While preparing for a camping trip to Yellowstone and realizing how many gadgets and gizmos we all had, I decided to try out the Soladec as it was one of the only portable solar chargers out there with a decent high-output solar cell. Surprisingly, it works right out of the box since it has its own internal battery, which in turn is charged by solar power. Being a gadgets guy, I've had my share of solar chargers, none of which impressed me but after using the Soladec for four days in the wild, I can honestly say my faith in solar powered chargers is renewed!
Build Quality - sturdy construction and the solar cell glass feels tough enough to survive a drop.
LED Light - Be forewarned,BRIGHTER THAN YOU THINK! Very bright, comparable to higher-end flashlights.
Usage - After charging it in the sun all day, I still had enough juice to fully charge my iphone4, my nephews PSP, and had enough to use the built-in light for a few hours around at night. The higher output solar cell is a drastic difference to cheaper made-in-china chargers that can barely charge your phone halfway.
Compatibility - As soon as I got the Soladec, I immediately tested it with all the devices we would bring, ( which all worked): PSP, iPhone4, Kindle3, Garmin GPS, and an ipod nano.
The Soladec is by far the most functional solar powered charger that actually works and would gladly recommend it to anyone!
***UPDATE*** 3/29/2012
After a few months of rough trips through desert and mountains, glad to report that it still runs like its fueled by plutonium and fairy dust. I use it here and there but its a must-bring for our camping trips being our primary light and power source at night. For heavy use, you would have to charge it throughout the day in direct sun light to "fill up the tank". Also, after a some tossing around, some of the silver paint has faded but it still works just as well as it did on the first day. Seeing ours, a few of our frequent camping friends have even purchased one and i'm sure they too will gladly recommend it!

This is my second solar charger after realizing the first charger couldn't even charge my wife's Droid Captivate or my iPhone over 50% which was a major disappointment. The Soladec is drastic difference and I couldn't have been happier with my purchase for a solar charger that actually works! I have used the charger for approximately a month, mostly for hiking. I'm a contractor and now, I'm officially the "Charger Guy" since everyone at work comes to me on if their phones needs a jump during the day while on site.
The Soladec is a well constructed charger with a much higher quality photovoltaic(PV) solar cell that actually provides enough juice to charge most phones to 100%. In fact, the high-output PV panel coupled with a large 4000 mAh battery is enough to charge almost anything you can throw at it, as long it can charge by USB.
Also, most solar charging flashlights out there have some of the wimpiest lights I've seen but the jumbo monster LED array on the Soladec is almost enough to blind you, making it also great for night use.
Overall, this is one of the more practical and functional solar chargers I've used and although I got the Soladec mostly for camping and emergencies, it works well enough to bring out and use anywhere like trips, long drives, picnics, or just imagine if Tom Hanks had one of these in the movie Cast Away. Highly recommend and also even better since it an eco-friendly power source! =)
