1) Be careful to buy one that actually works (seriously). Apple has proprietary tech that each manufacturer licenses allowing the charger to communicate with the phone. Some cheapos don't incorporate the tech and wind up not actually charging the phone (for example, see this: USB Cable + Wall Charger for Apple Iphone 3g Ipod Touch Nano )
2) This charger is built out of (comparatively) high-quality materials and can hold up to being shoved in luggage/backpacks/purses/whatever
3) The cable can be used just by itself (has a USB end that goes into the wall plug)
4) The plug is ridiculously ginormous. I guess that's why it swivels, so this big hog can fit in a power strip regardless of plug orientation. (I assume they saved money making it so unnecessarily big.)
5) The connector firmly connects to the apple device (again quality build)
6) iPhone chargers are pricey, this is one of the cheapest that is built well
7) This one is eligible for Amazon Prime shipping
This is the second one of these I'm buying, because of price/value/reliability. I have both nicer and cheaper ones. Despite it's faults, this one seems "just right". 1 star off because the plug is so big.
Buy Belkin F8Z414ttP AC Charger with Swivel Plug & Charge Sync Cable for iPod and iPhone Now
I bought this charger for my iPod touch 4. I needed a wall charger for our trip to Europe. It worked perfectly! It charges the iPod much faster than the USB. I'm not sure if the faster charge affects battery life, though. Anyway, with a European plug adapter this charger worked just as well with Europe's 110 volt power as it does here. As a bonus the USB cord that comes with it seems to be of an even better quality than the Apple cord.This is an 1amp charger, so it's not for an iPad. I got it for my iPod touch 4G. The cable that came with it is thicker like the other viewers said, and unlike some other Belkin cables, this one can be used for both charge and sync. The cable is a bit longer than the original apple one too. Overall this appears to be well made and worth what you paid for. Will update review if I should find it different after some use.Want Belkin F8Z414ttP AC Charger with Swivel Plug & Charge Sync Cable for iPod and iPhone Discount?
My son needed a second charger so he didn't have to worry about taking it between his parents' houses. This is great. I was tempted to buy the cheap ones, but I think it was well worth it to spend the money for a brand name. It's well made and transfers data well, too!Save 43% Off
These are the specifications of the adapter (from the back of the adapter itself).Input 120V to 240V
Output 5V at 550mA (each USB port)
Note that the USB standard output 5V at 500mA.
The Belkin adapter provides enough power to keep the iPad running. However, it DOES NOT provide enough power to charge the iPad while the iPad is running. The iPad status bar indicates plugged in, but not charging.
The Belkin adapter provides enough power to CHARGE the iPad only when the iPad is "off" or in "sleep" mode (such as when the smart cover is closed). It definitely takes longer to charge with the Belkin than when using the Apple adapter. This is because the Belkin adapter provides 550mA and the Apple iPad adapter provides 2.0A.
For those who want to charge the iPad while the iPad is running, don't buy this Belkin because you'll need an adapter that provides at least 1.0A. For reference, the Apple iPod and iPhone adapters provide 1.0A.
Overall, I am happy because I no longer need to carry two adapters (one for my iPad and one for my Blackberry).
