I'm not a fan of car chargers with hardwired cables... especially coiled cables.
Chances are... you already have a USB car charger... I'd rather just buy the $19 Lightning cable from Apple.

I guess lightning really is faster than thunderbolt. Still waiting on more of those accessories...

The correct abbreviation for a watt is "W" and not "w". Makes me wonder if their products are designed by real electrical engineers.
Don't be pedantic. Besides, naming the product is marketing's job, not the engineers'.

Oh, "strike"... I get it. Like striking a match. Because it matches your lightning connector.
Wait.
Wait.

Why are they more expensive than apple's genuine products?
Apple liscences their connectors, and the accessory-makers want to make a profit as well.

I'm a bit confused as to the purpose of getting one of these car chargers for $40. I just purchased a lightning to USB cable from Apple, and a USB to cigarette lighter adapter from amazon for $10. I saved $10 and I can even use the USB to Lightning without the cigarette lighter unlike this cable.
If this was $20, I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Until then, I'll just combine the two cables and keep my $10.
What i really want is a dock!

I'm at a loss to understand why the major charger manufacturers like Belkin (http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J075-Belkin/p/P-F8J075) and Scosche continue to sell hardwired charges in this age of USB connectors. Instead of being able to replace a bad cable or a bad charger, you have to replace the whole unit? Who buys these things? Is it just because people don't know any better?
