Very sturdy, high-quality device. I bought this to add USB ports to an arcade cabinet, but I may buy more to mount on my office desk.

It works and it's better than the cigarette lighter socket charger.

Bought this to mount under my desk and and charge my phone, iPad
, earphones and battery pack. It looked to be exactly what I needed but I didn’t do the math. Worked perfectly with a phone and headset charging. Then I added the iPad. Things got screwy then and made me think I had a bad cable. Phone would quit charging and then start back a few minutes later. iPad was charging slowly as well. Then I added the battery pack and things got really screwy. Finally did the math and realized that the 900ma supplied to each port and there was not enough wattage to charge all the devices at once. Food if you really need a hub but probably not the best choice if your goal is charging.

Very small platform, great for our application.

I wanted to mount a USB3.0 hub on the side of my computer desk, but the last one I purchased (elsewhere) was an anemic dud. Fortunately for humanity, that hub is no longer available.
The Google treasure hunt led me to USBgear, and this hub.
It is made of heavy grade steel; not at all flimsy, and the picture demonstrates how eminently mountable it is. The power supply which comes with the unit is a compact 4 amp rated unit, thereby guaranteed to supply the nominal 900ma to each port. I am unable to determine if the hub is truly bc1.1 or bc1.2 compliant, but it charges the phone quickly, as well as being a USB3.0 hub for those modern flash drives or card readers one may have. I no longer get those humiliating "this device could operate faster" messages when I inserted those devices into the USB2.0 hub.
Equipped with the now-fashionable blue led, this serves as a nightlight in my computer room. One can put a piece of tape on the front side if the light is too bright, yet still casting that spooky blue for each of the USB ports.
This hub has been in service now for about 10 days, and it is performing admirably. I highly recommend this hub for someone who wants a solidly built, wall mountable USB3.0 hub, which will deliver the necessary power that USB3.0 specifies.
