my phone went from about 45% to 80% in one hour. I didn't do comparisons, but there is an excel comparison done on either xdadeveloper or phandroid sites that I found when I googled it. They ran comparison's of amp draw and charge time, and found it comparable to plugged in. I can say that it is a simple to use, and for today had no issues getting it to charge.

My only issue is I have a case that has a folding front cover and the charge won't go through 2 layers of the cover, but it definitely goes through one, and since the front flap has my credit cards, I think they might get messed up if i tried to go through both.

It came with a long (3-4') cord, and a real short cord (maybe 1') and I wondered why, but I connected it to the left side of my laptop usb's and now the pad sits right where I would normally set it, and the short cable doesn't snake all over the place.

Needless to say, first day - new toy - I like it.
