seems pretty useful if you live in a sunny place. Cheap too, that's always a major selling point for me. I laughed a little at the reviewer who said he purchased this for his Iphone as a step toward living off the grid.
 
I was given that Revive for free for doing a survey of solar professionals for a magazine, charging by the sun only gets it half full, which makes sense because it just doesn't make the power needed to push against the batteries internal resistance, especially if it gets hot. Heat causes batteries resistance to rise and then you need more potential(voltage) the push through that barrier. That little solar cell just cant do it.
It comes in very handy in a pinch though if your phone starts to die.

I have a USB port in my car and keep the solar charger topped off.
