This is one big black ugly looking charging station but its super cheap. I just bought one from DSE for $5, they retail for $44.99 on the manufacturers website (http://www.idaptweb.com/collections/universal-charger/produc…).

It comes with the following connections: - 1x iPhone 5, 1x iPhone 4, 2x microUSB, 1x miniUSB. It chargers four devices at once and you can swap the charging tips. From the manufacturer's website:

'IDAPT i4+ is an innovative charging solution that eliminates cable clutter and charges four devices simultaneously, as fast as the original manufacturer’s charger. IDAPT’s patented interchangeable tip system allows you to safely charge almost any combination of portable devices. It is compatible with past, current and future generations of devices. It combines style with simplified charging, perfect for everyone’s mobile lifestyle.

• Charge 4 devices simultaneously (3 IDAPT ports + 1 Powerful USB)
• Includes 5 modular tips (1x iPhone 5, 1x iPhone 4, 2x microUSB, 1x miniUSB) for all generations of iPhone, Samsung, Android, LG, Google, GoPro, Blackberry
• Fast & Powerful charging: delivers 25 Watts in total.
• Recharge tablets (iPad, Galaxy Tab) and eBooks (Kindle…)
• 2 Years warranty'

Also the tips are $5 (lightning tip example) - http://www.dicksmith.com.au/idapt-charging-tip-lightning-dsa…

Enjoy it, I will.

EDIT: If you feel like destroying the planet or buying these out of stock you could buy a second station just for the three tips on top. Ie I just bought a second iPhone 5 tip for $5 but I could have (or should have) bought a second station for the interchangeable tips but i thought what a waste. But the option is there. Hope that makes sense

EDIT 2: Available on eBay store for those who missed out, Use code CSHIP4FREE for free shipping

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/IDAPT-i4-Universal-Charger-/25161…?

EDIT 3: Out of stock on eBay store

EDIT 4: Triple device still in stock http://www.dicksmith.com.au/idapt-i2-universal-charger-dsau-…. It has two top loaded device tips and a USB port.

EDIT 5: Looks like this model isn't the '+' model and doesn't include the lightning connector. Hope this hasn't put anyone out (me included!). From a google search looks like it comes with these tips - '6 Tips (Apple, Mini USB, Micro USB, Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung)'

      from what I gather,
      the eco comes with: micro usb, mini usb, 30-pin apple.

      and the i2+ comes with 6 tips:
      Nokia 2mm
      Sony Ericsson
      Samsung
      microUSB
      miniUSB
      30-pin Apple

  • lplau on 14/08/2014 - 10:01

    How well does these work with cases? It looks like thye only really work with the phone without case.

    • [Deactivated] on 14/08/2014 - 10:05

      Yeah i have no idea. My Belkin iPhone 5 dock doesn't work with cases that have a base on them. I haven't used this thing but everyone at works comes begging for my iPhone 5 cable so they can use this thing now.

      Not very good, i have one and the phones themselves for example samsung S3 & S4 wobble around on it. But for $5 its totally worth it.

        After looking into it a bit more…
        I have a feeling this particular model (the i4) from DSE doesn't actually include the lightning tip?! seems that tip was included with the i4+ model - as linked by OP :(
        Happy to be proven wrong though.

        • CodeXD on 14/08/2014 - 11:07

          Yep, that's what I thought too, but the lightning tip is sold out anyway :(

        • beaver2233 on 14/08/2014 - 11:11

          yeah seems this one comes with 6 tips (don't think lightning is included).

        • unco on 14/08/2014 - 11:30

          I guess the door stop idea is looking more realistic now.

          Where can we get the lightning tip for a good price? :(

        • [Deactivated] on 14/08/2014 - 12:03

          I can already feel the stench of death upon me as I said it came with an iPhone 5 tip :( Still great for USB port and micro USB.

    I've seen this one before on a review site.

    The iPad used in our test example, can be only with great caution plug it in, and then wags dangerous back and forth.

    http://www.ephoneblog.com/universal-charger-mobile-phone-cha…

    Only use the USB port. It has 2A, which should be enough.

  • Jenny Jingle on 14/08/2014 - 10:04

  • smallpizza on 14/08/2014 - 10:05

  • chewkl on 14/08/2014 - 10:06

    Thanks OP, got 2!

    Pro OZBargainer tip, if you need extra charging tips (no pun intended), better to get 2 units of the chargers as they come with 5 interchangeable tips each, rather than buying a single tip for the same price of the whole charger. :)
    • chewkl on 14/08/2014 - 10:07

      Heck, few minutes too late making to purchase to see that others have recommended buying a few bases rather than just the tips.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/08/2014 - 10:08

        Yeah is it bad to be thoughtful for others on OzB by buying one base? I prob would buy two now that the lightning tips are out of stock.

    Looks great, but only for previous generation Android phones. The tips are only 1A output. To charge a current gen Android handset/tab at 2.1A you need to plug into the single USB port.

    • lplau on 14/08/2014 - 10:19

      Are you sure the tips only output 1A?
      The unit itself should output 5A shared across all connected devices.

      • [Deactivated] on 14/08/2014 - 10:27
        +1

        100% sure, it's on the reviews somewhere.

        2A from the USB port ==> 10 watts.
        3 1A tips from the normal tips => 15 watts.

        Total 25 watts.

    It appears that the phone docks into the micro usb, but does not have anything to lean against, so all weight is transferred on the USB port of the phone… that is one Quick way to break your only means of charging a phone. Too much risk of damage. No wonder these are $5 as they have a design flaw.

        one review reads "the product turned out to be poorly manufactured… the charging jack on my Nexus became faulty and now I am unable to charge it with my original charger. The Nexus had been problem-free since I bought it in February, but one month's use on this dock apparently messed up the jack"

    There is no need to buy two of the big ones for the extra tips. (I'm thinking the smaller ones 2-3 devices will come with extra tips too, but could not find the information) You also get the option for something light to travel with

    And for those who missed out, the 2-3 device chargers are still available at $5 free delivery.
