I just bought the iphone5S, I have been researching car chargers, home and cables. I am still confused as to which ones to purchase. Is this one worth the money or can I get the same quality for less money?

This is worth the money 100%. I bought the cheap $.99 ones on ebay from Japan and stuff, and they worked great for about 1 week and then they all stopped working. I love this charger. The cord is longer and that's more convenient and the swivel plugin means I can plug it in basically anywhere.

I had to call the company and re order a charger bc ours stopped working and I tried the Apple charger from our iPhones and it wouldn't work. There is a slight difference in it. The company gave me no problem at all maybe if you contacted them they might have a suggestion for you or may have a longer one to mail you.

I did a lot of research as well, and it's worth it. I'm not sure specifically what's in the $70 range, but this is constructed very well using high-quality materials, which translates into a light-weight but powerful charger. No gimmicks like built-in batteries or tiny size. I'm not aware of any cheap alternatives that will charge an iPad, and I want to charge things as quickly as possible and not depend on a barely-trickle charge from a cheaper/smaller device.

I bought it for my 2003 Victory to charge my iPhone 5. It worked for about a month, but now I get the "charging is not supported with this accessory" message. I do not get that message using the same charging cable in my car or in my home, so it has to be this outlet. Perhaps because there is no voltage regulator? I don't know what the solution is, but my phone clearly doesn't like it. Any other iPhone 5 users having trouble with this outlet?

I have had similar issue in the past. The difference I find in the Apple Certified Lightning charger is 1) it is built much stronger, meaning wires are less likely to be pulled out or break. 2) there is another USB slot, so you can charge another device. I've purchased this for my wife. She loves it! I cannot speak to years, but I find that the extra cost is way worth it. Good Luck

This is the cable only. The other piece of the equation is a unit that is plugged into an electric outlet to accept the usb end of this cable. The other end of third lightening cable gets plugged into the phone, of course. So I would say no to your question. Usually new iPhones include both the cable and the charger. Maybe he lost his. There are "generic" usb chargers (not specifically made by Apple) but you have to watch the specs as they may not charge the phone as rapidly as the Apple spec'd chargers. Just search on Amazon for iphone chargers. He may want the cable too, not sure from your question, so I would get both. The are not expensive.

Hi,I've used this charger to charge my iPad mini and it works great. I don't own an iphone 5s so I can't answer that. There is a switch on the side that indicates Apple or Sony products. I think it's a great product. Have a great day.Scott

A lightning to usb cable is used specifically for use with the new iPhone. You will, however, want to look at the charging current that your device draws. If it is not meant to draw up to 2 Amps of current, you run the risk of damaging your device. Basically, you'll only want to use this charger for brand new phones that draw 2 amps of current. You can find how much current your device draws by running a Google search. If your device can use this charger, I highly recommend this one. It's great for my galaxy s4.

It comes with a cable for the iphone 4s and older models, not for the iphone five. So you would have to buy the iphone 5 cable seperately.

I have this charger in black. I use it to charge my Android phone and my Bluetooth headset. Your devices should be fine with this charger (including the Iphone's new lightning cable since it mentions it). It is a good charger to have. Hope this helps.

D. Steelman- I don't know what's going on but I'm in the same boat. I ordered this because it was supposed to be a smart charger that knew when to stop the charge. It doesn't. It seemed a cheap alternative to the fancier La Crosse. Instead I feel like I threw away the $22 I paid. (I see now it's going for $10-$11 more, and not sold directly through Amazon.com.) Anyone know the best way to get this exchanged for the advertised model?

If your rep says yes, then try it. I personally would play it safe and use the charger for the phone with it, and the one for the headphones with them. No funny business in my way of thinking.

The only charger you can use is the one that comes with the iPhone. If you have an aftermarket charger, they are wider and fatter, and it WILL NOT fit. You also have to unscrew a button to be able to plug in your earbuds. The chances of losing this button are high. In my opinion, it's a bad design.

Yea you get the wall charger. And if you look under assesories on amazon you can get a assesorie kit with a car charger and extra batterie and usb memory card reader and all for it for about 25 dollars. Its a good kit to have. Works great.

Also, you do not need to purchase a more expensive cord.... This one will work perfectly and also charge your phone while you use it. Hope this helps you.

You get that message all the time when you are using something that didn't come from Apple. If you were to go out and purchase the Apple car charger, it would cost you more money. I just ignore that message. It does charge our Apple phones.

I don't have an iphone5 or any other i product, but these are USB chargers. Any device should charge very well with either of these as long as it comes with a USB charger.
