Great value for money and so versatile
Overall the SDBAUX Car Charger is a great utility for any car whose owner also has an iPhone, especially if you regularly charge more than one in the car.
– The retractable cable’s work great
– Built-in cables are flat so do not tangle
– The USB port is great for guests with different phones
– The connection stalk is nice and long meaning it works even if pulled out a bit
– Could be a bit snugger in the port
I ordered this mainly for my partner who carries multiple phones for work, this means normally her car is a mess of cables trying to keep them and smartwatches for each constantly charged. This should be great to reduce her cable clutter and for at least two of her cables now they will tidily retract when not in use.
When we received the item, I at first was a little disappointed, firstly the packaging is nothing special, for the price I was expecting a box rather than a bag, but that can easily be forgiven. Next is the plastic the item is made from, particularly the main body feels pretty cheap, I’m not sure how long it would hold up if you put much pressure on it.
The real magic is once you pull one of the lightning cables, the cables are quite thin but they have a nice grippy rubberised texture and they are flat cables making them very difficult to tangle. The retractable mechanism is one of the nicest I’ve ever used, it was nice to use and never got stuck. When you pull it out it will go to the length you pull to then lock in place and then you simply pull a little to start it retracting.
In terms of charging it seems to Work perfectly and we have had no issues with it not charging or being particularly slow to charge, it is not super fast but considering it can do 3 at the same time then it is very reasonable.
