Not bad - sticks out a bit too much for me Sep 27, 2008
I am using this in my car, and was planning to use it with a charger that is located in the center column - but it stuck out a bit too much. So I'm using it in the normal "ash-tray" charger.

As a USB charger it seems to work as advertised.

Great portable USB power! Sep 23, 2008
This little USB hub needs to be in your glove compartment. It will power any USB device so iPods, iPhones, etc can be charged (or used!) while on the go. The quality is excellent, it's well designed, it's priced right. Highly recommended!

Charges my nano without any problems Apr 11, 2008
Use it with the USB power connector that came with my ipod nano. It works great. I play music through my ipod that is connect to my car stereo through a male to male plug connected to aux input on the front of my stereo. The sound is great while charging. Cant tell a difference between when it is plugged into the charger of not.

Costs more but is worth it if space is cramped Mar 10, 2008
Bought this from Amazon about 5 months ago to keep my Blackberry 8800 charged in my car. This product when used with my original Blackberry USB charger was about 1/3 the cost of a dedicated Blackberry car charger.

Pros:
1. Small and thin - this unit is smaller than the "traditional" USB power adapters that cost $2-$3 like this one from Eforcity. Size was important given the limited space I have available.

2. Angled USB Port - again, unlike other traditional models, the Kensington is angled so access to the USB port is easier.

3. Excellent power delivery - fully charges my Blackberry in 30 minutes while it's in use and connected to my car's bluetooth handsfree system. Even fully charged my 5G iPod in about an hour while it was playing through an AUX port (not recommended though due to the constant whine as another reviewed pointed out). An old adapter I'd used previously didn't have enough power to both charge and use my phone yet alone an iPod.

Cons:
1. Price - obviously not the cheapest option.

2. Blinding blue LED - with the angle, the blue power LED is bright, super bright actually. Not a big issue during the day, but it can be distracting at night. A small piece of black electricians tape or similar material works fine except if you experience Con #3...

3. Loose contact with car's power receptacle - probably more symptomatic of my car than the adapter, but it doesn't always make a tight fit. I've tried adjusting the contacts but couldn't make enough of a difference to help. Spinning it to a different location usually works but the only way I can tell for certain is from the unholy blue LED power light.

Was it worth $13? For me, yes; but I'd have given it 5 stars if the cost was closer to $8.

Cannot play while charging Jan 27, 2008
I cannot play my MP3 player while it is charging. There is too much static. I use the AUX jack on my radio, so I'm not sure why there is interference coming through the power adapter.
