I purchased this thinking I could toss all my old adapter plugs, which I did. I took it on a month long trip and it died the second day and I was without. I am not sure why such a simple device should be so shoddy.

Thing seems nicely made, clever design. However, you CANNOT plug in laptops with a ground pin sticking out, it won't fit. Sigh. back it goes....

I have a love/hate relationship with this adapter. When it worked, I loved it, as I could charge my iPhone (first original, then 3G) with just this device and a cable. I got in the habit of leaving it in my travel bag, and have used it successfully in the US, EU, Russia, and northern Africa. It packs in one relatively small and smooth piece which stuffs nicely into a folded pair of socks, so you don't have a bag full of prongs waiting to put holes in things. The hate part comes from it breaking on me while overseas and one month out of warranty, leaving me to find an available computer with a USB port to recharge my phone. I'm buying another one because this thing was just so great while it worked, and I haven't seen anything else that comes close to being as nice to travel with and use. If you tend to be hard on your toys though, you might want to look elsewhere.
