sensation, evo, one x; samsung galaxy s3 [12 cortnceons for mobile phones, 6 cortnceons
for tablets, us ac adapter included] (wireless phone accessory) i'm a professional
photographer that does a lot of travel and location work and i frequently don't have
access to a secure power outlet. At first, i was hesitant to purchase this item since it's
from a company i was unfamiliar with. But after reading the reviews and visiting their
website, i ended up buying it and i have to say i'm quite impressed. I initially wanted it
as an emergency power pack to extend my iphone 4s' battery life and upon receiving it, it
turns out that i can use it to charge many other pieces of gear as well. Overall, it's a
fantastic product. It's approximately the size of a typical portable usb hard drive and
the build quality is quite solid. The black portions are a matte, semi-rubberized surface
while the top cover is glossy plastic. As many have said in other reviews, what may appear
to be scratches in the glossy front is actually a protective film which can be removed
with the aid of a piece of tape or a fingernail. I ended up leaving the film on mine to
protect its surface. There's a silver power button which you use to turn the power pack on
as well as four blue leds that indicate its charge capacity. There is also a switch to
change the power output from 9v to 12v which i found particularly impressive since many of
my camera battery chargers run on 12v. So in addition to charging my phone, i can use this
to charge my camera batteries as well! Obviously everyone's gear is different, so your
individual mileage may vary, but it was definitely a pleasant surprise to find out that
this item works with such a wide variety of my gear! Along with the pack, you get an ac
adapter to charge it from a wall outlet as well as a whole galaxy of various charging tips
and adapters that should fit any phone or device you may have. With the amount of adapters
they include, i would be seriously shocked if you had a device that didn't work with it.
In addition, compared to some of the older reviews, it seems that the included product
literature and various information cards have gone through some revisions so they're now
extremely easy to follow and very well-written. The inclusion of a small card indicating
the protective film on the front leads me to believe that anker is a company that responds
to customers concerns which i find very impressive. I won't go into precise charge times
since i haven't had the time to put a stopwatch on it, and there are other reviews that
get into this more in depth. But suffice it to say that this is a fantastic product from
an excellent company and i look forward to doing business with them again.
