This car charger works well and does what it's supposed to, charges my phone. I do love the nifty feature of having the cable not hanging about all willy nilly. The pull back works well and isn't too fast. Sometimes when I find that my phone isn't connecting properly, I push the button to make the cord tighten and it works better. I don't always have the issue, so it's not that big of a problem. I think I got a lot of bang for my buck with this purchase.
