I've been getting ignored from TOCCs support for weeks from my last purchase. Their live chat used to work, however it's a ghost town now. Lesson learned.
@axleman1011 I waited up too... just so I would not feel llike an idiot, I bought two sets. I will figure out what they are (and why I am not an idiot) in the morning.
Having said that, I did appreciate the gift of these by meh. One was slightly appreciated as a birthday gift to a dear relative. And the one I kept? I think it got lost between the cushions in one of our sofas.
Well look who decided to show her face again, Twofer Tuesday that dirty temptress. Last time these were around her tricks and sleazy actions were effective. This time however fuck that noise, I know better. Not this time temptress, not this time.
@studerc She got me. Four times for cups, keyboards, helicopters,and now these. And i've only been a member about 6 weeks now. How do you do it? How do you resist? Tell me man, tell me!
@yangzi Right. Not even check. Then I'll climb into my private jet and fly off to Paris where I'll meet up with [insert current celebrity sexbomb. Female please] and talk about the night to come over champagne and lobster.
I think the odds of either one of these scenarios actually happening are about the same.
@Eris I have the opposite situation. My laptop sits in a docking station at work which makes for bad geometry. However, my desktop is M Series ThinkCentre which has 2 horizontal USB ports in front, 1.0-1.5cm above the desk surface. The meh charging strut works great with the PC.
I love these. If it were Christmas they'd be the perfect stocking stuffer. I just bought a bunch to give away as little one-off tokens of appreciation.
My Lord! What kind of lame, desperate, attention seeking bastards would have a piece of crap boobie-prize give-away custom branded and packaged so that they could sell TWO of them for five buck$ ???? I don't think it can get much lower than this.
Have used my free ones several times in a pinch (in pinches?) If you didn't get free ones, this is definitely worth the $5. Not sure on them being a primary charging solution, but worth sticking in a pocket in the laptop bag.
Funny timing, the one I got for free had never been used before today, one of my coworkers needed to charge an iPhone and I found it in my computer bag. She said it worked great.
More TOCC stuff? I was surprised at the disappointing quality of the headphones I bought some didozens of hours ago. Cheapest things I've seen since I bought my first penny; and that's a hyperbole*. (As opposed, say, to a fact.)
@okaytodd if you say that again I'm going to dump a whole bottle of expired Rx meds in the toilet and used lithium batteries into the regular trash..........
@okaytodd Yah, Apple probably gets a bit weepy when these are called "Lightning" if they are not Apple MFi-certified. But meh rides nicely under the radar. . .
In for a pair of two-fers because these are super handy and pretty durable--if you add a drop of the Kragle to the plastic around the Lighting connector.
gleaming-stupendous-rogue
FWIW, plugged that into the Goo--search engine, yeah, and this was the first image that came up...
@unixrab No. The pope's hand gesture would have the pinky, ring and thumb touching. The two fingers (pointy and middle) symbolize the divine + human nature of Christ. The three fingers touching symbolize the Holy Trinity.
@phatmass ah.. ok thx for the clarification - I always thought the pointy and the middle were Temporal authority and Heavenly Authority....but I'll go with yours ;-)
They're great phone stands! They fold flat when you're done and do a fairly reliable job of holding your phone up.
Wait, the "snap cables"? They're crap. Not cables, really. The word "cable" implies that they're flexible. They're not. (Not that that was ever implied.)
I mean, there's nothing wrong with the product itself. It's a solid piece of plastic with a connector on each end. It's just - what use cases are there for this? One thing I can think of is if you have a laptop that is thin enough so that the phone will rest on the table if you plug it in to a side USB port. Mine is a bit too thick.
I have used the Lightning connector one with my IOGEAR battery pack, and it worked fairly well, if awkwardly. (It's the only Lightning cable I own.)
...oh, I just thought of something! If you plug one into a horizontal USB connector, and you plug your phone in and let it go, that's what it will do - snap. Probably. I haven't tried.
On the plus side, it's a two-fer-Tuesday with a $5 price tag. That doesn't come around often.
These are angled in the wrong direction. Doesn't anyone else use their phones' headphone jacks while they're charging? (major-ghoulish-artichoke is right.)
@RedOak, @unixrab The computer-flipping is the problem. You can't have all three of computer face-up, phone face-up, and headphone jack accessible, even with an iPhone and the lightning connector.
