iGo Power Tip A133 for iPod and iPhone - 30-pin dock connector

It works great. I love the igo charger, no matter what phone or blue tooth I use there is a tip available to charge it. The tips cost a lot less than a whole new charger for every time you get a new phone. You can have a tip for anyone in the family and they can use the charger in your car or on the home charger. I have the split end charger and can charge 2 at a time.

It works as described. I have used the I-Go charger, and I have lessened the clutter of chargers and other accessories needed when traveling or just going about your daily business.I have seen reviews by some who say that it stopped working after a few months. Please use the 'sliders' or holders that hold it on place to the phone charger outlet, as I suspect that it failed to work after being pulled out too many times without correctly dis-attaching it.

I have the iGo charger and many tips and love the concept - and until now, the performance...since the A61 tip (charges my iPods) didn't work, I ordered the A133. It doesn't work either - I get the dreaded "charging not supported" message. No fun when you are in a foreign country and need power. I am going to contact iGo and see what they say. Stay tuned. In the meantime, check out the Kensington battery pack - charge that and your iPhone at the same time, and carry the slim backup battery with you. Works great. (Of course, I got to pay for mine with a weak dollar while overseas. Thanks, iGo.)

The A133 works for iPhone and iPad, but there is another iGo tip that looks identical, with a number of A61. It does not work with either of those two devices. It apparently works with an iPod. This one works great for me to reduce the number of chargers I have to take on my travels and in my car.

What more to say about a simple plug. It works. No problems thus far.But since these are made for iPhones and iPod Classic/Video/Nano/Touch which all come in either two or more colors, the white adapter attached to the iGo black cord plugged into a black/neon-colored iPod/iPhone looks a bit incongruent.It should have been plain black like most all of the other iGo tips as it normally stays attached dangling at the end of the black iGo power cord. Even when plugged into a white iPhone/iPod a black adapter would still look good as it would not appear to be part of the iPhone/iPod, unlike a white adapter which would seem to be an extension of the iPhone/iPod thereby detracting from the smooth, graceful lines of the Apple device with this white flat chunk of plastic poking out the bottom followed by a black cord (if the cord was white as well, then that's a different but acceptable aesthetic).Since its a small, plain adapter, the only review that be done on it are quality and aesthetics. 5 for quality but 2 for aesthetics averages a 3 to me in my truncated math...

Great idea! I wish that I had thought of it! You can save money and space by purchasing additional tips instead of purchasing multiple chargers. It works for both my phone and ipod. My husband has a different phone and instead of purchasing a separate car charger, I'll just purchase a additional tip that is compatible to his phone. I didn't think that it would work, but a friend recommended this to me and they swear by it.

Ordered the first 133 for hubs iPhone 3g works perfect every time. I upgraded to the iPhone 3gs at its release, investigated the igo tip for my phone and ordered the 133 for use with my car/wall charger. At first I thought it was a problem with the splitter, so tested that theory out, NO. Hubs returned from his week of travel and I told him mine didn't work. Hubs to the rescue (or so he thought), 3gs won't charge. He plugs his 3g in to my charger and immediately starts to charge.Bottom line ~ great product line... I use it for my other devices daily. Works perfect with 3G iPhone. NOT compatible with 3gs iPhone. For those that think it may be user error, I have had several iPhone junkies challenge that they could make it work, and it has failed for them every time.1/9/2010 : Upon recommendation by someone who read my review I tried the tip with just the straight tip (no splitter) and it is working ! I have placed my tips in a cosmetic case and will just change them out as I need them. I find that my work blackberry doesn't need charged as often as the iphone so keep that tip on most of the time. I also have a tip for my Kindle (original) and keep it in the car just in case. Happy as this means I can still get away with one cord and many tips on trips. Bummed that the splitter won't keep my two most important items charged at the same time.

This thing was such a great idea. Switchable power tips, adaptable to a variety of device rechargers, connected with a long, heavy-duty cord. Unfortunately, when my previous one stopped working, I replaced it, and the new one started showing problems, too. (Not fully connecting.) I finally realized that when inserted, it puts stress on the iPhone input that will eventually damage both the tip and the phone. This is true even if you charge the phone flat on its back, because the white, exterior part of the tip isn't deep/wide enough to lay flat. This problem gets worse the thicker your phone case is. Over time, even this small difference between the depth of the phone and the depth of the tip caused stress on the connection. I ended up having to put a partial stack of Post-Its under the tip to support the tip. (Which I kept misplacing . . .) This particular iPhone tip became obsolete anyway, replaced by Apple's much more stable "lightning" recharge tip. But I think Mobility is still selling iGo tips for other devices. They might be awesome--I don't know. I hope they are. If you're buying one, just be aware that the weight and size of the tip--or the position in which you lay down or stand up your device--needs to be such that it won't damage it by putting stress on the connection.
