USB hubs are very useful devices, which allow users to connect several USB devices to a computer while using only one of its USB ports, and for this reason they come in huge numbers, in all shapes and sizes and from quite a large number of manufacturers (especially China-based ones). And one of the most peculiar such items is the “4 Ports Leather USB Hub” launched by the Hong-Kong-based Earth-Trek company, a device that will satisfy all the users' lust for leather and connectivity.
Thus, the device is available in 4 choices of leather. There's a brown leather version, a white leather version, a black leather version as well as a very unusual pink version, aimed at those users who're simply crazy about this color, mainly women. Moreover, the manufacturers provide several types of finishes as well as leather-types, including a very classy and attractive looking snake skin model.
This is clearly one of those devices whose main selling point is represented by their external aspect. Thus, the USB hub itself doesn't offer anything spectacular, since it comes with 4 USB 2.0 ports capable of attaining transfer speeds of up to 480 Mbps, and is compatible with up to 127 models of USB devices.
The device won't occupy too much of the user's desk space either, since it measures just around 68 mm x 40 mm x 16 mm. The company doesn't offer any significant information regarding the product's price, but most likely it's not going to be a very low one, as leather is not one of the cheapest manufacturing materials around, and the manufacturing costs are also a bit higher than in the case of other devices.
However, this doesn't mean that it will be too expensive either, as it must integrate in a certain price category, characteristic to such devices. |
