Big and bright - but that's not a good thing,
January 25, 2012 This review is from: Belkin USB Charging Kit with Wall and Car Chargers for Apple iPod (Black) (Electronics)
Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
QUICK SUMMARY: This Belkin iPod/iPhone charging kit does the job, so it's not a bad choice. But if you can get the some functionality in smaller, more discrete chargers, there's not much reason to choose this product.
WHAT I LIKE:
- The charging cable seems heavy-duty, much thicker (better insulated?) than the charging cable that came with my iPhone. Good for those who aren't gentle with their charging cords.
- The same charging cable has a larger plug that fits into my iPhone (the plug is maybe 1/4" longer than the plug on Apple's iPhone charging cable). This is a nice feature if you're using an Otterbox or similar case protector because it's much easier to grasp this cable's longer plug. Now I don't have a hard time pinching the plug to remove it from my Otterbox-protected iPhone.
- This set is complete. Need a cable to charge from your computer? Got it. From a wall outlet? Got it. From a vehicle 12V outlet? Got it, and the vehicle adapter...Read more

Well built, but most will prefer more compact chargers,

THE QUICK TAKE: The Belkin iPod Charging Kit is well built, but the chargers are bulky by modern standards. If you prefer these larger chargers, because you find them easier to handle, this set will be a good choice.
GOOD BUILD QUALITY: I've been happy with the Belkin chargers and cables I've owned, the build quality is solid. I've found that the cheap iPod cables come apart, often leaving parts stuck into the plug on the iPod or iPhone.
This cable just plugs in and pulls out - no need to press tabs on the side. The plug seems compact, and fits fine in my iPhone despite the case on the phone.
And I've never thought that the cheap knockoff chargers made sense - it's going to be plugged in almost all the time, in my house, where my family sleeps. And powering an expensive piece of electronics. I'm not going to give up quality just to save a few bucks.
1 AMP WILL CHARGE PHONES: The wall charger is rated at 1 amp, which is enough to...Read more

There are better and cheaper options,

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Program (What's this?)
The cord that comes with this set is four feet long. That's longer than you likely want for use in your car and shorter than I want for use at home where my wall electrical outlets are pretty low (near the baseboards) and I want the cord to reach to the top of a piece of furniture where I will place the phone to charge.
It's nice that the prongs can be folded down into the wall charger so it take up less space (if you have vertical outlets,) but the prongs do NOT swivel. Swivel prongs that also fold down are far more useful. Swivel prongs make it much easier to plug in chargers without blocking an outlet. I have this Belkin wall plug that both swivels and has fold down prongs Belkin AC Charger with Swivel Plug & Charge Sync Cable for iPod and iPhone One positive about the wall plug is that it has a small blue light that...Read more
