Dynex iPod Wall Charger Our Rating:

I’m sure that you’re sick and tired of having to go charge your iPod with a computer, which usually isn’t anywhere nearby. The idea behind this product is that you can now use the normal USB cord for connecting the iPod to the computer, and plug it into their device to charge it through a wall outlet. Great idea, bad product.

We did like their small design, especially with the flip-down outlet prongs. We also liked the indicator light, showing red while charging and green when charged. However, while it does have a simple USB slot, you are not suposed to charge any other product but an iPod with it. While it may or may not work, it was not designed for use with other mp3 players. Additionally, it is very fussy. Anytime we try to use it, it takes lots of fiddling around with it and wiggling it to get it to work properly. This was tested in multiple outlets, and the outcome is the same each time. If you’re looking to charge your iPod using a nearby outlet, we recommend trying a different product.