I had a bottle-opener/thumbdrive that made a great bottle-opener... the USB crapped out early on me. Not sure if it was the work or the beer that caused it to fail.
Truth is, I bought this the first time it was for sale, got them free with VMP, and still haven't tried them. Something about them is strange and I'll probably never use them.
@legaldreamteam Only two weeks ago? Also I've gotten items that still show as shipped with no updates and they arrived a month later, you could be lucky too!
@legaldreamteam I think the long shipping time is to create nostalgia for the pre-Amazon Woot! There's nothing like the pleasant surprise of receiving something in the mail that you ordered so long ago you forgot about it.
@UserM4 Exactly! One of each and a rubber band would do the trick. The wife is always complaining about the tangled mess when the cables return to their natural state while residing in her purse; one big knot.
I joined Meh for the two for Tuesday keyboard like a month ago and signed up for the premium because I figured; hey, I'll probably buy something else. Then there were tons of useless shit and expensive shit. But then I got free socks. So I've been waiting for one of those "cheap enough that I might actually use it and keep my premium club thingy gimmick rolling." This is it! I am not excited at all, but meh; that's what it's really all about right? The gimmick is meh, I don't need or want that but at that price I'd buy it? meh. Good work, meh.
bought 2 the last time, havent use it once, how to connect without a usb extension?, this thing is so awkward to use, it will either break, damage ur usb port or damage ur phone's port thingy.
I'll probably just give these away to other people; they'll be, like "wow, you really know how to find unique, handy things; also you're very generous" but really I'm just a stingy bastard who thrives on the approval of others!!.....sad face
My very first meh purchase, on Aug 23, 2014 was for these tocc cables at $4 each. And then at daily steals I bought 20 of them for $4 each again. One sits dutifully on my keychain (never been used so no idea if it works) and the rest were x-mas gifts.
These surprisingly worked when they were given for freez. The 8-pin connector worked fine for me and micro-usb has no issues. I keep them tied to an external battery charger and they work when needed. Wouldn't have much use for using them on a laptop/desktop though.
I bought these before and gave the i-phone one to a friend. He thought it was just the phone stand box and never opened it. The other day he asked if I had a cable and I pointed out that I had given him one...saved his day...
I'm grabbing one to keep in my purse with my emergency charger. I regretted not having one the last time I was stuck without an outlet all day. The phone battery did not last long.
The lightning cable didn't work for me when I got them last time around. Says not supported and wouldn't charge or connect. If it worked, I'd be tempted, but meh.
The microUSB one I had on my keychain snapped off. The loop is small. I recommend you put a small, thin key ring through it and attach that to your larger key ring.
Please, please get rid of the awful two for one offers like today's. I understand the product, including the boxes, is truly meh. But I loved the socks; they fit well and look great. Wont' you give us more meh socks, hats, shirts, polos and ties? Meh lovers, all two or three of them, are clamoring for more Meh clothing merchandise. Make it happen guys. It is one thing to be meh and even better to show the whole world how truly meh one can be.
website didn't say these are mfi certified? bought 2 iphone cables from tocc via groupon, turned out not mfi cert'ed. tried to return, but encounter terrible customer service. will not buy from tocc ever again.
Too bad to hear that they don't play well with iPhone 6 (nor Plus presumably). Non-MFI certified seems to mean that they no longer function with the next iOS update, so with the generics basically you're renting a cable until the next update (or "warranty" expiration, if the maker is willing to replace with version with their newest lightning chip clone. #@$% U Apple!
I tried using my free ones but they are just stupid. Too rigid to work correctly because either my laptop port or phone port will end up getting damaged. What Meh really needs to sell is little lightning connector extenders so the thousands of people who have Meh speaker docs can use them to dock their phones without taking the case off.
The phone stand is truly mediocre. You really have to follow the fold line to the - or it just won't stand up. And if you put your phone in a heavy case, forget about it.
Take this with a grain of salt since I work here and all, but I've been using these for a while with my 6+ and haven't had any issues when plugging it into the USB slots on my laptop.
Well, I got the right ones - but, what can you do with them? If you connect them to the charging block in an outlet, the weight of your phone with probably snap the thing in half. Same for a desktop - maybe use them on a laptop. Hell, I don't know. Right now they're sitting on the dining room table - unused - and will probably stay there until the wife throws them out! These could possibly be the most useless things I've ordered from Meh.
