Veho Pebble Verto 3,700 mAh Portable Rechargeable Power Bank for Smartphones, Apple iPhone, Samsung, LG, HTC, Nokia, Android, USB Powered Devices - Grey (VPP-201-CG)

The concept of this product is a pretty sweet one. It has many varying inputs so that you can charge multiple items, which of course drew my attention. It charged my Samsung Galaxy SIII completely one and a half times I paid 25 dollars for it on Groupon a little under a year ago, and it lasted up until last week. It no longer charges - or rather, the charger cable that I had for it crapped out and I can no longer use it. I would not be surprised, however, to find that the product simply no longer works at all.The Veho Pebble charges via the smaller, USB to non-usb input/output instead of a micro or mini USB. If you lose the cable or that input/output, you can't just replace it with the micro or mini cable that you have around that house. The parts of this product are exremely small. Misplacing them is relatively easy. Creating a product where the smallest parts are crucial to the function of the product is straight up obnoxious. And then, as is the case for me, if your cable breaks, that's it - you're completely screwed, there is no way to rectify the fact that your cable is broken unless you want to buy the product all over again (a solution I did attempt when I lost a piece - the salesperson of that one failed to tell me that his/her product didn't hold a charge either - I should have taken that as a warning sign that mine would lose its ability to charge as well. For five bucks, I still tolerated the inconvenience.)My Micro-USB part was also beginning to fall apart on me.I had expected that since this product cost 2x more than it did on Groupon that I was getting a relatively sturdy, capable charger and that it would hold up to my abuse (I'm very tech dependent). This is obviously not the case. Instead of getting a deal, I got ripped off pretty badly.Despite my complaints, this product gets two stars merely because I was satisfied with the juice it provided me while it did so, and because the concept was a decent one, albeit poorly executed. I suggest you look elsewhere for a better product, however.

First one arrived clearly opened and used and then taped back together. Send it back for a new one, and the new one arrived in the same condition. It was a gift and I was leaving on a trip the day after it arrived, so I had to deal with what I had. Gave the gift and in less than one month no longer worked properly.

It was missing 2 parts so I returned it.

My friend found his invaluable as do I. His stopped recharging but the place where I bought it from didn't sell them anymore so couldn't replace it. So I bought another for him from here and he'll treat this one more nicely! I always carry mine in my handbag to charge my phone on the go. So very invaluable.

I loved the shape of this little charger. It fit perfectly in my small bag on holiday but when I came to charge it up again after using it for the first time, it wouldn’t charge … I tried different cables … and sadly it remains uncharged!Amazon were great and refunded me, but it was disappointing. This style would have been ideal for me.

I bought this as a gift, but I have an earlier version, which I bought several years ago. The older version had different adapter ‘heads’ for different devices but these really didn’t work properly and I to replace these (except for the power adaptor) for Apple specific cables. Worked well after this. Small slimline design and lightweight with neoprene sleeve Case. Middle level battery capacity, good for those who only want to use as an emergency charger on the go, rather than the higher capacity power banks. The new version comes with a charging cable which is MicroUSB so customers with Apple devices will need to use a separate Lightning cable.It will also power any USB powered device. I now used mine to supply power to a USB powered infrared heated back warmer with great results. I may purchased another for a similar purpose as a gift.

Very good price and delivery from Speedygames. Arrived in less than 24 hours via Royal Mail despite using 'standard delivery'. Brand new, unopened and worked straight out of the box. Phone recharge speed adequate.

Excellent present very robust and worth buying especially for holidays
