iGo® MicroJuice 2.1A Dual-USB Wall Charger

Comments about iGo® MicroJuice 2.1A Dual-USB Wall Charger:

The iGo USB charger is compact and has a folding plug, nice features for travel. I accidentally dropped it about four feet onto a hard tile with nary a crack or chip. Great for charging my wife's LG mobile phone and my Samsung phone as well as our iPad (with an appropriate cable).

The ability to charge two devices at once is nice and the 2.1 amp power output means quick charges.

Unfortunately, it will not charge my Blackberry Playbook although the PB charges just fine with the iGo USB cable and either one of our phone chargers.

The iGo charger needs an LED power indicator so you can tell it is receiving power. And that cord: I guess I am spoiled by Apple's nice flexible (silicon-based?) cords; the iGo cord is too heavy and stiff.

Still, I'll continue to travel with it; I'll just need to pack a separate Blackberry charger. The whole idea of the iGo charger was to carry one charger for everything instead of multiple chargers and I will still have to carry two chargers.

In the end, I'm glad I got the iGo USB charger on sale; I'd probably return it if I had paid full price: It's just not worth the full list price.

I own other iGo accessories and in general I like iGo's quality and design; this unit, however, comes up short.

I'd recommend it to a friend, but not to a Blackberry Playbook using friend.
