iGO PS00271-0001 USB to iGo Charging Cable

Not much to write other than it shipped fast and worked well. This cable went well with "iGo Power Tip for Original Amazon Kindle and Select Sprint Smartphones." I use it to power my bluetooth audio kit from Belkin in my car.

I'm not aware of an iGo USB charging transformer, so I've always been limited to using the numerous tips with their corded wall or car products. It's even my understanding that iGo does not wish to produce pluggable, USB-capable chargers. This cable allows me to use any power supply with a USB output.Some have mentioned disappointment that this does not provide data transfer capabilities between the attached devices. This is undoubtedly intentional. Cables that allow a target device to be recognized as data-capable typically charge at a lower rate, supposedly to prevent rapidly draining the batteries in the host, source device. If you want the highest charge speed, you want a non-data-capable cord.This is well made, a good length, and includes the two-tip holder which I'd broken on my original. I bought two.

I only bought a new one because I inadvertently destroyed the old one by pulling the plug out with my teeth. WHOOPS. Other than mouth-based mishaps, these are pretty durable. I'd had my old one for years before I ate it. Durability is particularly important because the iGO stuff has been mostly discontinued, so you're kind of SOL if one of your parts fails and you can't find a reseller. I use mine to charge both my phone [Micro USB adapter] and my Zune [Zune adapter...I know, I'm probably one of the six people in the world who own a Zune intentionally] without the need for a huge mass of cables around my shifter. Good times.

I bought this a while back, it charges well but its super short, what can you do with a cord of this length? Nothing! It's no use...

This is stated as a power cable so I can cut it some slack but I would LOVE this product if it also was a data cable. The way it is now I still need my iPod cable and my USB Mini cable if I need to synch or move anything to my device. If they could have created a multi-tip full USB cable this would be 10 times better.

This item broke two days after I got it, the plastic piece that hold the prongs into the charger that plugs into the wall, it comes with the cord but only one of the attachments needed to use the cord for my phone.

The cable does what it is supposed to: plug into a usb outlet eg on a computer or wall outlet with 2 prong adaptor, and then plug into your phone with its specific igo power tip. I got this for my wife who is always forgetting to charge her phone, and since I'm usually with her shopping, I can charge it through our laptop between coffee shops or borders/barnes bookstores. She has a blackberry curve which uses a A32 tip, and I also use it to charge my iphone with the A133 tip.

The iGo system is really invaluable if you use some slightly vintage electronics.These days you either need a micro USB or a Lightning connector.But you use an old iPod or MP3 player, old flip phone, PDA or other small electronic device then you know it is kind of a drag to have multiple cables about. But this has made life simpler for me, just search for you device + igo tip and you should be golden.
