I see several advantages to this USB mobile charger: - It is robust, says "indestructible", and actually leaves the design thinking. It all very solid, reinforced by a rubber protection on the edges, it inspires confidence. - It is not heavy so far, in fact I find it rather light for its size. - Easy to use: * To charge it, just plug the supplied cable with a USB plug (for example on a PC) or to a wall outlet via a USB adapter (not supplied). LED flash to indicate the current loading. * 4 LEDs indicate the charging rate from 25% to 100%. They light up on demand via a button on the top of the charger. * To load a device, just plug it in your usual mobile charger USB cable, press the only button, and it starts up immediately. - A cover is provided, which can contain the charger and cable.
The caveats: - The device is a bit bulky for portable charger. I have actually seen smaller, but they do not seem as strong. Basically it is the size of a cell phone, nothing huge either. - He can load only one type of device smartphone / compact camera with a full charge. Given the size one would hope two charges, damage.
I was hesitant to put three stars because of its small load capacity, but given the quality of design bringing strength and tightness, I leave him four.
