Hi friends! Welcome to this installment of Technology Tuesday! Recently, we’ve talked about one of our favorite apps Postagram, we shared tips on how to take better pictures with your phone and talked about our favorite phone charger, the New Trent iTorch! Well today we’re talking about New Trent again!
Now I love my iPhone, and both me and my husband have them. But we also both have iPads! That’s a whole lot of electronic equipment to keep running at any given time. And while the New Trent iTorch is PERFECT for keeping your cell phone charged, if you have multiple phones to charge and/or tablets as well, then it’s likely that the New Trent iCarrier is the portable charger for you! And lucky me, I was able to review one and share my experience with you.
I ordered the New Trent iCarrier through Amazon <love!> and it was shipped to my house in no time. This time my husband tore open the package, plugged it in to give it a good charge, then put it to use! He was pretty excited about this one, because I’m more of a “I need to keep my iPhone charged” person and he definitely uses his iPad much more.
As you can see by the relative size here to an iPad and iPhone, that the iCarrier is bigger than the iTorch. But what would you expect from a device that can charge tablets and phones, at the same time? It was still smooth, sleek and quite portable.
Here are a few features:
- Heavy-duty 5V/2A & 1A dual USB charger charges 2 devices at once rapidly. 2A output is optimized for iPads/tablets and 1A output is optimized for iPhones/smartphones.
- Enjoy 55 hours of movie playback time for the iPhone 5, 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G, and iPod Touch (all generations).
- 80% of iPad 4 & iPad 3 battery life and 120% of iPad 2 battery life
- Compatible with all major smartphones including iPhone 5, 4S, 4, 3GS, 3G, Android (Samsung, HTC, Motorola, LG, Nokia, Blackberry, Sony Ericsson, etc.)
- IMP120D iCarrier is compatible with original Apple iPhone & iPad charge cable (no iPhone/iPad cable or adapters included)
And we put it to use. With two iPhones and two iPads there is always a device that needs to be charged! And it’s so nice not to have to be stuck next to an outlet on the wall, right? It’s also great when the kids are watching movies on my iPad and it needs a charge, because you know that conversation of “the battery is dead” does NOT go over well with the little ones. Problem solved! What I also loved was a couple of weekends ago I had to go on a quick turnaround road trip. Though I didn’t take my iPad, I did want my iPhone to be able to be charged anytime, anywhere during the trip. So instead of my New Trent iTorch, I charged up and took the New Trent iCarrier! The iCarrier can fully charge your iPhone up to 6 times before needing to be recharged! PERFECT for a trip, don’t you think?
So are you sold? You should be. I received the iCarrier for review, but if you have multiple phones and tables like we do, at just $76.95 on Amazon it is definitely worth the investment!

I could totally use this because my phone is constantly dying even though I try to keep the data turned off. Over the weekend I was on a roadtrip and tried to charge my phone in the car whenever I could but I could never get it past 30% because we kept stopping to get out and do things. Which was fine but not so good for my phone which I wanted to use the camera on it to take pictures. I could see myself using this on roadtrips all summer and beyond!
Our family could definitely use this. We moved up to PA from MD in August 2012 and we are constantly driving back and forth to visit. We have 2 little ones and it would be nice to have something to entertain them with that we could charge on the go.
My phone is ALWAYS dead, would love to have this just for the ease!
I would love to win this for one of those moments when I switch cars with the hubby and after running errands you look at you phone and *wham* those little panic modes when you see 20%. Eek!
I would love to be lucky enough to win one of these to keep all our gadgets fully charged.
I use my technology always and it keeps dying and with this it’ll always be charged:]
I would use this ALL the time!!
I would really love to win this because my phone is always running low on battery power!
I could definitely use this in my life…even though it is unintentional I am infamous for having my iphone die. My family and friends would be forever grateful if I had something to help me out on the go 🙂
This would be SO AMAZING before Haven! I wouldn’t have to worry about my phone or IPAD being charged!
My husband and I travel a lot and this would be such a great tool to keep our devices charged!
I SO need this! I’m on the go constantly and this would be great!
i take the bus and sometimes don’t always have a chance to charge my phone all the way before I head home. or I am working offsite and not able to charge my phone all day. would be a total lifesaver!
I want to win because my teenage son frequently takes school trips for sports, UIL etc, These are sometimes all day affairs and they travel by bus, so he has no way of charging his phone. It would be great to not worry about his phone dying before he returns home.
I need the Trent iCarrier because my cell phone battery always dies just when I need to use the phone the most.
I’d like it for my son. He is a hiker and I would like to know he always has a fully charged phone on his outings.
My hubby and I travel often and this would work perfect; we could also use at family picnics and gatherings as he is on call 24/7.
I’d love to have it for our vacation this fall!
I’d love to win because I’m a college student and all day on campus. I’d love to have a way to keep my iPod charged!

I want to win because my phone’s battery dies quickly often at inconvenient times. This would help to charge my phone when I’m away from home and prevent it from turning off.
These always come in handy!
I would love to win one of these to keep all our gadgets fully charged.
I.love.this.
I’m a blogger and attend a lot of social media events where I need to be able to tweet and IG from my phone the entire time. This would help kill the anxiety I have of running out of battery at the events!
So my hubs and I can keep our phone charged when hiking and camping
I need it for long airplane rides!
I am always using my phone or ipad and would love to have something like this with me all the time just in case I need to charge one of my electronic items!
This would definitely be a great accessory when we are out. Our LO loves to drain our phones whenever he possibly can so this would be a good backup.
It is so handy, so I’d love to win it!
I am notorious for letting my battery run out without charging it (my husband usually does it for me because I forget). It would be nice to have one of these to save me when my husband isn’t around to rescue me (or rather my phone…)
I am always on the go and for some reason my devices always are going dead or almost dead so this would be very helpful to me to stay connected on the go!
I would love to win…I have one already, but I have four boys and when we take trips it seems they all want to charge there ipod, DS, and phones all at the same time. I could use a second one = ) You can charge any device you can plug into a usb, it’s AWESOME!
