Product review: CrazyOnDigital Dual Car Charger DC Adapter with dual USB Cable

We travel with a lot gadgets so having a car charger that comes with 4 connections seemed like a useful thing to replace a set of extensions we currently use. However this plug is a good idea with a bad implementation. The plug had trouble staying plugged in while we were driving, and then after several weeks of use it just died.

I am attaching a photo of the plug in use. You can see two USB plugs on the top of the connector (labeled 1A and 2A), and a cord which has the two additional connectors: micro and mini USB. The blue light from 2A/1A labels became a useful feature as it told us when the plug became unplugged.

I LIKED:
--------
1. When it would stay plugged in it worked with Nexus 7 Tab and Galaxy Nexus Phone.
2. It can charge multiple devices without needing separate extensions (up to four devices if you have the right set of plugs)

I DID NOT LIKE
--------------
1. The plug fit loosely into cigarette lighter connection: it always was a little wobbly, and would totally disengage over the course of driving due to bumps in the road. On our weekend long drives the person who was not driving had to keep an eye on the light of the plug to make sure it was still connected.
2. It died after 3 weeks - when you plug it in the light does not go on and nothing is charging.
3. It could not charge Galaxy 7.7 Tab while it was working (battery app showed discharging)

This was not a good car charger even when it worked for the first 3 weeks. I cannot recommend it.
