Review by Michael Schell for 3 in 1 iPod Charger Kit, Home/Travel Charger, Car Charger, Retractable USB kit.

From what I’ve experienced, the other reviewers are correct: this product is either not designed to charge an iPhone 3G from a wall outlet (the most likely case since the Firewire pinouts were removed for the 3G), or else has such quality control problems that only a minority of wall units sold (judging from the reviews) actually work. The presentation on my iPhone is that the status icon on the top of the iPhone switches to the charging icon, and the full screen image with the green battery bar graph appears. But the unit doesn’t really charge. And when you try to “slide to unlock” when connected to the wall charger, the arrow button never slides, and you cannot get to the Home screen (or the Enter Passcode screen if you have a passcode).
There are several online reports to the effect that several generic third-party iPod/iPhone chargers no longer work with the iPhone 3G. That seems to be true here, despite the claims to 3G-compatibilty.
The USB cable should work fine, though you can purchase it very cheaply by itself. I’ve not tried the car charger, and honestly wasn’t in a big hurry to do so since I’ve traditionally had bad experiences with such devices (although I must admit that today’s rechargeable batteries are much more resilient than the NiCads and lead acid gel contraptions that us greybeards started out with in the 1980s).
So your experience may be better, and it’s not a major purchase, but since it’s claimed that this is iPhone 3G compatible, I’m giving it one star and suggesting you look elsewhere.

I bought one of these and was very disappointed when it did not work with my 3G Iphone. I swapped the usb cable that came with the Iphone and plugged it into the car charger as well as the wall charger. Both worked fine. Oddly enough the retractable cable works with the wall charger that came with the Iphone as well as my PC for both syncing and charging. So simply swap the cables and you are good to go.

The car charger does not charge my iPhone 3G at all.
The wall charger connects to the phone like its charging, but it really doesnt do anything. I think it charged 10% overnight.

These sets are NOT compatible with 3G OR the other iphone my son has! (I think there are only two types so I wonder what phones these MAY work on???)