@Ready4C A bit of commonsense helps. It seems pretty clear these are intended to be used with a laptop sitting on a desk/table (both devices supported). . . or with a battery pack. I keep one of each type in the mobile bag along with a couple battery packs.

@shortman yep
@eeterrific Yes I do!
@shortman Eggs Ackly! After i got these last time and I gave her one of them, she said that I have a MEH problem.
I've been getting ignored from TOCCs support for weeks from my last purchase. Their live chat used to work, however it's a ghost town now. Lesson learned.
@lichme bluetooths modo has been open?
The connector for your keychain breaks easilly and the meh word is fading.
@rileyper isn't there anything you can do about the meh word?
@eeterrific
@JonT I would, but I just don't think it needs that yet, this leaves me in a state of meh!!!
@rileyper wow! Have you been xhewing on it?
These break really really easy
Ooh, SOCCs! Oh wait...
I tell myself every week "Its a 2-for-tuesday, it can't be a fuku" but here i am every tuesday at 12:00
@axleman1011 I waited up too... just so I would not feel llike an idiot, I bought two sets. I will figure out what they are (and why I am not an idiot) in the morning.
What the heck are these?
@existie http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Usb+charging+cable
@rileyper Yes, but they don't look like they'd be very useful as charging cables - too rigid.
@rileyper improper use of lmgtfy when you have the query in the url.
@cengland0 Is there any sort of online tutorial for the right way to use lmgtfy?
@ParadisePete http://bit.ly/1M2DjjV
I freaking love these things!! Great gift + great for the car, or that extra backpack! Getting some for the vacation house! Thanks meh!!!!!!!
I gave away the pair you gave me for free.
The real reason to buy these is the nifty phone holder that you can make out of the box.
@Thumperchick http://www.origamispirit.com/2012/05/how-to-make-a-paper-stand-for-your-smart-phone/
So this for $5 or nothing for free? I'll save my money.
I dropped my keys and the little ring on the keychain broke... Meh
Somebody has likely said it before, but $58 List and $38 for 2 at TOCCs? Who's been drinking?
Having said that, I did appreciate the gift of these by meh. One was slightly appreciated as a birthday gift to a dear relative. And the one I kept? I think it got lost between the cushions in one of our sofas.
@RedOak the lowest I've seen a one pack of these was $8 so 2 for $5 is by far the best around - but yeah that retail price is insane.
@RedOak looks like they finally snuck a pot joke on the main page
@TerriblyHuang That joke must be over my head because I either don't see it or don't get it. Care to explain the pot joke?
Well look who decided to show her face again, Twofer Tuesday that dirty temptress. Last time these were around her tricks and sleazy actions were effective. This time however fuck that noise, I know better. Not this time temptress, not this time.
@studerc She got me. Four times for cups, keyboards, helicopters,and now these. And i've only been a member about 6 weeks now. How do you do it? How do you resist? Tell me man, tell me!
@Mehrocco_Mole How about not checking Meh.com like EVER?
@yangzi Right. Not even check. Then I'll climb into my private jet and fly off to Paris where I'll meet up with [insert current celebrity sexbomb. Female please] and talk about the night to come over champagne and lobster.
I think the odds of either one of these scenarios actually happening are about the same.
These seem good if you use a laptop but they're utterly useless if you use a desktop.
meh.
@Eris I have the opposite situation. My laptop sits in a docking station at work which makes for bad geometry. However, my desktop is M Series ThinkCentre which has 2 horizontal USB ports in front, 1.0-1.5cm above the desk surface. The meh charging strut works great with the PC.
Toccs ignores everyone. They're alright. The best part is their size. I feel like my generic Chinese made cables charge better.
Alright, alright already. I'll bite. curved-calm-prison.
@alexthegirl these are awesome chew toys
I actually really like the free one I got before. Might be in for this -- if it's not sold out when I wake up in the morning....
They work... kinda handy can put on key chain... not that I do.
I hate crowded key chains.
TOCCs has a terrible track record when it comes to quality. No thanks. The list prices are hilarious. Not even worth the few bucks being charged here.
@bscottx gotta think outta the box - supposedly these are pretty good chew toys (according to @jont)
I tried to use the ones Meh gave me for free. My phone did not think it was Apple-y enough, and refused to work with it.
@mrshl you probably voided your warranty having these in the same room as your apple product
@mrshl same...no workie on my iPhones either. meh x 100
@clarinetbob ...mehl00 Park?
