 "Needs attachments to work" Dec 01, 2008
I thought I needed this for my Kindle to work. I didn't. Then I found out it needs attachments. If I can find another use for it I may keep it.
 Four and a half stars - Nov 25, 2008
I'm ordering this item, but I have another iGo charger and have been very satisfied. (Which is why I'm buying another.) I found that my last cellphone charged faster with this charger than with the one that was provided with it, and the charge seemed to go deeper -- it lasted longer.
I did agree with one reviewer above, though -- the tip that was supposedly specific to my phone (then, a Nokia) was fairly loose-fitting, and after just a few uses, it would fall out unless I was very careful to lay my phone flat and make sure gravity wasn't pulling on the cord at all. That seemed fairly inexcusable. And I resent that they overprice the tips.
They also seem to slant their offers towards promoting certain manufacturers over others. I was looking at their gadgets on their website, and they have some deals where an item comes with several tips. It greatly added to the expense of the item, and the tips were often contradictory - if I go with one cellphone, why would I have 2 or 3 other brands, too?
Plus I'm an Apple user, and none of the tips for any item were Apple-tips, so it seemed that they were practicing a prejudicial business practice. I would pay a premium for all the tips that were "included", but they'd all be landfill to me - not one tip was anything I could use.
This seems a much better deal - just pay for the basic device, and pay for what tips you will need separately. But please, iGo, get it together about getting a proper fit.
I rate it highly because the actual charging worked fine, and was superlative to the hack equipment that actually came with my old phone.

 Tip not included ... yes this means you still have to spend over $10 to get this to work. Nov 04, 2008
VERY expensive and tip sold separately! That means you still have to buy the tip for an additional $10. In addition I had a hard time with the retractable system.

Disappointed Nov 03, 2008
The product is not as versatile as indicated. Since it was on the page with the Kindle, I thought it was used for it overseas but it isn't. It also doesn't work on my Blackberry.
 Compact Universal charging system for all your toys! Oct 30, 2008
Use this (with separate tips for each toy) to easily charge all of them from either 12 VDC or 110 VAC!
Cord "spool" ends tangles and travels great!
