bought this specifically to take on a trip.
i use it for the first time, unwrap it, i plug it to in the hotel.
it charges my phone briefly then stops charging. i can't figure out why it stopped charging so i naturally go to unplug it and plug it back up AND THE WHOLE THING FALLS APART WHEN I UNPLUG IT AND THE METAL PRONGS ARE LEFT IN THE SOCKET. THEY JUST STAYED IN THE WALL.... that's so dangerous, that could have caused a serious electrical issue, possibly even a fire. not to mention, if you don't know what you're doing, just pulling those prongs out of the plug could electrocute you. but if you leave them in, you have a huge fire hazard.
so thanks for the cheap death device. i got about 30% charge from it before it became garbage.
the cord seems to work well though. i plugged it into another base i had brought(thank God) and had no issues. but that base it comes with its pure garbage.