@mrshl what model? We have 5S at work and they charge fine with this. If the phone is unlocked, it even asks me if I want to trust the computer.
@nadroj i've got a 5s. it flat refuses to charge. i guess mileage may vary.
so much vitriol - so many moderators
@unixrab fricken mediators too.
@v We don't using that kind of language around here. That should be "fucking mediators." Clean it up, will ya?
I love these. If it were Christmas they'd be the perfect stocking stuffer. I just bought a bunch to give away as little one-off tokens of appreciation.
teal is the new purple in dotted lines.
@cleverogre I love teal!
The last batch had promise, but the Lightning version stopped working after only a couple of days. Still using the mUSB version when traveling.
For free, these are definitely worth it.
My Lord! What kind of lame, desperate, attention seeking bastards would have a piece of crap boobie-prize give-away custom branded and packaged so that they could sell TWO of them for five buck$ ???? I don't think it can get much lower than this.
@eyewerks stick around
@unixrab for the 8:00 show?
@unixrab I'm begining to think I've overstayed my patience.
@eyewerks I added some brackets to clarify my initial two word encouragement/warning
[meh.com will continually impress you with how low things can sink to.]Stick around [the site]
Have used my free ones several times in a pinch (in pinches?) If you didn't get free ones, this is definitely worth the $5. Not sure on them being a primary charging solution, but worth sticking in a pocket in the laptop bag.
Nothing for free sounds like a better deal.
@JasonKim
I'm gonna get the Nothing for free, but will you send that using my VMP? If not, I'll pass that up, too.
@gertiestn I've got bad news....
If I go for nothing will they ship it to me? And of course, I it being Tuesday, they will ship me two nothings.....
@Dash lol
@Dash SO'C! Man, she really fell of the face of the earth since that SNL appearance.
@johnvoliva
"XX OO SO'C!"
@unixrab looks like ol Frank Sinatra finally got her
Funny timing, the one I got for free had never been used before today, one of my coworkers needed to charge an iPhone and I found it in my computer bag. She said it worked great.
More TOCC stuff? I was surprised at the disappointing quality of the headphones I bought some didozens of hours ago. Cheapest things I've seen since I bought my first penny; and that's a hyperbole*. (As opposed, say, to a fact.)
@avengerofpi And for the record, I was buying an American penny using a Canadian penny. Back when I thought I understood economics.
@avengerofpi that tocc headphones a while ago was shiet
@avengerofpi Microeconomics.
@bacon4jason So, what you're saying is that you not interested in buying my pair?
@avengerofpi How do we do it? Volume. http://www.nbc.com/saturday-night-live/video/first-citywide-change-bank/n9701
@v As long as there's enough bass. I'm all about that shit, wouldn't you know?
meh sent these to me for free, so i opened it, threw the plastic thing inside away and now i love the phone stand
@bacon4jason I hope you threw them in the recycling and not the garbage,
@okaytodd if you say that again I'm going to dump a whole bottle of expired Rx meds in the toilet and used lithium batteries into the regular trash..........
.........again
@unixrabI hope you threw them in the recycling and not the garbage.
@okaytodd woot!
@okaytodd our friendly garbage guy would throw it right back at us - no plastic-type recycling logo on it anywhere.
Was this in my imagination a few moments ago?
@RedOak smoke *Yes* smoke
@RedOak no
@RedOak Mine sat at a white screen for a few mins then this song came up in the background tab and I lost it laughing. Well played meh.
@thismyusername it's rare around here...you got lucky
I am guessing these are not MFi, but I am here to support meh, not to think of myself. I'm in for some.
@okaytodd Yah, Apple probably gets a bit weepy when these are called "Lightning" if they are not Apple MFi-certified. But meh rides nicely under the radar. . .
@okaytodd
@RedOak The good old "8-pin" secret lingo
@okaytodd no secrets on the front page.
@okaytodd Definitely not, look at the connector itself and see the difference. https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT5609
In for a pair of two-fers because these are super handy and pretty durable--if you add a drop of the Kragle to the plastic around the Lighting connector.

FWIW, plugged that into the Goo--search engine, yeah, and this was the first image that came up...
Conspiracy or objective observation?
@elliedan isn't that the pope's hand gesture?
@unixrab or a Vulcan greeting fail.
