Ok, I just want a simple car charger for my PRICEY 32GB 3Gs..I've heard stories before about cheap chargers that can fry your expensive iPhone.

I also hear they can cause some anomalies with the iPhone's battery and the battery begins to drain a lot faster than usual after being exposed to cheap chargers... (not this particular one, I donno anythign about the performance of these)

I found this on eBay http://tinyurl.com/23mba6z

and as far as price goes , it doesn't seem to get any cheaper than this it's literally like 3.50 after shipping and taxes.

The next best thing I could find is (probably the more reliable) The Griffin Powerjolt, but at "The Source" here in Canada is well over 30 bucks, I don't feel like spending that much , since I wont be using this charger on day to day basis (only the occasional long road trips)

Is there anyone out there that has used these "mini" chargers for their 3GS and can they give me some feedback, if they are reliable or not? thanks.
