Don't pay $20 for this. Get the Kindle PowerFast for the same price.
I pre-ordered 2 of these wall chargers because for the price they seemed like an excellent deal. I think I paid $5 instead of the $20 they're asking now.
Unfortunately I've run into 2 issues with them:
1) They don't like to stay in the wall outlet. The slightest tug on the USB cord will cause them to fall right out.
2) They do a poor job of charging. It takes a while to charge a phone using this, and sometimes it can't even keep up with the tablet while I'm using it and I start losing battery even while plugged in.
I have a Kindle PowerFast charger and it's rated at 9w, costs the exact same amount as these are currently going for, and does a MUCH better job.
If you're paying the full $20 price for these don't bother. The PowerFast charger is the same price and is a MUCH better charger.
