I was looking for iGo tips for my Motorola Droid. Both the iGo and Amazon sites led me to believe that the A53 would work. Not so. This tip definitely does not work with Motorola Droid. If you are looking for a Droid Eris (HTC) compatible tip, use the recommendation for the HTC Hero - that one does work.

The iGo A53 works perfectly and as intended. It charges a plethora of items with this head, and I will be sure to keep my iGo for a much longer period of time now that I have this.

Felt ripped off, as this seems IDENTICAL to the A32 tip iGo sells for the Blackberry phone. Both use Mini-USB standard. NO NEED to carry both tips with you. And NO NEED to pay for TWO!

Buy whichever is cheaper!

I had one of these for over two years and it worked perfectly. It got bent too far one time too many and came apart. Ordered a replacement and so far it's working great. You have to make sure you have the right model for your device or it won't work right.

F. I wish there was another review dealing with my blackberry. In fact, why the heck did blackberry/RIM change the shape of the tip!? I have useless tips and plugs everywhere, but only one adapter that I can actually use with this Bold. Actually, it's my company's fault for not allowing us to use our iphones and solving my final multi-gadget problem!

This is a great tip for mini USB devices, similar to the A32. It works on more than phones. I charge a garmin forerunner 301 and it works great. If you have a mini USB connected devices and an igo charger, this is an excellent way to charge that device.

Technical differences from A32:
I believe the A53 is rated at 5.2 Volts and 1.2 Amps and the A32 is 5.0 volts .9 Amps. You can buy either one if you are using the standard wall (or computer connection) because the wall charger only spits out 5 volts and .75 amps... so they will function identically. If you use a different charger (maybe the wallmax?) it may output higher amperage and allow your device to use the 1.2 amps

If you're not using the iGo products, then you are missing out and carrying way too much in your car or briefcase. These tips and the main power cord work in cars, offices, homes, hotels - where ever you go. They save time and work just as well as the chargers that come with the product initially. Where I go - I iGo.

I have owned iGo for several years. I am exstremly happy with the product. I purchased a new phone and only had to change the tip for $10 instead of a complete charger for $40. It is much more heavy duty than most charger. aab

I've used it with my iGo in the car to charge my AT&T 8525 phone and my bluetooth headset. I have no complaints about how it functions. I guess it's a simple adapter and it does what it suppose to do. However, I think they could trim it in size and make it less bulkier.
