Not sure where all these 5 star reviews come from, but the product is not compatible with my 3 GS. When initiated, it seems to charge as advertised, then the "not compatible with iPhone" message displays and charging stops. The headline says it all.

I got this car charger because it was cheap. It works great and is pretty solidly built. Why buy an expensive charger when this does the same thing. I have used this on my iPhone 3GS for over a month and no problems what so ever.

I've had this about a month and used it a lot. It was inexpensive and works well. Eforcity mailed it very quickly and it was well packaged. I highly recommend purchasing this product from Eforcity.

Was way cheaper than buying one in the store and it does the job! Good product

I'm not sure if the other couple of reviewers that bought this product and rated it poorly possibly received the wrong unit, but I bought this charger for my 3GS and it works beautifully..especially for the price! The charger was shipped quickly, I've had zero issues with it charging the 3GS, and couldn't be happier.

This cheap charger charges my iPhone 3g. The charger I had before was a name brand(DLO) and broke which cost me 35 bucks.

Bought this product for my wife's Apple 3G phone and it worked only one time. Was useless, thereafter.

I cannot get this charger to connect to my iPhone. I have tried several times and it simply does not work. I think there is a reason it is so cheap. The reason being it doesn't work.

The charger quit working after about a week. I thought it may be the fuse, but there is not a replaceable fuse. Hey, it's only a couple of bucks though. You might get one that will last.

This iPhone car charger seems to be a "workable" purchase with the following understandings:

1) The biggest problem is the fact that this D/C car charger for the iPhone has a connector for the iPhone side of the charging connection that has a rectangular shape with 90 degree angles on the corners; whereas, the the A/C charger that came with the iPhone has a connector for the iPhone that is also rectangular but has "rounded" corners. When one buys a protective case for the iPhone, the hole through the protective case which one uses to connect a charger is also rounded on the corners. Therefore, rounded corners seem to tbe what is expected for iPhone connectors . . . especially in the case of the Ottorback protective case.

I had to use a dremmel tool to round the corners of the D/C Charger to get it to fit through my protective iPhone case; after which, it worked fine.

2) The D/C Charger's curled cord is a little too short to enable the ability to keep the iPhone pluged into the D/C Assessory outlet and still use the phone while it is charging.

3) There is a catch-pin on each side of the D/C Charger connector that goes into the iPhone; this is a good idea but it will take time see if the construction of this area is going to be durable or not.
