Kensington Travel Plug Adapter with USB Charger 33346

Well designed, as good as charges my 2nd gen Nano too., March 13, 2008

This product includes:

1 masculine block adapter, which fits in any of a 4 sorts of upheld opening sorts (European, British/Asian, American/Japanese/Chinese, as good as Australian)

1 womanlike opening adapter, which accepts any of a 4 sorts of upheld plugs

1 USB horse adapter, which can be substituted with a opening adapter

This was a many appropriate of all a adapters we looked at, it has a elementary compress design, as good as customarily 3 parts, twin of which will customarily be resolutely trustworthy to any other, so there’s reduction to lose. Contrary to what a little of a alternative reviews say, a USB horse WILL work with an iPod. As we write this I’m charging my 2nd gen iPod Nano with it. It’s additionally not a voltage converter, yet we consider which would have combined a lot of bulk, as good as all of a wiring we travel with have been twin voltage anyway.

I would have since this 5 stars, yet I’ve had a couple of teenager issues with it:

1. It takes many as good many force to block in a grounded 3-prong US block in to a adapter, so many which I’m fearful I’ll mangle it when we mislay a plug. It works, yet we have to force a turn US belligerent pin in to a rectilinear UK belligerent hole, which is usually somewhat as good tiny for it to fit easily. If a UK belligerent hole was somewhat dull or half a millimeter larger, it wouldn’t have this problem.

2. You infrequently have to lift out a pins upon a block finish with your fingers to get them to close correctly. Otherwise they’ll redress behind in to a adapter when we try to block it in.

3. You can customarily awkwardly bond all 3 pieces together for transport, as good as we can’t do it during all whilst you’re regulating it. It would have been improved if there was a container or something where we could insert a new partial during use.

Well made, yet didn’t work with my Nano, did work with Axim, January 4, 2007

By 

Tom D (Columbus, OH United States) – See all my reviews

  

This seems good done as good as compress yet it didn’t work with my Nano. we attempted it twice, as good as both times it didn’t assign as good as compulsory resetting a Nano. I’m guessing a Nano is someway automatic to demeanour for possibly an Apple horse or a mechanism USB port, maybe even a single with Ipod program installed. This is a second such device I’ve attempted which wasn’t Apple certified as good as both had similar, yet not matching problems.

It does work with my Dell Axim, yet which comes with an AC horse as good as we didn’t buy it for that. I’ve regularly had good fitness with Kensington inclination as good as if zero else, it’s still a block adapter.

I wouldn’t demur to buy this for a non-Apple product. And since of this Apple problem, we usually paid for a Sansa peep player instead of an additional Nano.

USB Charger doesn’t essentially assign my devices, October 19, 2006

By 

M. Kuo (Texas) – See all my reviews

  

I’ve attempted twin of these travel chargers. It’s a good idea. we have a little inclination which can be trickle-charged by USB, so for my outing abroad we longed for to usually move a single of these adapters as good as a device’s USB cables to save space. But a USB adapter caps did not assign my dungeon phone (Motorola L6) or PDA (Palm TX), so I’ll still have to move a full wall adapters.

If a AC adapter top converted voltage, it would be great, yet it doesn’t.

If we could block a AC adapter top onto a single end, as good as a USB adapter top upon a other, we could have a good compress one-piece section for travel. Of march if a USB adapter top doesn’t work, what’s a point?

It’s still utilitarian for a travel adapter cpabilities, yet we am unhappy which it wouldn’t assign any of my USB devices.
