iXium® USB External Battery Charging Dock Case Portable for the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini i8190 Black

Very useful when travelling. Slow to charge up but took good charge and easy to use.

Excellent device. Charges to 90% battery, saves a lot a time and fuss. Charging a battery and a phone at the same time is not as effective, but this is expected.

I have to say that the device is excellent and so useful when the phone batteries are so wide - too wide for my normal charger! In short, it is excellent, and I would not hesitate to recommend it. Excellent service too. Definitely 5 stars, well done, a product well worth using. (EG holidays etc, when you may not have your charger).

For years I have used a Speedy wall charger and spare battery for my ancient Galaxy Ace without any problems, and wanted to do the same with my new Samsung S3 mini. I bought this despite some bad reviews as it was the only stand alone charger I could find for this battery.A mistake - it is a great idea but in practice seems poorly designed, flimsy and does not work properly. It is very difficult to remove the battery, and near impossible to pull out the mini usb connecting wire from the side without a tool (I have fitted a small piece of tape around the wire to use to pull it out). Flimsy: after 3 days use the plastic hinge on the front cover has already broken. But the biggest problem is it does not seem to charge the battery properly. The first time, with a brand new battery, it was registering 80% charge when I put it into the phone. On the second use when I swapped batteries I left it on overnight to be sure it had long enough to charge fully. Just put it back in the phone and the battery is only registering 52% charge!.

Works OK, but doesn't charge batteries fully so it seems a bit pointless so I rarely use it any longer

This USB external battery charging dock case which is portable, is excellent. Well priced and very effective, battery which was 'dead' was charged fully in good time.

Flimsy product which didn't fully charge the battery.No instructions included. Fairly simple design so I think I worked it out ok but it would be good to know for sure that I'm doing it properly!Also difficult to tell when it had finished as red light doesn't always change to green (I assume it is supposed to?!) unless twiddling with the flex makes this happen!Useful enough to keep, rather than return, but wouldn't buy another.

I bought it for an S3 because I didn't read the description very well, I think it is made more for the S3 Mini, but there is a little sponge piece at the bottom of the battery chamber, pull this out and a standard S3 battery fits perfectly. Works really well and has a built in charging lead so that the charger with charged battery can be used as an external self contained charger for any phone with the micro SD charging port.

War für nen Kumpel weil seine Ladestation den Accu nicht mehr aufladen konnte.Kann nur sagen ein Top gerät, somit bereue ich diesen Kauf nicht.