@elliedan @unixrab @RedOak
@JonT
@RedOak Too soon.
@unixrab No. The pope's hand gesture would have the pinky, ring and thumb touching. The two fingers (pointy and middle) symbolize the divine + human nature of Christ. The three fingers touching symbolize the Holy Trinity.
@phatmass ah.. ok thx for the clarification - I always thought the pointy and the middle were Temporal authority and Heavenly Authority....but I'll go with yours ;-)
Bought 5 pairs so I can be Edward Charginghands!

@exart7 si!
@exart7 easy for you to say...
I use mine with that shitty power bank keyboard you sold
My phone's case puts it as the exact level for the cable to not need to flex at all when both are resting on a flat surface, very convinient
Gave the iPhone one to a roomate.
The box is still proudly serving as a stand
In for 1
They're great phone stands! They fold flat when you're done and do a fairly reliable job of holding your phone up.
Wait, the "snap cables"? They're crap. Not cables, really. The word "cable" implies that they're flexible. They're not. (Not that that was ever implied.)

...oh, I just thought of something! If you plug one into a horizontal USB connector, and you plug your phone in and let it go, that's what it will do - snap. Probably. I haven't tried.
On the plus side, it's a two-fer-Tuesday with a $5 price tag. That doesn't come around often.
These are angled in the wrong direction. Doesn't anyone else use their phones' headphone jacks while they're charging? (major-ghoulish-artichoke is right.)
@InnocuousFarmer get an Apple and you'll be ambidextrous.
@InnocuousFarmer flip em over heh
@unixrab can't with Micro USB.
@RedOak flip the computer over?
@RedOak, @unixrab The computer-flipping is the problem. You can't have all three of computer face-up, phone face-up, and headphone jack accessible, even with an iPhone and the lightning connector.
@InnocuousFarmer
there. fixed.
shipping kills this

@unixrab VMP OR GTFO!....... You are such a troll I love it.

@Mehrocco_Mole that's a negative Houston, over.
Am I the only one who thinks TOCCs missed an opportunity by not putting a bottle-opener at that kink?
I had a bottle-opener/thumbdrive that made a great bottle-opener... the USB crapped out early on me. Not sure if it was the work or the beer that caused it to fail.

In for three... or is it six? Whatever.
Only 57 minutes in and already proof that Plastic sells better than Wood.
12/08/2014... Can't Beat Free!!..
.. BUT.. five bucks ain't bad.
These are pretty dumb and useless
Truth is, I bought this the first time it was for sale, got them free with VMP, and still haven't tried them. Something about them is strange and I'll probably never use them.
Even at $1 each I'd pass at this stage
I only bought one (2-pack). I think I made a bad choice.
Even though this deal really SUCKS, the BIGGER ISSUE is WHY does MEH have orders FROM 2 WEEKS AGO NOT YET SHIPPED. NOT GOOD AT ALL.
@legaldreamteam Only two weeks ago? Also I've gotten items that still show as shipped with no updates and they arrived a month later, you could be lucky too!
@legaldreamteam I think the long shipping time is to create nostalgia for the pre-Amazon Woot! There's nothing like the pleasant surprise of receiving something in the mail that you ordered so long ago you forgot about it.
@sourhead that's what I liked most about Deal Extreme several years ago
Have a couple portable batteries that I can use these with. Definitely nice to have incase of an emergency.
@UserM4 Exactly! One of each and a rubber band would do the trick. The wife is always complaining about the tangled mess when the cables return to their natural state while residing in her purse; one big knot.
I joined Meh for the two for Tuesday keyboard like a month ago and signed up for the premium because I figured; hey, I'll probably buy something else.

I'M JUST IN IT FOR THE GODDAMN ORDER #
Your order number is: plump-electric-paper
Bath.
bought 2 the last time, havent use it once, how to connect without a usb extension?, this thing is so awkward to use, it will either break, damage ur usb port or damage ur phone's port thingy.
I'll probably just give these away to other people; they'll be, like "wow, you really know how to find unique, handy things; also you're very generous" but really I'm just a stingy bastard who thrives on the approval of others!!.....sad face

No Georgia Red. . . for that alone, meh.
I bought these before and gave the i-phone one to a friend. He thought it was just the phone stand box and never opened it. The other day he asked if I had a cable and I pointed out that I had given him one...saved his day...
I'm always mystified by California.
