TORRASFlexLine 40W for iPhone 16 Charger, Dual-Port USB C Charger Block with Retractable Cable, Travel Charger for iPhone Charger Fast Charging, Type C Charger for iPhone 15 with Foldable Plug

Like many in this modern age of technology, I’ve gone through a fair share of power adapters, charging blocks, and wall chargers; from stock/purchased, single/multi, and brand-name/aftermarket options, most people have their own preferences when choosing their selection.Personally, I’m a fan of tried-and-true products that operate as marketed, and meet/exceed expectations; the TORRAS FlexLine 40W Charger Block certainly lives up to this. The primary areas that I gravitate towards are:Power/Speed- The main focus of any charging block is its charging capabilities, so my thoughts are based on personal experience with various products within the range; this excludes low-power (i.e. 5-15W stock block) and high-power (i.e. 65+W power adapter) options.- This TORRAS Charger Block immediately raises the standard of single-line chargers, doubling the average 20W USB-C charger to push 40W output. However, it’s the consistency of output across the product that impressed me.- Not only is the retractable built-in USB-C cable capable of 40W output on its own, but the additional USB-C port is as well (assuming an appropriate cable is used).- When used concurrently, the output is still 20W + 20W, displacing the need for having 2 separate blocks.- I can’t comment on the durability of the built-in cable, but they’ve noted thorough testing; however, it “feels” slightly fragile, likely due to its flat shape for retractability.- It’s also a bit short, measuring at 26.8”; although a longer cable can be used with the USB-C port, I’d still prefer my “short” cable length to be closer to 3’, and use the port for 6’ cables.- I’m also not particularly fond of how the built-in cable is accessed, even though it looks clean and compact. There’s 2 ways that feel most natural to me, but neither seem ideal for the connection tip: either push-slide the connector upwards (scraping the tip against the block), or pulling the connector down (directly grabbing the tip).Portability- As much as I’d like a longer and/or “stronger” built-in cable, I’m a HUGE fan of its compact and portable size, and would not want a different cable at the expense of its portability.- Most charging blocks I’ve used either similar in size with weaker output, or similar output with much larger and oblong dimensions; some don’t have a way to fold or cover the plug, and nearly all don’t have a way of storing a cable (or even come with one).- Its dimensions are slightly larger than 2 AirPod Pro cases stacked against each other. BUT the best part is the optimized structure and folding plug placement; this connects to any wall outlet WITHOUT covering the other outlet, leaving room for other things.- Far too many wall chargers take up outlet space, or require use of the bottom outlet to save room for top outlet use. This is a non-factor with this TORRAS FlexLine.- One minor “nice-to-have” detail (that I’ve also mentioned on another review) is having a carrying case/bag included. This charging block may be durable, but other items it’s potentially carried with may not be, especially with the ends of the plug and connector tips partially protruding.Expansion- As mentioned above, this charger comes with a built-in retractable USB-C cable and an additional USB-C port. This allows expansion across a wider range of charging options. While the built-in cable covers the widely-used USB-C that MANY portable electronic devices utilize, the additional port can be used for other cable types that connect via USB-C to charge (i.e. lightning cables).- It’d be nice to receive an additional longer ~40W USB-C cable packaged in the box as well, but I understand why there isn’t.This well-developed charging block from TORRAS has definitely made a strong case to consistently follow me on every trip, from days at the office to extended vacations. Paired with their MiniMag Power Bank, Magnetic Stand Phone Case, and any of their other quality products, all bases are fully covered before walking out the door.

For what felt like the 50th time this month, my kid was standing at the door of my office while I was on a Zoom, asking for help finding the charging cable for his iPad. Somehow, my kid always has the charging block but has no idea where the cable went. Thinking that there has to be a better way, I searched Amazon and found this nifty little unit. From Torras, no less. A year ago, I had no idea what Torras was. But two really nice phone cases and a super slick tempered glass screen protector (with a 'no way even I can mess this up' install kit) later, I look for Torras first when seeking quality phone and tablet accessories.Anyway, this unit is what I've come to expect from Torras. High quality, great form factor, and thoughtfully designed with nice materials. I had not even considered that someone was selling a charging block with a retractable cord, but here it was. I saw some from brands I've never heard of but when I buy those, I often have those charging blocks run hot and it's pretty concerning - so I found comfort in ordering the Torras one. Simply put, it just works well. From the folding plug, to the clickety retractable cord, to how cool (temp) the charging block runs, to the speed of the charge, to the nice form factor - I, and my kid, can't complain. One thing I have to fix - is stopping my kid from pulling and retracting the cord like an addictive fidget toy. But if it broke, with the Torras warranty, I have no doubt I can write them a message, ask for help, and they probably will.I'll follow up this review if it breaks, but I can tell this will last a while.

Great charger for traveling. Everything stores nicely from the retractable 28” cord to the fold-in plug. There is an additional type C port for another charging cable (not included) in the event you need to charge another device. I got the type C gold option. This is my 4th item from Torras and I’ve been happy with the quality of their products so far! (2 phone cases, minimag Power Bank, Magnetic Ring Stand)

It's a great concept for a charger. I like the Retractable cord on it and that everything go back nice an neat.. however it's fairly bulky and the cord itself is rather short. I think improving on the design would benefit the charger.I did revieve compensation for this product and my review.

The item itself has a very “Apple” quality feel to it. The weight, plastic build and component snap of the retractable cord and outlet plug are satisfying.The plug is working out well. With its compact size it doesn’t take up much space on the wall outlet and the retractable cord length is reasonably long for quick charging sessions.

The charging speed is nice. Wanted to give this all star but the retractable charging cable is to dam short and doesn't feel that strong. I had to use my old usb c charging cable as that was long enough.

Great charger for tight spaces and travel. Love the retractable cord. 40 watts of power for charging my phone or iPad.

Works great, charges my iphone 15 fast and very convenient for traveling! The retraction mechanism operates smoothly without issue.
