges. Also the suction caps keep falling off the windscreen. If anyone wants mine they can have for postage. Not even worth half the price as it is a frustrating piece of equipment. Sorry, but that is my finding!

While technically a solar cell, charge time by sun is a ridiculous 5 days. I use it by charging from USB which works ok, but you need to travel with the non-standard cable to do this.

I really wanted a reliable solar device that i could carry around and charge my iPhone if I needed a quick source of power. As a portable battery it works great. As a solar charger, it leaves much to be desired. I did not realize this when I bought it, but it takes 5 days in full sun to charge the internal battery. If there are clouds, you will likely never charge the battery. I have resorted to simply charging it from my home computer. Given the price, the promises, and the desired functionality, I'd recommend spending the extra bucks to get the real thing, the solo solar chargers.
