I bought 3 of these charging stations and a handful of interchangeable tips from their website directly (I wanted to customize my selection of tips - less wasteful).. This is a sleek charging station.It is NOT a cabinet to hide a hideous octopus-like power strip.There is only ONE wall plug.You buy the tips to match your particular products.My assortment of gadgets: Samsung cell phones, an assortment of iPods, a Sandisk Sansa MP3 player, Motorola Bluetooth headsets, Nintendo DS Lites, Sony PSP... you get the picture.With the interchangeable tips, you can customize not only what items you charge, but where you charge them AND the tips are retractable so they fit nice and snuggly in the base when you're not using them or if your device is small it hides the cord.A truly elegant solution.I bought the wrong tips for our Nintendo DS Lites and am in the process of exchanging them.Beware when ordering tips, you are only give a tip number and have to remember or figure out after receiving your order what goes with which device.I've asked them for a "tip chart" - let's see if they come thru.A tip chart should be included with each order as I see it.
Their list of manufacturers is impressive, too.
I also purchased their retractable car/USB charger and dual car charger - soo cool.
Best of all... if you buy other devices later... all you need to buy is a TIP and you can still use the chargers.I have a graveyard of chargers.GoodBYE octopus of cords, GoodBUY for us!
HOLY COW! Just got an email from Gomadic regarding my "tip exchange" read this:
No problem. We have sent two tips for the DS Lite off today at no charge. No need to send back the Tip 45s...
Sincerely,
Gomadic
AM I HALLUCINATING?! DID THEY SAY SENDING OUT THE NEW TIPS FREE OF CHARGE, NO NEED TO RETURN THE OTHERS?! Unheard of. Great, fast customer service. HIGHLY recommended!!

It works very well.I've bought other chargers over the years that work for a while, and then either fade or fall apart.This is well-made and works.I'm not sure what more you could ask from it.
