So I always seem to forget to charge my
phone and thankfully I got a nice car charger from Boxwave, but it
just recently died on me… I plugged my phone in and nothing,
nothing at all…bummer to say the least…
Luckily our friends at USBFever just
sent me the Universal Slim Car Charger for review, I guess USBFever
saved the day for me with this excellent little product. It’s your
basic USB car adapter, it’s small and it even has a replaceable fuse,
and that’s about it, it works and works well…

A
Better Look at Things:
The Universal Slim USB Car Charger
comes wrapped in bubble wrap in a small white box, nothing special.
The charger is plain black, with a
purple fuse near the connector end, the end of the charger is where
the USB connection is.
It is really small, here’s picture
of it next to a quarter for scale:
Installation,
Testing and Comparison:
There’s nothing to installation,
just plug it into your cars cigarette lighter and you’ve got power.
So I plugged my AT&T Tilt into
it and it worked like a charm.
There’s really not much to these
device, it works, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do.
I’ve used it at least 8 times to charge my phone in the last two weeks, and it has worked fine everytime, with no problems at all.
Summary
and Comments:
Nice, quick and easy review eh?
The Universal Slim USB Car Charger
from USBFever is a great little product, it does what its supposed to
do.
I like the idea of having the
replaceable fuse so you can basically fix it yourself if need be.

Universal Slim USB Car Charger a 5 out of 5 score and our Recommended
