Carlcoo Portable PlayBook International Travel Charger with UK/EU/NA/AUS Adapter - Black

I ordered two from the Accessory-Shop place with the most customer reviews with 5 stars standing at about 250 when ordered. The picture doesn't show that it has an OZ / NZ socket, other pictures elsewhere do. It did indeed come as advertised with all the pins. Interesting on the receipt in brackets it does say "remember Australian" so that kind of suggests that there is another model that doesn't cater for Australia. The Blackberry model number on the receipt is ACC-39344-201.It's in a proper Blackberry for retail sale, sealed up in a dusty box where you can see it's stock that has been laying around, box dated (C) 2012, pictures attached. Seems to work fine and for £3-75 including postage it's a snip. It's not pretty mind you but you can have peace of mind that it's not likely to blow up your device. Helpful hint if you are travelling with it you can put all the parts in a plastic box that you can buy from a supermarket to keep the stuff together. The box will probably cost as much as the charger.I believe there are bargains out there of genuine accessories from discontinued lines that work just as well with non iPad equipment, but not with i stuff that is fussy on connections. Just a question of finding the genuine stuff from the non genuine quality controlled stuff. This is genuine and the price is down since it's a discontinued main product.So note Accessory-Shop purchase... my tail below was when I re-ordered and the order got moved to a different product. So Accessory-Shop was the people I bought it from which also goes under the name Avant Garde Distribution Ltd.Foot note. On my Nexus 7 which the genuine Asus charger and an HP tablet charger don't keep up with it when I've had it running on power for a while (reading in bed) e.g. the battery starts dropping even thou on charge, this one is still pumping power into it so the battery doesn't start draining away with use on charge which is disconcerting. I also plugged it into a portable router which only required 1 amp and I didn't blow that up. Wanted the charger with the Australian connections for latter in the year.To all those people plugging it into devices that should only need a 1 amp charger, best not to do that, it is a 2 amp charger so it's dependent on your device regulating the charge going into it. Since it's an ugly big charger one suspects that it's over specified with components so probably works better than other 2 amp ones. It's plastered with certification codes for around the world.BEWARE IF YOU RE-ORDERAmazon software moved the order to London Magicstore and they didn't supply the international one but a European un boxed OEM parts of charger, UK and European socket in a plastic bag, not US or OZ as what I ordered and got above. Seems to be very shoddy that Amazon can permute your order to a different supplier when you do a re-order. On the positive side for this order I only wanted it for UK use else I would be sending it back !. Clearly London Magicstore are not supplying the product as advertised whilst Accessory-Shop are. The latter is the picture above. So beware. Somewhere along the line the London Magicstore advert gives the same product code but where it says "New" goes onto to say only with European and UK plugs so it ain't an International one then.PostscriptLondon Magicstore refunded me the money for the European only combination of round Euro pin and 13 amp UK - so that one was resolved and I keep the charger which to me is a very good charger well built. I note that at least one other customer of theirs was supplied with the wrong parts. Clearly the Amazon Marketplace product ID and mapping isn't working well and that was underlined when I did a re-order via the Amazon tablet application which shifted to the order to the said supplier with the incorrect pins. Basically there is the International charger as I originally got and photographed above which will work in all countries apart from countries you wouldn't want to go to in the middle east I suspect which have odd pins whilst the one that I was sent was the OEM pack for just Europe. All ended well.

I've not bought blackberry before, I've always used the chargers that came with my devices, but unfortunately, my Nexus 7 charger stopped working a few months ago, so I bought this. I had thought that at the price, it would be fake and overhead, but it was in fact genuine. The charger is well made and not likely to break.Pros:* 2A Charger - will charge very fast* Multiple country plugs - can take abroad, no need to buy adaptors* Long cable - don't have to be right next to a socket* Yellow tip - makes finding the tip easier in low lightCons:* Plug itself is rather short, not recommended for devices that require the metal plug to be quite long (B&N nook ST, Nexus 7)* Plugs are difficult to change - UK plug overlaps button so is quite hard to removeNotes:* One of the plugs that came with one of the chargers, did not fit, it appears to be for a different model of charger, but as it is not the UK plug I don't mind.Would I buy again?Absolutely, very well made fast charger, recommended to anyone who needs a new charger!

This is the 3rd one of these I have purchased.Basically, they are good for 2-3 years before the USB connector fails, now how many other charger can you say that about? Not many I suspect!I have used the Blackberry charger on a daily basis, charging up both my Blackberry Z30, Z10 and Playbook, alongside my Amazon Kindle and other Android devices...It's the BEST USB Charger I have ever had!My original one I bought 5 years ago for a BlackBerry PLAYBOOK. This I have used over a full 5 years on a regular basis, and it's been ONE of the FASTEST Chargers I have ever had for all mobile devices.Over time, and over 3 years, the charger has seen a lot of hard work, but over time things start to become a bit loose with wear - I've noticed that the OLD charger's connector is a bit loose when charging a device, so thought it was time to BUY a NEW ONE!After 5 years I bought this as a direct replacement. And it's now 75% Cheaper than it was 5 years ago.Right here are my thoughts on this device:PROS::+ OEM Branded product - BlackBerry products are always Hi Quality Builds made to last!+ Universal charger with USA, EU, and UK plug adapters+ Bright YELLOW plug - makes it easier to see it - GREAT IDEA+ Can be used with ANY micro USB device that needs charging+ Silly CHEAP price for a OEM Quality Product+ Will Work - as I have found over 3 yearsCONS::- NONE - that's how good it is
