I bought this Coby charger because the two "Coby 4 GB Video MP3 Player with FM Radio (Blue)" I recently bought for my son and myself did not come with one. I find it easier to charge items with the house electricity instead of the computer. That it can charge both of our mp3 players at the same time is nifty, too.

We've only had the charger a few days, but it does not get warm when it is plugged in. That was a relief to me because I had, at one time in the past, another brand's USB wall charger that would get extremely hot, which I'm assuming was not a safe thing to be happening.

The plug prongs fold down when unplugged, and that is nice if ever I need to travel with it, or lay it in a drawer.

UPDATE: 05/13/2012 -I've now had this product over a year. It is used several times a week and is working great, still.

This thing is awesome. Don't waste your money buying the over price single slot usb chargers from apple. This charger will handle anything you throw at it except for the odd voltage that is required to charge a PS3 controller. This will not work to charge Play Station 3 controllers! Most usb chargers won't.

I have a phone and a Nook that charge off of USB and the two wall warts they came with were taking up too much space on my power strip. I might even get another one of these for my kitchen to charge my camera and another phone!

This seemed like such a clever little doo-dad, and I was so happy to have it in my home here in Los Angeles. It must've liked being here too, because it decided to adopt the laid-back Southern California lifestyle and stop working entirely. Doesn't charge a thing, not through any cable nor plugged into any socket. Pity, too, as it's small and handy.

Tried to use as charger and it kept saying "Low Powered USB--Unable to Charge". Ordered for a trip and ended up purchasing another type elsewhere. Amazon issued a refund without hesitation. That's why I buy from Amazon, they stand behind their customers. Thanks Amazon!
