Never Be Stuck Without Your Charger Again [Posted on 2008-10-21]
I bought an iGo Everywhere after being stuck with the wrong charger one too many times. The iGo is very convenient, because now my husband and I only have to take one little pack with this charger and the tips for our various gadgets when we travel. Before it felt like we were always juggling two sets of chargers for all of our gadgets--a set for the wall plug and a set for the car. The iGo Everywhere eliminates all that clutter. It's easy to switch out the tips for different devices and the iGo website is very helpful in helping you to figure out which tip you need for your device.
My husband previously had a JavoEdge, which is very similar to an iGo. We like the iGo better though, because even though the tips are slightly more expensive, there is a wider variety of tips available. We couldn't buy JavoEdge tips for my Kindle, my 2007 cell phone, or our iPhones. All of these tips are available on the iGo.
I would recommend this to anyone with lots of devices--but I would warn you to buy the tips at the same time so you can charge something!
Compact Universal charging system for all your toys! [Posted on 2008-10-30]
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!

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.
Tip not included ... yes this means you still have to spend over $10 to get this to work. [Posted on 2008-11-04]
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.
Four and a half stars - [Posted on 2008-11-25]
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.
