Review on πŸ”’ Enhanced PortaPow USB Data Blocker (Red) - Ultimate Protection against Juice Jacking by Sean Xayamonty

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works for my power bank but not my SUV

I originally tried to use this to block data in my SUV so I could charge my phone faster. It wasn't working properly and my phone kept ringing saying it would charge then not, charge then not. It didn't work out, but I think the SUV is to blame. This car does all sorts of weird things when I try to connect my phone via USB. So it was a failure. However, I used one of these data blockers on my portable phone charger and it worked great. Without this adapter, the battery will only charge at an extremely low rate. I don't know exactly why. I suspect my phone thought it was connecting to a device that could transfer data. The moment I started using this data lock adapter, my phone was charged very quickly by this portable battery. It worked great. I would recommend them but be careful of the success rate when using them for a car connection.

Pros
  • USB cable
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other options
