Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Mini USB charger to Micro USB Charger Converter
Customer Review: Avoid these
Summary: 1 Stars
Any mini to micro USB adapter is a very simple device only requiring two wires between the two connectors. The differences then will be durability (does it last and work fine with day-to-day use) and connector quality (do the connectors fit too tight, too loose, just right and is it a pain to try to get it to connect - especially the micro-USB male connector).
With these, I am not interested in saving a few dollars when using it with a $500 device. However, there is no need for these to be very expensive - even a good quality adapter. There is really nothing to them. If you purchase one that is always falling apart, slipping of the mini-USB connector and/or is not properly 'fitted' (poor tolerances) to your device's micro-USB, it's best to find another.
I bought 3 of these in a hurry with minimal research. I always seem to need a couple around since I have a nice collection of mini-USB cables, but most devices (especially phones/tablets) now have micro-USB (charging and data) so I decided to just order 3 knowing I'd probably loose one or two in my travels.
I gave one to my wife to use with her phone and a mini-USB cable for charging and syncing. I kept a couple for myself (one in car since it has a built-in USB port for charging/playing music through system) and one for my computer bag.
All 3 of them have fallen apart several times. Just pull on it at a slight angle will pop the 'case' open. Easy enough to put back together. But, the biggest irritant (and potentially damaging to your micro-USB device) is that it has terrible fitting tolerances. For example, I have both Nokia and Motorola cell phones - I usually leave their micro-USB-fitted chargers at home and travel with a mini-USB cable to use this converter. The micro-USB end (male) that inserts into the phone is a big struggle - for both of them, I have to look several times to make sure I have it situated correctly and try inserting it five or six times - it just doesn't fit right (goes for all three I have).
But, when I use the micro-USB chargers/cables supplied with the phones, they simply insert effortlessly.
The female mini-USB side of these is a bit too loose with noticeable play. It is always coming loose and loosing connection with the slightest movement.
For me, even considering the low price, this deserves 1-star. Having used three of them, I know I didn't just happen to get a single, bad one.
