Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Wow... Griffin is really swinging for the fences asking $99 for this thing... It's not that it doesn't do what they claim, it does. It's just that once you get the thing it's obvious that you've overpaid. It's more or less one of those little things you have on your desk to hold the mail with a few USB ports and an ac adaptor. There is nothing stunning about the technology or design and the plastic is light weight to the point were I am worried about breaking it. The worst part is realizing that now that I've coughed up darn near a Benjamin on this thing I now need to go buy the 5 lighting cables required to transfer the juice... Anyone that has goofed around with those things knows that you can't buy one for less the $20 if you want it to last longer then about a week. Another problem is that for this thing to really serve it's purpose (for me this was to reduce cable clutter and save space on my desk) it really needs lightning cables that are around maybe 6 inches or less, which as far as I can tell don't exist. As it is now, once you get all five 1 meter cables plugged in you are really just back where you started, a rats nest of wires. Giffin needs to either cut the price by at least half or include the right sized cables as part of the package, maybe even both. I'm usually pretty forgiving on my reviews but this product left me feeling beat like a garage sale sofa. This one is a no go. Update - Griffin did stand behind their product and allowed me a return with full refund minus return shipping.
