Literally within one minute of opening the package in which charger arrived at my door, one of the plastic clips that secures the charger to the phone whilst in use had broken. I plugged the charger in and connected it to my phone in order to see if it did indeed work. Seeing the indication on my phone's display that it was charging, I removed the plug only to see a disconcerting piece of black plastic break off the end of the plug end of the charger. It still functions, but with only one clip connecting phone and charger, I have to be careful to place the phone in such a way that the plug won't spontaneously pop out. Of course, I now handle the charger with kid gloves, as I live in fear that the other clip will break off, rendering the thing completely useless.
