Pros: -Small in size-Costs next to nothing-Useful for charging host of devices that connect via 5 pin mini-USB-Has a loop for attaching to keyring or bag
Cons: It could just be the one that I received, but I have to wrestle it a little to plug it into my Blackberry. Fit is a little snug in other devices as well, but I guess some people may see that as a plus as it's more secure. But like I said, it could just be that first one I received. Will be buying more, so I'll see.
Other Thoughts: I have charged/connected many of my devices with this little guy. Just to list a few, I have tested on my Blackberry, in car GPS, WD Passport external drive, two generic 2.5" HDD Enclosures (one of which requires extra power if the cable is too long. No such problems with this little guy)
Bottomline: Definitely recommended. It's very small and takes up practically no space at all. Keep it in your backpack/bag or buy a few to leave at the office and home. It could save your life one day.
Pros: + I can use it with my MintyBoost and many miniUSB devices such as phones.+ It's extremely cheap for what it does.+ It has decent build quality.+ It doesn't take up too much space and doesn't have all that cable slack.
Cons: - If you do hook it up to a MintyBoost + phone and try calling by holding the phone to your ear, this might fall off and so will the MintyBoost D: It seems fine though.- Not practical in applications where a heavy device hooks up to the PC (like a TI-84 lol)- With no cable slack comes no cable. I have a USB extension cable though so no worries.
Other Thoughts: It looks exactly like the dongle that came with the Acekard RPG (one of my influencing decisions). It looks nice with it sticking out of my PC along with the RPG (since I got a review card w/o the dongle).
Bottomline: If you need a cheap connector like this, GET THIS. It's so cheap and useful and tiny, the applications are virtually endless.
Pros: Works! Built well. Simple. Useful.Easier to carry than a cable. Has a ring to connect to something. You can use it as a cellphone charm...
Cons: No internal shielding. Shields are not even connected. Just the 4 wires. This might lower your speeds...
Other Thoughts: Don't take it apart. It will break. The two parts are glued together. Nothing much to see in there anyway. Might want to connect the shields if you need to.
Bottomline: Notice the difference between this and sku.441. Connect your cellphone directly to your laptop. It will be face up, or face down depending on your choice. Mind the orientation of your sockets before you choose. Good luck!
Pros: - Very cheap.- Works great like it has to.- Easy for MP3 players, small digital photo frames and things like that. Just plug in and it does work.- Also working great with sku.2382.
Cons: - The build quality. I had it one time in my hand, and the protection felt out of my hand! Not very nice at all!
Other Thoughts:
Bottomline: Just pay a bit more if you want some better build quality. It's working, but the build quality isn't nice at all! The protection felt out of my hand, and the only thing left in my hand was the USB connector and the little USB connector!
