The kids liked it but it only takes 5-8 minutes to charge and then it takes almost an hour to charge. I bought 2 because of this, but each child wanted to use their own. It's easy to use; However, it's best to have an adult plug in the charger as it needs to expose part of the bottom of the case and it's difficult to both plug in and unplug. The child will probably try to pull it out by the wire, which will most likely break. Based on these facts, I think the cost is over $25 each.
