Summary: This product is a waste of money
Comment: This product is a waste of money. It does not support B-tips, which are still around for peices of equipment for which they are not supporting anymore, and have no A-tips available. Of course, they do not advertise that the B-tips do not fit.
I consider it a peice of junk and it will be returned.

Summary: Convenient for travel, but not for everyday
Comment: I got the iGo Everywhere charger set not to replace my regular manufacturer-provided chargers, but to supplement them. I have my phone and iPod chargers at home, and I keep this little packet in my car (or my suitcase) for when I'm away from home to minimize the tangle of cords.
First, the cons:
The retractable cord is a very nifty idea, but also a bit cumbersome as it makes the cord very heavy, and thus it becomes impossible to balance the device you're charging on, say, the arm of a chair or a dashboard unless you find a way to secure it against something else so the weight of the cord doesn't drag your electronic device to crash on the floor. Also, the included carry-bag is rather flimsy, and doesn't have spare room for more than one or two tips(and even then its not a very secure arrangement as stuff tends to just fall right back out of the elastic edges of the case). Not a big issue if you just keep it in one place relatively securely tucked away, but a potential problem if it's going to get tossed about. And this may be just me, but I've never been able to get a full charge out of the car charger. It'll boost it over half the battery, but never seems to reach fully charged. This isn't a big problem for me as I don't rely on charging my stuff in the car, and the iGo Everywhere includes a wall adapter so I just have to find a wall outlet and then I'm good.
The pros:
It IS very nice not having to have a wild tangle of multiple chargers for a bunch of different electronics. Having just the one charger set, plus a variety of tips, is really quite convenient when space could be an issue (such as in a briefcase).
Overall, a worthwhile additional charger, but not great as a primary charger.

Summary: AC/DC Charger together
Comment: Although the plastic looks and feels like very cheap plastic and as if were to fall it'd come apart easily (mine has yet to fall), this is a nice idea of having a AC (home) and DC (on the road) charger for your Kindle or such.
Keep in mind though you NEED a tip that's appropriate for your device. Be it the A00 tip for your Kindle or whatever. Having this alone will not do anything for you.
It comes with a nice black bag to keep both chargers and the wire spool inside of along with the tip.

Summary: Excellent
Comment: I've already been using the iGo regular wall charger for traveling, but find that this combo kit is even better. I keep it with me in my car and whenever I need it, whether in the car or in my office, its so convenient.

Summary: Works well for recharging my Kindle
Comment: I bought this with the iGo A00 Power Tip as a backup AC charger for my Kindle.
It works well. The pieces (charger, cable, tip) fit together snugly. The retractable cable is very convenient for quickly packing and unpacking.
The main drawback is the combination of charger + retractable cable + tip is getting on for twice the size of the native Kindle charger. But the charger can be used for other devices. Mine was shipped immediately, unlike the current long backorder delays on Kindle accessories!
If you don't need the DC car charger, the iGo Universal Wall Charger will also work with the iGo Kindle tips.
