It's hard to get excited about a car charger for your iPod or iPhone, but this one's great. First, it's black which better matches the interior in most cars that the more prevalent white. Second, the blue power indicator is square, soft and elegant - not a harsh round red LED. Third, and most important, the power cord can be detached from the adapter and used as a secondary iPod/iPhone cord. It's also a nice heavy gauge of wire. I definitely recommend this over any other auto charger!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great charger for iPhone!, December 31, 2007

This is a great charger for the iPhone. I like the look -- very sporty! The cord is longer than the recharging docking stand that comes with the iPhone so I use the Incharge charger much more often. Also, I can use this charger without removing the iPhone case (I have one of those skin-styles).

In regards to the one issue that I heard read about this recharger -- that it is difficult to remove from the iPhone... The version that I bought from Amazon has been redesigned to fix that issue. Now all you have to do is pull the connector straight out from the iPhone. I also have a second Incharge recharger with the old design and it was very difficult to remove when I first got the recharger. However, over time and many uses it has worn down a bit and is now very easy to remove so I don't think that really was a design flaw anyway...

3.0 out of 5 stars Great charger, if I could only listen to the radio at the same time!, March 27, 2008

The charger is sleek looking and fits snugly in the cigraette lighter. The problem is that it makes all the radio stations go to static when it's plugged in! I couldn't believe it! If you want to sit in silence as your iPhone or iPod charges, this is a good value. If you want to listen to the radio, you sure won't be charging anything at the same time with this!

12/2010 Edit: I have found that the problem I am having with this does not happen in all cars. It seems to affect some vehicles, and in others it works great! I guess you just have to try to find out. Of course if you are listening to the iPod/iPhone while charging, it doesn't make a difference! Only if you listen to the radio.
