    Doesn't work if you have a case on your phone

    The connector end can't slide in the phone far enough if you have a case (mine is even a Belkin case!) on your phone. I'll have to take it back. Very inconvenient to have to take the case off each time I charge in the car.

    I bought this charger and it only lasted 6 weeks. It got VERY hot. Now my iPhone will not stay charged as long as it used to. I have a suspiscion it may be due to this charger since it happened after using it.

    No good with Case

    The lightning connector is about 50% bigger then the Apple OEM one.
    Thus won't work with your case in place, and basically makes the connivence of this in the car... a major hassle to pull the case on and off in order to use it...

    It is too Hot for Me

    I bought the Charger with the Lightning Connector to go with my new iPad, and it does charge. However, it became extremely hot after only 30 minutes. I am not sure that a charger should get so hot. The charger for my iPad 3, which I used for several hours while a passenger in a vehicle never got hot. I will nervously watch the new one closely when I use it the next time. I think Belkin makes superior products, so this could be a defective device.

    How dumb can Belkin be?

    This stupid charger doesn't fit into their own cases (Grip Candy Sheer, Grip Candy, Co-Mold etc.) I bought it as I already had a Belkin case expecting that a company would be detailed enough to ensure that all their products are compatible with each other.
    Shame on you Belkin!

    Terrible!!

    I purchased this charger for my car about a month ago and now it does not even charge my phone. It was basically a waste of $30. It's imperative that I have a charger for my car as I travel 50 miles for work and this phone does not hold a charge for long at all.
