I received the ITorch battery backup several weeks ago. It is compact and comes with two cables of different sizes and a velvet carrying case. It takes about 1 to 2 hours to fully charge and then it is ready for use. The ITorch battery backup will charge your cell phone in about 1 to 1.5 hours. I have really enjoyed having a battery backup for my cell phone. It has came in handy several times when I did not have access to an outlet for charging. I even charged my phone while walking the track one afternoon. I really love the convenience of having it in my purse at all times and it is simple to use. The only cons are there is only one button for the battery, the laser and the flash light. Sometimes it is takes a few tries to get the laser to cut off and I have not been able to get my flash light to come on. I would add a few more buttons and then it would be perfect! I even bought one for my daughter and she loves it. Great product!