Y'all buy everything. Bizarre.
@mattchhinn Timing's right, and they're about 1/8 the US population...
I'm grabbing one to keep in my purse with my emergency charger. I regretted not having one the last time I was stuck without an outlet all day. The phone battery did not last long.
Dagnabbit! I initially said Meh, but later hit the buy button. I'll put them in my desk drawer at work for when "that person" needs one.
pudgy-valuable-hair
I cancelled my VMP membership a couple of days before they gave these away for free... :(
So now as a self-punishment I will buy these today!
The lightning cable didn't work for me when I got them last time around. Says not supported and wouldn't charge or connect. If it worked, I'd be tempted, but meh.
The microUSB one I had on my keychain snapped off. The loop is small. I recommend you put a small, thin key ring through it and attach that to your larger key ring.
Please, please get rid of the awful two for one offers like today's. I understand the product, including the boxes, is truly meh. But I loved the socks; they fit well and look great.

It is one thing to be meh and even better to show the whole world how truly meh one can be.
website didn't say these are mfi certified? bought 2 iphone cables from tocc via groupon, turned out not mfi cert'ed. tried to return, but encounter terrible customer service. will not buy from tocc ever again.
@panther_v definitely not MFI https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT5609
@panther_v they are not mfi certified.
@JonT i didn't think so either. you're better off getting the real deal from amazon basic or monoprice.
Would not work with my iPhone6 the last time I got these Meh!
These are so convenient when i need to connect to my backup power supply and still walk around.
invisible-unexpected-banshee
Too bad to hear that they don't play well with iPhone 6 (nor Plus presumably). Non-MFI certified seems to mean that they no longer function with the next iOS update, so with the generics basically you're renting a cable until the next update (or "warranty" expiration, if the maker is willing to replace with version with their newest lightning chip clone. #@$% U Apple!
On the one-hand, $5. On the other:
I conclude that this is a pass, but since I considered it, a $5 donation will go to my child's 529 plan.
@ACraigL one star from me for the donation. You're doing it right!
I tried using my free ones but they are just stupid. Too rigid to work correctly because either my laptop port or phone port will end up getting damaged. What Meh really needs to sell is little lightning connector extenders so the thousands of people who have Meh speaker docs can use them to dock their phones without taking the case off.
The phone stand is truly mediocre. You really have to follow the fold line to the - or it just won't stand up. And if you put your phone in a heavy case, forget about it.
I already lost the 2 I got for being a VMP, now they want me to pay to replace them?
Why the eff aren't these called Snapster cables????????????
@beergut I regret I have but one star to give for your comment.
Why is the table in today's write up styled so poorly?
Recieved mine today. they dont work with my phone. Not certified...
Same as joseAllday - Won't work with iPhone 6 - says not certified.
Doesn't work with my iPhone 5s. Not certified
Sorry for any confusion but these are not MFi certified, which was discussed in this thread.
Take this with a grain of salt since I work here and all, but I've been using these for a while with my 6+ and haven't had any issues when plugging it into the USB slots on my laptop.
@joseAllday @wedgeguy @slickrickthewiz
@JonT Are you using an old version of iOS? I'm getting inconsistent results trying to use mine.
@Hamiltwan nope, 8.2 here
It charges my iPhone 5s just fine without warnings/errors.
iOS version 8.1 (12B411) if that makes a difference.
Received mine today. They don't work with my iPhone, because they sent me a whole bunch of micro-USB ones instead of the lightning ones I ordered.
"they sent me a whole bunch of micro-USB ones instead of the lightning ones I ordered."... Same here.
@Cowboy8 seems like it's a thing. I guess I should say. Fast shipping. But me too!
This was my first order from Meh. It was...meh... How often do they get orders correct vs wrong? They sent me the wrong ones.
Well, I got the right ones - but, what can you do with them? If you connect them to the charging block in an outlet, the weight of your phone with probably snap the thing in half. Same for a desktop - maybe use them on a laptop. Hell, I don't know. Right now they're sitting on the dining room table - unused - and will probably stay there until the wife throws them out! These could possibly be the most useless things I've ordered from Meh.
@Ready4C A bit of commonsense helps. It seems pretty clear these are intended to be used with a laptop sitting on a desk/table (both devices supported). . . or with a battery pack. I keep one of each type in the mobile bag along with a couple battery packs.
Do not work. How do I return?
