Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block]	'
	(2) Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	(a) Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debt expense, sales returns and price protection, inventories, warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
	The Company believes its critical accounting policies, consisting of revenue recognition, inventory valuation, deferred tax asset valuation, and goodwill and long-lived asset valuation affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are discussed below.
	(b) Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iGo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc., iGo EMEA Limited, Mobility Texas, Inc., iGo Direct Corporation, Adapt Mobile Limited (“Adapt”), and Aerial7 Industries, Inc. (“Aerial7”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
	(c) Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes net revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement with the customer, transfer of title and acceptance, if applicable, as well as fixed pricing and probable collectability. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment and transfer of ownership from the Company or contract manufacturer to the customer, unless the customer has full right of return, in which case revenue is deferred until either the product has sold through to the end user or a reasonable estimate of returns can be made. Allowances for sales returns and credits are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
	Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. We do not bill customers for freight.
	(d) Advertising costs
	The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $28,431 and $123,016 respectively.
	(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
	All short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions.
	(f) Investments
	Short-term investments that have an original maturity between three months and one year and a remaining maturity of less than one year are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as current assets due to the Company’s intent and practice to hold these readily marketable investments for less than one year. Any unrealized holding gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are charged against net earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.
	(g) Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance is assessed on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the receivables with respect to historical experience. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company also maintains an allowance for sales returns and credits in the amount of the difference between the sales price and the cost of revenue based on management’s periodic review and estimate of returns. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
	(h) Inventories
	Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts purchased partially and fully assembled for computer accessory items. The Company has all normal risks and rewards of its inventory held by contract manufacturers and outsourced product fulfillment hubs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on a percentage of material costs. The Company monitors usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the items. The Company adjusts down the carrying value of inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
	(i) Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Tooling is capitalized at cost and is depreciated over a two-year period. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future.
	(j) Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets include the cost of patents and trademarks, as well as identifiable intangible assets acquired through business combinations including trade names and software technology. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of three to ten years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future. The Company’s intangible assets at December 31, 2013 will continue to be utilized upon implementation of the License Agreement and are not considered to be impaired.
	(k) Goodwill
	Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise.
	(l) Warranty Costs
	The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products for periods generally not exceeding three years. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The accrual is based on the Company's actual claim experience. Should actual warranty claim rates, or service delivery costs, differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
	(m) Income Taxes
	The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered forecasts of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance and deferred tax benefit would increase net income in the period such determination was made.
	(n) Net Loss per Common Share
	Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or loss of the Company. For 2013 and 2012, the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the impact of restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
	(o) Share-based Compensation
	The Company measures all share-based payments to employees at fair value and records expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period).
	(p) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded value. The Company does not have material financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
	(q) Research and Development
	The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.
	(r) Foreign Currency Translation
	The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity.
	(s) Segment Reporting
	The Company is engaged in the business of selling accessories for computers and mobile electronic devices and operates a single business segment.
	(t) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendment is to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. While early adoption is permitted, we expect to adopt ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of these new presentation requirements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
	In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU No. 2012-02"), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements or footnotes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
	(u) Subsequent events
	Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. We recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. Our financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued.

	(3) Fair Value Measurement
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis are comprised of overnight money market funds and investments in marketable securities.
	The Company invests excess cash from its operating cash accounts in overnight money market funds and reflects these amounts within cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated balance sheet at a net value of 1:1 for each dollar invested.
	Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., the “exit price”) in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. We classify our investments based upon an established fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described as follows:
		Level 1	Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;
		Level 2	Quoted prices in markets that are not considered to be active or financial instruments without quoted market prices, but for which all significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly;
		Level 3	Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.

	At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in U.S. municipal bond funds, totaling approximately $2,142,000 and $2,129,000, respectively, are classified as short-term investments on the consolidated balance sheets. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the net asset value as reported by the fund manager, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
	At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, investments in marketable securities totaling zero and $60,000 are classified as long-term investments on the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In December 2013, the securities, classified as long-term investments, ceased trading in an active market. These investments are considered available-for-sale securities and are reported at fair value based on the most recent available trading price adjusted for lack of liquidity, which qualifies as level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Prior to December 2012, they qualified as level 1. The unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recorded in other comprehensive loss. Realized gains and losses are included in interest income, net.
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy was fully impaired. The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.

