I too have always found their products to be very high quality for the price point. I trust them more than a brand like Belkin. I once heard that Anker was started by a bunch of ex-Googlers, does anyone know if that's true??

I didn't know this either, but it's true...

Our vision is to create a world where mobile truly means mobile. A world where nothing holds you back from where you want to go, or what you want to do.

Oh god, I just understood the ironic pun in the name, Anker/"Anchor".

It's a surprise their customer service is as good as people are saying it is, considering that.

Google's customer service is excellent, if you're a paying customer.
