PowerLine Cable

I am having the same issue as Lewis from Leeds, It will only charge the New iPad to 84% then displays 'Not Charging'. This happens everytime so its definitely a problem. The smaller USB leads charge it fully however.

Originally bought this for use with my iPhone 4S, which it works perfectly, but having just bought the new iPad 3rd gen it seems to be able to charge to ~80% and then displays the not charging message. The original Apple USB cable seems to charge passed this though so I don't think it is a hardware error. Still a really useful product which allows me to lay in bed and charge my iPhone :-).

Really good idea just a couple of small problems 1, the bit that plugs into the iPhone keeps seperating to reveal bare wires( not good ) 2, the charge plug does not fit into the original iPhone bumper case an you have to remove it to charge which is a pain. Other than that it's great.

Fell in love with this cable to start with, unfortunately it didn't last. Main complaints are: 1) The marking to show which way round the cable should slot into the iPhone (minor I know, but becomes annoying) 2) the section that slots into the iPhone started to fall to pieces in a latter of days (you can clip it back together but that's not really the point) 3) the cable has now stopped working to chargingy phone (suspect its to do with item 2). Basically, it's a great idea, but you'll wish it was made by apple as the quality is no where near as good.

This works fine with iphone but doesn't charge my ipad at all even when used with original adapter. Very disappointed as I bought it specifically to use with my ipad.

Does this cable work with iPad2? Because I have read that with other chargers of the same type that it's a little bit big for the socket of the iPad2. Thanks!

Will this work without removing the iPhone 4 bumper? Ive found that only official apple cables will fit without taking the bumper off.

I must buy this but does Firebox sell any USB hubs so I can connect it to another plug because we always fight over whoever uses the charger.

This is an absolutely fantastic idea! Definitely going to buy this!
