Multiple (lightning, micro-usb, mini-usb) charger?
I'm looking for a single multi-purpose usb charger that can charge new (lightning) iphones and ipads, kindles, etc. (ie., I think I need lightning, micro-usb and mini-usb) so as to avoid having to travel with multiple chargers. Retractable would be nice but not necessary. In other words, this, but lighting instead of 30-pin, or this, but mini-usb instead of 30-pin. Swear to G I've searched everywhere to no avail. Any suggestions?

Why not just get a USB power brick with multiple ports and bring separate cables to connect to devices?
|
Looking for a combo cable is a waste of time. Just bring whatever USB-to-XXX you need, plus a USB power brick. Once charger, multiple cables. If you get a power brick with multiple outputs, then you can charge multiple devices at the same time.

Something like this?

I bought a cable with all three at Fry's in Palo Alto. Maybe check their website.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I have one mini-USB device still active - but I see no replacement in sight so I'll still need it for awhile.
Be wary of these devices, depending on how you carry them. I had two of the above, tossed in my laptop bag along with everything else. The two outer connecters broke off within a few weeks, so I'm back to individual retractable cables. |
Got mine from icemonkey, short cord - perfect for the car to charge without long cable.

Be wary if using a Lightning-micro USB adaptor, Apple devices/the chip in the adaptor(even the official stunningly overpriced one) are very picky about which USB cables they will work with.
I can't find a retractable cable that works (even recent Belkin ones), but some other Garmin and non-OEM ones work fine. PITA :mad: |
Monoprice is great for these combo cables. Cheap and good quality. Customer service is good too.
I bought a couple off a site called itechdeals but one was DOA. Their customer service was horrendous, refused a return, and I had to go through PayPal to get any $ back. |
