Accessories for the Cube i9

[.oOOo.]

When your searching for the right accessories for the Cube i9, it can be hard to find the right charger, cable or dongle.

Please post your best buys here in this thread.

When you’re looking for a charger for your Cube i9, you need to look for a charger that supports “Power Delivery” (PD). These chargers are also used for the Google Pixel and for the MacBook 2016.

Not all chargers work for all devices. This Anker PowerPort+ 5 USB-C with USB Power Delivery works for the Cube:

It does not charge very fast though. Top charging rate I’ve seen up till now is 13.5 Watts.

I’ve bought two USB-C hubs. The cheapest one of the two performs best in my personal setup.

I paid approximately € 24 for this VicTop USB Type C Hub. It is currently not available on Amazon, but maybe you can find it somewhere else:

[.oOOo.]

The more expensive one of the USB-C hubs I bought, is the same hub Chris tested as well. It is the HAVIT USB 3.1 Type-C Hub. I paid € 60, but it is now a bit more expensive:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01IMP08TM/

It works very well when I use it standalone, but the HDMI connection will occasionally display glitches when I connect it using a USB Type-C extension cable. The VicTop USB Type-C hub above works flawless with the same setup.

XtremeGuard sells “full body” protectors which allow you to also protect the back of your tablet. I’ve applied a Surface 4 “Tab Back Only Protector” to the back of my Cube i9. Don’t be fooled by the regular prices on the website, you never need to pay the full price:

At this moment there is a 92% discount when you use the coupon code Cyber92 . You need to buy two items, but this back only protector will cost you $2.00 + shipping.

I would be willing to buy it just to test it, but I definitely don’t want to fry my Cube i9 :S

If you Google for Benson Leung Ugreen you’ll discover that the Ugreen cables are usually not good. So I would not buy an untested charger from them with zero reviews on Amazon.

But maybe buying a really good Power Delivery charger right now turns out to be impossible.
