My Iphone 3G stop working correctly shortly after I used this product, may be a coincidence, but it’s not worth the risk. Had to take the phone back to apple. I do not, and will not recommend this product.

The design of the product is quite nice. There is a lighted ring that indicates that the plug is powered. The connector fits snuggly into the iPhone.
However, it just doesn’t charge consistently. I’ve repeatedly tried unplugging and reconnecting the base plug, the phone, the connector between the cable and the base plug. Unplugging the cable from the base plug and reconnecting it will sometimes enable charging, but it is very hit or miss.

Reading the mixed reviews had me second guessing this charger especially with the term “redesign” in the name… I’m totally satisfied with this charger! Read issues with short cords, tight fitting plug, heat… This charger has none of these issues! I especially like the locking feature of the plug keeping the phone from getting loose. Great product!

The Griffin PowerJolt (Redesign) is a iPhone / iPod compatible car charger which has some flexibility beyond traditional iPhone car chargers that I had owned before.
My previous Griffin PowerJolt SE Car Charger with Coiled Cable for iPod and iPhone 1G (Black)worked fine but was a bit limited due to the integrated iPhone cable – this will not work with some iPhone accessories such as the PocketDock Line Out USB and can also be an issue due to the short length of the cable. The Griffin PowerJolt allows me to use my SendStation accessory and to use a USB extension cable if the charger is not close to the iPhone.
Like most Griffin accessories, this unit is well-designed and rock solid and has performed without a issue in four months of use. Highly recommended.
Note: Make sure you get the correct product, esp. if ordering from a Marketplace seller – one of them shipped me an older design PowerJolt which was not designed for iPhone charging. The redesign unit has a round end with an LED ring to indicate charge status; most of the older units have an oval-shaped end.
