smart device with two ports
constantly overflowing connectors at home, a free socket in the car or at the airport and over must - loaded device that urgent who doesn't. To the escape and recharge not laboriously first one and then the other end device, or due to lack of time for one to decide, there are dual-port USB Chargers. The iClever BoostCube should at the same time two devices precisely to provide the required amount of electricity they need, and be as fast as the original power supply of manufacturer. If that's really true, I thoroughly tested.
Packaging and delivery
after two days delivery time of BoostCube arrived dual Wallcharger of iClever me 4.8 24W. On the stable carton of soda, the product name is printed in a subtle dark brown. In the box, a plastic blister is by charting the USB charger. In addition, the charger is protected by a thin unsuited from possible scratches.
In the package:

The company iClever is known for a fast and very good customer service and often beyond the warranty period. Price: around 10 euros (in August 2016)
facilities of the USB charger
- Two USB ports
- dimensions: 5.8 x 5.3 x 2.85 cm
- weight: approx. 80 grams
- plastic
- power input: 100-240 volts and 50 to 60 Hertz, Max 1 amp
- Regular slot (output 1) output: DC 5V / 2.4 ampere (SmartID)

The two USB slots with smart ID technology
both ports are equipped with SmartID technology. The charger detects the end device (Tablet, Smartphone, MP3, etc.), as well as its needs and Adjusts the required energy, which ensures the maximum charging efficiency. However, a quick charge feature does not provide the BoostCube. To obtain the optimum result, the manufacturer recommends:
- a short original USB charging cable of the end device manufacturer
- a power access in the range of 100-240 volts / 50 to 60 Hertz
optics and processing of the USB charger
of iClever BoostCube is held with light grey print of the logo and the specifications on the side in glossy black. The two USB slots are discreetly illuminated in blue. Otherwise, the device has no pilot light. Its form resembles an Apple battery charger the charger is slim designed The processing and materials are high quality. Due to the small width of the charger is no longer occupied a slot in the connector.
Compatible devices
the USB charger is the one equipped with the SmartID and recognizes your Smartphone, Tablet, or what you via a USB cable to download independently. The charger automatically supplies the device with the maximum energy to recharge. All marketed devices can be loaded using a USB cable, are compatible with the iClever boost cube.
The practice test
makes a very high-quality impression with its glossy black surface, the subtle logo and clean processing the charger. The blue lighting mounted on the inside of the USB ports is no longer visible after the devices are plugged in, and don't mind so even at night. The test used an iPad air 2 and an iPhone 6 s a Samsung Galaxy edge. The USB charger is very slim, with its two ports and is visually similar to the Chargers of Apple products. The USB charger is very light and fits into every pants - or hand bag. An instruction manual in German, a carrying case and a protective case for the plug would have been great, but for around 10 euros you get already very much for his Geld.Auch after a mission which lasted all night--not because the charger was so slow, but because I'm - asleep was the USB chargeron which hung two smartphones, not even lukewarm. The space savings in the full connector and in the kitchen, there is only a free socket in the, make very positive effect. This little gadget is hardly a burden and also here to save space. I would have but rather, if one of the two ports with a quick charge feature would have been equipped. All devices were recharged slightly faster than I'm used to with the adapter manufacturer. I have the test first the original cables of the manufacturers used and in the spare cable. During the loading process with the spare cables I had to average - depending on the cable length and quality) 20% longer wait for the same devices were fully charged. That is the only minus point, in addition to the missing quick charge feature, if hardly perceptible, whistling sound during charging. You must listen already very carefully and be in a quiet room, to hear the sound, but it's there. It has not bothered me, but I would not hide it if you have a still more delicate ear, when I mean can call their own.
Conclusion
Although the time saved when the iClever BoostCube is not particularly large, but a little quicker yet. However, the biggest advantage is the space-saving, safety, and the low price of the USB charger. With maximum protection against overvoltage, overload and overheating, the BoostCube provides secure loading area for two devices. The maximum power is divided by the smart technology independently and the needs of your device. It is certainly not as a highlight as the quick charge-dual-port device of iClever, but also 10 euros cheaper. As a space-saving and safe charging possibility, I can recommend the BoostCube.
