Review for IMP80C Rapiduo:
I own a couple other multi-usb car chargers to compare this to, and these are my findings.
I give this charger a 4/5 stars.
Pros:
Charges devices almost as quickly as a wall charger.
Never lost power connection when wiggling/turning the unit
Diamond-shaped end makes for easier handling
Able to charge 2 smartphones at once
Worked on a Galaxy S3 and Droid Bionic simultaneously
Cons:
Lightweight cheap feeling
Included cable a bit short for my liking (31inches), and the USB end doesn't go all the way into the charger itself, giving it a loose feel.
The plug itself seems a tad short, and the corners of the diamond shape hit the edge of the dash where my 12v is inset. (02 BMW 330i)
Plug comes out of the lighter input rather easily, just a slight tug will take it out.
Review for NT88C:
I give this charger a 5/5 stars.
Pros:
Able to charge 2 smartphones at once, or one smart phone and 1 7" tablet simultaneously. Worked well with My Galaxy S3 and Nexus 7.
Charges my Galaxy s3 from dead to a full charge in just over 2 hours.
Solid feeling plug, longer than my other car chargers (3 1/4"), but not too long.
USB outputs clearly labeled.
Blue casing lights up looks cool!
Cons:
I prefer a longer USB cable, this one is about 32".
Comes with an itty bitty cable to connect a Nexus 7, but there's not any instructions or real information on why. It seems to work ok, I just would like an explanation, maybe a little bit more paperwork than the card it came with.

NT80CFor the NT80C, one thing that I noticed, is that it fits into the socket, but feels loose. That I believe has to do with the short, square shaped body. Another thing is that the lights built into the lightning bolts on either side of the charger, aren't very bright. For daylight use, it's hard to see if the plug is active, and at night, it is a soft low light glow that isn't very distracting, but does make it harder to find the USB slots without the use of a separate light. The NT80C has a shorter body compared to the NT88C, which is nice for cars with sockets that are set slightly into the dash. Cars with sockets that are set deeper into the dash, it may make it harder to reach the USB outlets. The NT80C also has a nice "Y" shaped design to allow for the plugs to be separated to keep the cables from tangling, but the "Y" shaped design becomes almost useless when you have an outlet set deep into the dash and to one side. This makes for the USB closest to the wall of the dash hard to access. This charger puts out a lower charge output of 1 amp per USB, for a combined output of 2.1 Amps. This charger can charge 2 phone simultaneously, but only 1 tablet at a time, and there is a nice information card to let you know this inside the packaging. From what I've seen with this car charger, I give the NT80C a rating of 4 stars.
NT88C
As for the NT88C, the body is longer, but feels more sturdy when placed into the outlet. The USB slots are stacked on top of each other, which may make it hard to reach the bottom plug without twisting the charger. It has a nice lighted rim that can be seen in the daytime, as well as not being too bright and too distracting at night. Because of the longer body, it may not fit flush to the dash of some cars, and it could be made slightly shorter so that it can be set flush into the dash. This charger puts out a nice dedicated 1 Amp, and 2.1Amps for quick powerful charging. Combined, it gives you 3.1 Amps of charging power. There was no information card to let you know what it can charge, but based off the specs, I would guess 2 phones simultaneously, and a tablet and a phone simultaneously. I wouldn't recommend charging 2 tablets off of this charger, as it may not handle the power requirements. If an information card were to be included to tell a buyer what could and should be charged off of this charger would be a great addition to the package. Based off of my findings, I give the NT88C a rating of 4 stars.
Both the NT80C and NT88C have a stylish look to them, and come with a Micro USB cable for in-car use. So overall for the purchase of both, I give them a combined score of 4 Stars.
Best Deals for New Trent Combo-Pack (2pcs) High-Speed Dual USB Port Car Chargers
After having a great experience with the IMP62B Limir hybrid stylus/pen from NewTrent, I decided to give another of their products a shot. I ordered their NT89T dual USB port charger. I attend college in Lakeland, Florida but my family lives in Miami, therefore a substantial portion of my time is spent on the road. My fiancé and I usually travel with a group of friends so we can enjoy the beaches at Miami while I visit my family, so there is always a "technical fest" in my vehicle. iPhones, iPads, iPods, Galaxies and what nots are always being used as GPS devices or gaming devices to pass time on a long road-trip. Needless to say, this product has become a MUST in all of my car adventures. The chargers arrived on Wednesday of Father's Day week, so yesterday (Friday) after class, my fiancé and I packed our bags and headed on our trip to Miami. The purchase came with two car chargers and each car chargers has two USB ports (4 ports to charge in total). I drive a 2013 Toyota Corolla and yes they do come with incorporated USB chargers, but if you own one you would know how slow and poorly it charges. Anyways, long story short, in our four hour trip the car looked like a cable fest since my iPhone was being used as a GPS so I had it plugged in one of the USB ports of the front NT89T, my fiancé's iPhone was also being charged in the front of the vehicle and that phone was used to put music in the car. Lastly, my fiancé's iPad was being charged in the second NT89T charger that we had plugged to the cigarette port on the back of the car (yes our car has 2 cigarette port chargers). This is another excellent product that I highly recommend.Pros:
1). Very stylish looks
2). Get two chargers! (a 10v and a 15v)
3). Each charger has double USB ports (so 4 USB ports)
4). The pack of chargers comes with 3 charging cables that fit samsung products
Cons:
1). Color options
2). Should have an option of what cables it comes with since I have apple products (not really a big deal since apple products already come with USB cables it's just a waste to have cables I won't be using)
3). can't plug two iPads at the same time (can plug 1 iPad or 2 iPhones unless you have two cigarette ports like me!)
Honest reviews on New Trent Combo-Pack (2pcs) High-Speed Dual USB Port Car Chargers
I was happy to see the included cables were good quality and just the right length for use in the car, just long enough to handle use while charging but not so long as to create a tangled mess. Now let me start with the dual 10w (diamond shape end); it was nice that it came with instruction card stating that it would only charge 1 tablet (or 10w/2.1A device) and nothing else when using it in this manner. I had no problems understanding that and was pleased to have this info upfront. The 10w also felt very sturdy and well constructed and the design was different than most chargers I have seen with angled ports in both directions as this would be great when traveling with my wife or a business associate that needs a quick charge while we are on the road. I really liked how it was put together it seems like this thing could take a beating and still come out working just fine and the glow of the the lights when plugged in was pleasing to look at. I am not sure how the extension tells the device to charge a tablet at a higher rate but my Kindle Fire and Asus tablets charged just fine and seemed to be correctly "fast" charging. I can see this device being use to charge my heavily used traditional USB charged devices with the dual chargers most like my cellular phone and Bluetooth headset or iPod and Bluetooth speaker, more than just a single tablet, although the option is a great backup and is great for camping or power outage when only option for power is a 12-volt outlet.The 15w charger was nice as well the smooth black and clear blue plastic was very sleek and eye pleasing. The weight was surprising it is very light very nice for traveling and putting in a pocket, feather-lite! When plugged in the blue glow of the led lights lights up the ports and is cool looking. Overall I liked this charger best as it would be the one I would use the most. The 2.1A outlet lets me charge my Galaxy S4 or tablet and the 1A charges my work phone or Bluetooth headset which dies from heavy use on the go. The quick 2.1A charging blasts my battery to full on my Samsung S4 in about 3-4 hours just like the OEM charger that came for home use. When driving and traveling I use my personal phone as a GPS and my work phone to place calls and this drains both batteries so having a way to charge both quickly and easily makes my life better. This set up is the most convenient for me to use and is exactly what I want in my car when I am on the go!
