Quirky Contort Flexible 4-Port USB Hub for laptops and travel - charcoal

Stopped working after 2 month

Has anyone thought of the stress causes by the weight of something heavier than a lead on a USB socket for prolonged periods of time? I have lost a USB connection on an old laptop over this already...beware

Dieser kleine Mehrfachstecker ist praktisch und sieht dabei noch ganz gut aus, mehr erwarte ich auch nicht. Passt also alles...

I bought this product mainly because it was reasonably priced for 4 additional USB ports. I own an ACER 4315 laptop that uses Windows Vista. When I initially plugged it into my laptop, everything seemed fine. It took a little bit of time to download all the necessary drivers but it seemed to work. I was mistaken. Each time I would plug a different object into the contorted port hub, it would download the drivers for that device, or say it needed a 2.0 port which my laptop already HAS. Contorting the hub here and there seemed to help. Some. I became frustrated and just began seeking other options. I tried it for 2 weeks so I wouldn't act out of haste, but I don't care for this product.Oh and one other thing that I would have preferred. The ports are all in one direction. Horizontally, I'll say. Side by side. A better idea, would be for someone to create a hub with alternating directional hubs. Horizontal, vertical, horizontal, vertical. I say this because I have a few Patriot Flash Drives that are larger than normal size and can only fit two on this hub. If the drive ports alternated in size, I could've probably fit all four or at least be able to plug in two other devices along with two of the flash drives.

This is a very simple, durable USB hub. I'm using this for my Laptop currently, as it only has 2 USB ports normally. This hub allows me to connect multiple external harddrives, webcams, and input devices with no problems.Currently using this on a MacBook pro that runs both OSX and Windows 7, it works on both operating systems just fine.Great little USB hub, very simple, can't go wrong.

I am a huge fan of quirky products, especially those designed for tech. This does not disappoint. It's sturdy and works as advertised. I bought it primarily so I could charge my iphone and use my usb "Passthrough" (ecig that connects directly to a usb port) while working on my homework for college without taking up ALL my ports on my laptop. It does the job beautifully.Hope this helps :)

The USB Hub is attractive with no dangling wires. It provides a useful way to extend one USB port to four ports. There are holes on each side of the top that could be used to secure the hub with tie downs. I have found it unnecessary to further secure the hub with ties. This is a simple but useful product.

Great price and I no longer have to pull things out of the back of my Mac when I want to connect a camera, iOS device, scanner, etc. I don't think it allows charging (not sure), but those items that need charges just get plugged directly into the Mac.

helpful in keeping clutter down but be aware you need the correct combination of high speed chargers for what you are charging and does not seem to like all of them....maybe I need to read specs closer.....just be aware. for the price it's still not a bad deal

Cute and useful.

This is very useful with a laptop for connecting to all the other stuff. Its particularly nice because the neck is flexible, so the cords don't pull on the laptop.

I really needed a USB port hub. I like that it doesn't have a cable and that it has a flexible neck instead.

Smart

here is another one of those smart choices you need for you laptop that doesn't have enough usb ports. this makes my life so much easier.

Keeps my desk tidy.

This extension is great for the computer, but when hooking it up to a wall portal it doesn't charge anything.
