Well I guess I will be the odd ball. I bought this unit for recharging my droid3 and I have to say it DID work. However the one gripe I have is the connector. The usb connector is very flimsy and sometimes wont make good contact. For example once I was down to 30% on my droid and I hooked it up. I waited for it to do its job. When I came back my droid was down to 10%. I looked at the cable and everything LOOKED connected however upon further examinations I found that when I wiggled the connection to the Joos the droid would show charging the show not charging. I tried diffrent cables and it was the same. It turned out the connector to the joos is very flimsy. They should have stuck to a more robust connector like a traditional usb connector. Don't get me wrong the solar portion works wonderful. You just have to make sure you have a good connnection.

Honest Review with defects pointed out and some improvements to be made

I've had this unit since Jan 2013. It is an okay unit. The Micro Usb port is a very big weak point of the unit. They say they can shoot at it with a 22 but it doesnt make a difference if the port is easily damage. My cable bag is the old one and they have said on their site that they will send out new ones to customers regardless of when purchase. I have treated my joos very well and have not rough handled it. However, now there are Stress cracks in the back battery plate compartment on it. I have contacted Solar joos about this apparent defect but I do not think the will send me a new cover plate. Those cracks compromise the integrity of the item and can no longer be reliable out in the field. They do a good job on the software of the unit and electronics. Their implementation of the charging system is not so good. I understand you need an a-b switcher and a cable that is compatible, but the flimsy rubber on the micro usb port is horrible at best. I have been very careful with mine as to not break it off and the usb connector. IF they were to revise this system I'd suggest a regular full usb port with a reliable and rugged cap and not just exposed rubber. The li-polymer battery is replaceable but I cannot find any part or number on the internet for it. I have the software and it simply labels the battery as 1-OSUN. Also in keeping up with today's requirements I suggest upping the output to a 2.1 Amp instead of 1.0 Amp. I don't write many reviews on here but I figure this should help the new buyers who are going to be investing 150$ into a solar item that only works okay. Joos has to improve on these points otherwise i can really recommend it to others as I would like too. Here is a summary of points.
1. Fix the defect on the back battery plate with screws and cracking plastic.Its supposed to be rugged.
2. Make it a Regular USB Port on the item
3. Better Implementation on the usb rubber cover.
4. Maybe add an input port and a Output port
5. 2.1 Amp output change to the 1.0a out
6. Better cables that dont die or stop working.

I will be posting a video review on this items soon.

I love solar JOOS!

This item is a tad heavy but it is good!! I charge my nexus 7, my samsung note 2 without problem!

Looks very good, easy to hang it on your backpack and with that steel hole on the side, I can easily secure it to a fixed item with a steel cable and leave it outdoors until I need it.

I own a few of the china made solar charger cheapo and not of them really charges efficiently. It hold a good size battery bank, charges up my phone fast. The best thing is this solar joos has legs to enable you to prop them to catch the sunlight! Save me finding rocks or branches to prop it up! (there is nothing to prop up the goal zero guide 10/Normad 7!)

When you read other reviews of it being a essential item during a zombie apocalypse, being able to kill a panther with it, it is true! I leave it in my car in sunny Singapore, it get so hot to touch, but after cooling down, it is still working. I leave it in the rain because i forgot to keep them, it works after. I become so dependent on it that I feel uneasy without having a solar joos.

Actually this was my second Solar Joos, the first one actually died when it fell 6 stories down. I was securing it with a steel cable and it slipped out of my hands. When I went downstairs to pick it up, I was expecting smashed bits and pieces of Solar joo, amazingly all was intact. The solar panel did not even have hairline cracks! I found some cracks on the black part of the body and buffs on the white plastic. Otherwise not much physical damage. I was hoping it would work but sadly it did not.

I tested it the next day and it would do a slow red blinking and could not hold a charge even if you charge it with a wall socket.
I dont know what I can do with it now. So I am just leaving it around the house.

The software to check the charge is a good and at the very least it give me a number to know how much % of the battery I charge that day! I also own a goal zero guide 10 with Nomad 7 solar. With the guide 10 battery pack ,there is no way to know how much it is charge except by a green blink ( 80- full), orange blink ( low), red(empty). I feel more assured bringing the solar joos out when I know it hold 92% battery then with a guide 10 pack holding green light.

Both are very unique in their own way, and I like them both! I do not have to worry if it is raining on the joos but if it rains, i better keep my Goal Zero because of the guide 10 in exposed to rain. Goal Zero is light and easy to carry around.

I once connected the Joos to a portable battery pack hoping the Joos would charge it. I get a soft whine and the battery pack no longer works. Only way for a joos to charge AA battery would be via a USB AA battery charger but I cant find them in pack of 4. Charge them 2 at a time would be a waste of time. Something the Goal Zero can do easily.

If you can decide between both, be like me! Own both of them and get 1 to charge your phones and one to charge you rechargeable AA batteries!
