My only question about this is Does the port for the phone dock (the one with the cover) charge at 500mA or 2.1A?

Totally unclear about size — I wonder if my Samsung Note would fit in, especially with stock cover on. I will have to go googling, bot I think this info should have been in description, not the advertisement nonsense.

Almost went for it, then saw the "topside down" micro usb. Oh well, didn't need another usb hub anyway

500 mA isn't all that useful, possibly even harmful, for charging most devices on the market I know of, which leaves one phone dock and one USB port for charging. My understanding is that it's fine to charge a device from a port rated for a higher current (because the device will regulate it) but potentially detrimental to charge with a lower-than-recommended current. Thus the main reason to use chargers with anything lower than 2.1A is physical size: lower-ampere adapters can be made much slimmer.
But I could be completely wrong because I'm no electrical engineer and have no reputable sources to link; just going by something I read sometime, somewhere. 500 mA is supposed to be what normal computer USB ports supply, which should be fine for slow charging of any device, but maybe it's a difference of it being detected as AC or USB charging by the receiving device, and how it regulates the current based on that. That's just conjecture, though.

dag.odenhallNo, 500 mA is not harmful for any device; as you point out, that's the most that a normal computer USB port will provide. On the other hand, it won't charge very fast, and many devices will actually slowly discharge if you're actively using them while providing only 500 mA of charging current.
(And I am an electrical engineer.)
So, just think of those other two ports as an extra two-port USB 2.0 hub, rather than charging ports.

gadamsThat's good to hear. Doing a bit more research on this, it seems it can damage the *charger* if you plug in a device that wants a higher current than the charger can deliver (the charger can overheat, catch fire) but I imagine things made for *USB* charging will detect whether it's a sync or charge port and not try to draw more current than those 500 mA. Does that sound about right?

So wh are the price points the same?

randallathirty-five vs thirty-three, point ninety-nine. Either you misread or they fixed it since you posted. :-)

Are the additional USB ports USB 3.0?
