It did not work on my BlackBerry, but only on Apple devices. I don't know if this was a problem with my phone, but I can charge from normal chargers.

I would give this 0 stars if possible. It just does not work. Extremely frustrating, especially as I've only had it for under 3 months. Very bad quality.

It arrived promptly. However it was cheap plastic and very poor value for money. On top of that it didn't work.

I have had this product for 8 months and use it daily to charge the family's iPhones and iPads. It worked fine for the first seven months but about a month ago started taking much longer to charge all our devices. It has now almost ground to a halt and charges a device by about 35% after being plugged in all night. This is an unacceptable degradation in performance, especially after such a short amount of time.

I really like the idea of this product and was excited to get it home and try it out. I was expecting to have to buy shorter cables for my devices and was ready to go shopping online for them. It only took a minute to realize that I ruined the DC power cable. There were no instructions in the package - I guess Griffin thought it was a pretty intuitive design and people should be able to figure it out. It looked easy enough. A DC power connection underneath with 2 posts to wind up the extra cable length and a slot to fit the cable through to the rest of the power cord. I tried to press the cable through the slot and it wouldn't fit. I took the cable out to try it a different way when I noticed that the sheathing was stripped away and I could see bare wire. Brought it back for a refund. Seems to me Griffin possibly got a different supplier for this part and didn't check if they needed any modification in their design. I'll buy it again once they fix this problem.

Wow... Griffin is really swinging for the fences asking $99 for this thing... It's not that it doesn't do what they claim, it does. It's just that once you get the thing it's obvious that you've overpaid. It's more or less one of those little things you have on your desk to hold the mail with a few USB ports and an ac adaptor. There is nothing stunning about the technology or design and the plastic is light weight to the point were I am worried about breaking it. The worst part is realizing that now that I've coughed up darn near a Benjamin on this thing I now need to go buy the 5 lighting cables required to transfer the juice... Anyone that has goofed around with those things knows that you can't buy one for less the $20 if you want it to last longer then about a week. Another problem is that for this thing to really serve it's purpose (for me this was to reduce cable clutter and save space on my desk) it really needs lightning cables that are around maybe 6 inches or less, which as far as I can tell don't exist. As it is now, once you get all five 1 meter cables plugged in you are really just back where you started, a rats nest of wires. Giffin needs to either cut the price by at least half or include the right sized cables as part of the package, maybe even both. I'm usually pretty forgiving on my reviews but this product left me feeling beat like a garage sale sofa. This one is a no go. Update - Griffin did stand behind their product and allowed me a return with full refund minus return shipping.

Not good, cords everywhere. Makes things less organized not more.

It won't charge an Ipad. It charges Iphones great, but must not have enough power to even charge one Ipad at a time.

Not what I expected at all.

Started great, but turned into to crap quickly. Currently sitting in the local landfill!!
