Dropped out after a month of use

I bought two of these products, one had connection issues which worked 70% of the time and the other I found that I even only had one Connected cable to it to charge the phone, it will charge very slowly. When I use the phone too, it barely charges. Strange, the thing broke right after a month, which I can no longer return.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Good but not great

Great option for Tesla Model 3 USB extension

I connected two of these USB hubs to the Tesla Model 3 center console USB ports. This allows me to charge my phone and use the Tesla DashCam on a USB drive, as well as USB LEDs to illuminate the bottom of the console. Works great so far. The rotation allows me to line up the hubs sideways and keep everything in order. No complaints yet!

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • No automatic

Works on Tesla Model 3

Tried on Tesla Model 3 (October 2018). On this vehicle, the USB ports are located under the center console. I didn't want an extra cord clogging that hole in the closet so this fit the bill. But does he fit in? Yes, that's right! I will upload an image. It's solidly built. % Stars. Tested in the car for about an hour. It's getting a little warmer - I don't know if that happens often.

Pros
  • Beautiful
Cons
  • Nothing here

Used on Tesla Model 3

I needed this to expand the ports on my Model 3 and support wireless phone pads along with a watch/TeslaCam USB flash drive. The profile of this device is very small and thanks to its design it fits very well on one side without interfering with other ports on the Model 3. The wireless control panels worked as well as the USB stick. I've been using it for about 5 months and haven't had any problems.

Pros
  • Rugged Construction
Cons
  • Approximately

Loose connection

I was particularly looking forward to that. It's one of the few USB hubs that doesn't have a dangling cord. Advantages: The material makes a robust impression. The hinge can be locked. Cons: It doesn't fully fit into a USB port. No matter how hard I press, the metal portion of ALL USB ports is still exposed. Any little movement can move him. Also, I have a 13-inch Yoga, so this hub is thicker than the Yoga's and lifts the laptop off the table by a few inches. i give it back

Pros
  • Large selection
Cons
  • Socket required

The product works as intended but feels a little flimsy.

The rotating design of this product is great and a requirement for my car (Tesla Model S). However, when you plug USB cables into the device and also unplug USB cables from the device, it looks like you are about to break the USB hub loops. Be careful not to damage the rotating hinge of this USB hub, and also be careful not to damage the USB connector itself no matter where you place this USB hub. That design issue aside, the hub itself works as advertised, giving your device more USB slots…

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I won't tell

Just what I wanted for my Microsoft Surface

My work computer, the Microsoft Surface, has very few ports: a power jack, a mini DisplayPort, and a USB 3.0 port. I got a USB hub on a travel cord, but hanging it up is inconvenient at best. I wanted something that would attach to the Surface with its protective rubberized casing, stay connected, and increase the USB 3.0 port count. That fits the bill perfectly. Its connector was just long enough to clear the case and allow free rotation, it stays in place regardless of my surface orientation…

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Disappear
