Good apple device charger

I was fed up of cheap chargers from amazon had 3, that all went Pete tong. So the saying it true buy cheap buy twice, or 3 times in my case.

Any who, just bought this charger off the Apple Store, yes it's a bit pricey but it chargeres my iPhone 4s and my iPad 3 with out any issues! Looks pretty cool too

I had a few cheap ones before breaking down and buying an expensive one. Fortunately, since I have a company-provided iPhone I used my company credit card for the charger purchase.

The cheap ones seem to break frequently. I went through a few of them and they never lasted. I bought one from the brand Rocketfish (pretty popular aftermarket accessory brand here -- not sure about across the pond) and it was about the same price (converted to $USD) as the official Apple one you posted. I bought mine about two years ago when I still had my VW and it's never faltered.

Basically, you get what you pay for with this stuff. CAR HISTORY

Note that this item is not recommended by Apple for the 'New iPad', just for the 1 and 2.

The cheap iPhone/iPad chargers are all fakes and are rubbish! Buy a well known aftermarket make

2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Stornoway Grey

Anyone routed it in a clever way I could blatantly steal? Would be nice to have a dock in the small rectangular cubby next to the rear aux in.

Did a quick 'iPod dock' search but it returns a LOT of hits! HSE, td4 - Stornoway Grey - full alpaca interior - 2011 front facelift - privacy glass.
Just added side steps, replaced the yellow side lights & body coloured handle and wing mirror covers. Now for the spoiler!
