Good Concept but Poorly Executed: each Charger is 3 Loose Components! [Posted on 2008-02-07]
You are better off buying 2 separate chargers -auto and wall- for $5 each from cellularfactory than paying $9.99 just for the tip and $30 for iGo which comes with only one cable.
iGo concept is nice: that you carry one set of auto and wall chargers for different devices but change just the tip for each device. In practice, I found the following problems with iGo charger and tip:
1. Each iGo charger is 3 components: wall/auto unit, cable, and the tip that goes into the device and these 3 components do not fit securely, especially the cable keeps coming out of the wall or auto unit.
2. The charger does not come with even one tip. So make sure you order the tip for your device along with the charger. They should have at least enclosed one common mini usb tip in the package. Charger itself is cheap but tips are very expensive - that is where they rip you off.
3. You get only one cable. So you have to carry the same cable to your car and then home. Why couldn't they have 2 cables in the package? Keep one in car and one in the house.
4. Build is very cheap and shows poor fabrication.
5 Instead of a well made bag/box to keep 4 components, it comes with a cheap nylon bag which does not hold different tips, chargers etc snugly. They keep falling out.
The result is that this product leaves you with a bad taste. Every time the cable comes out of the auto or wall charger - and that happens a lot - you will regret buying this iGo charger!
