first of all.... i used the search button lol and didnt find what i was looking for...

im looking for a compact, solar panel that has a USB port.. im hoping to stay on the down side of 50$ and i need something that will atleast charge a iphone 4/5 .... i've tried my Google skills but there is SOOOOO much to look at and all the wattage and stuff like that im confused lol.

A bit north of your price range but the Goal Zero Nomad 7 Guide 10 series of items has done me well. It charges multiple battery types and has a USB. Works on my iphone 4, kindle, etc. Again, a bit higher than you wanted to go but I have found it very useful.

definitely north, but if its high quality then its worth it

Has good reviews.

I'm getting one for Christmas and will try to remember to review it......

The panel works well. With partly cloudy weather it charged my Galaxy Nexus on USB mode. I haven't gotten to try it in full sun yet. The zippered compartment is set up in a poor way but doesn't impair function.

Check out the Waka Waka Charger-- 2 tools in one. The rechargeable light is excellent and the newer model has a phone charger via USB: Homepage - WakaWaka US and Amazon.com: WakaWaka POWER Smartphone Charger-Black: Patio, Lawn & Garden

JetGirl, does that actually charge your phone. Mine won't charge my Galaxy Nexus.

You know, I haven't tried it on the iPhone yet but it worked on that phone in the pic.
I'll set aside a time when I know I can run the battery down next to nothing and give it a shot.
If I recall, it worked for MiniJet's iPod Touch, though...so I don't see why it wouldn't.