	(4) Investments
	Short-term
	The Company has determined that all of its investments in short-term marketable securities should be classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value.
	The Company assesses its investments in marketable securities for other-than-temporary declines in value by considering various factors that include, among other things, any events that may affect the creditworthiness of a security’s issuer, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the security until a forecasted recovery of fair value.
	The Company did not sell securities during the year ended December 31, 2013 and generated net proceeds of $2,779,000 and realized a loss of $2,000 in the sale of such securities for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding gains, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value by short-term major security type investments were as follows (dollars in thousands):

	Long-term
	In June 2011, the Company made an investment in Pure Energy Visions Corporation, which is a stockholder in Pure Energy Solutions, the Company's supplier of rechargeable batteries, in which the Company received 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock at a price per share equal to $0.286, and an interest-free convertible secured debenture having a one-year repayment term that converts into an additional 2,142,858 shares of Pure Energy Visions common stock in lieu of repayment either upon the achievement of certain business goals or earlier at iGo's discretion. The Company did not obtain control of Pure Energy Visions as a result of this investment.
	The Company assesses its long-term investments for other-than-temporary declines in value by considering various factors that include, among other things, events that may affect the creditworthiness of a security's issuer, the length of time the security has been in a loss position, and the Company's ability and intent to hold the security until a forecasted recovery of fair value.
	At December 31, 2012, the Company's investment in Pure Energy Visions had a fair value significantly below its amortized cost. Due to the duration the security had been in a loss position and the probability that its value would not recover, the Company considered the value of the long-term investments to be other-than-temporarily impaired. During 2012, the Company recognized total other-than-temporary impairment charges of $1,166,000 related to these securities.
	During 2013, the Company concluded that the remaining unrealized losses on the value of the long-term investments were other-than-temporary and, therefore, recorded impairment charges of $60,000 related to these securities to reflect the amortized cost of the securities at fair value of zero at December 31, 2013.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the amortized cost basis, unrealized holding losses, and aggregate fair value by long-term major security-type investments were as follows (dollars in thousands):
		31-Dec-13							31-Dec-12

	In February 2011, the Company entered into marketing, distribution and licensing agreements with Pure Energy Solutions, a manufacturer of rechargeable alkaline batteries. The Company also simultaneously entered into an agreement with Premier Tech Home & Garden to take over its current distribution rights for Pure Energy batteries in Canada. The corresponding value of these distribution rights are reflected in the table above under the caption “Distribution rights.”
	In June 2011, the Company made an investment in Pure Energy Visions Corporation, which is a stockholder in Pure Energy Solutions, in which the Company received a license to utilize rechargeable alkaline battery technology. The corresponding value of this license is reflected in the table above under the caption “Technology license.”
	As of October 1, 2012, as a result of lower-than-anticipated sales of audio products, the Company determined that its recorded intangible assets associated with its acquisition of Aerial7 might be impaired. Accordingly, the Company performed an impairment analysis utilizing an undiscounted future cash flows approach and determined that the intangible assets associated with Aerial7 were fully impaired. As a result, during the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded an intangible asset impairment charge of $1,158,000, which was net of accumulated amortization of $1,002,000. This impairment charge is included in the consolidated statements of operations under the caption “Asset impairment.”
	In June 2013, the Company determined that its investment in Pure Energy Visions was fully impaired and, accordingly, recorded an impairment charge of the remaining net book value of its technology license and distribution rights from Pure Energy, which was recorded at approximately $456,000 on the Company’s balance sheet. The Company has no ability to utilize the technology related to the battery line, nor an immediate alternative manufacturing or supply capability, making it doubtful that the Company will be able to continue the product line associated with these rights.
	Aggregate amortization expense for identifiable intangible assets totaled $504,000 and $1,253,000 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the five succeeding years ended December 31 is as follows (dollars in thousands):

	The provision for income taxes includes income taxes currently payable and those deferred due to temporary differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities that will result in taxable or deductible amounts in the future. The Company recorded no provision for income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012.
	The provision for income taxes differed from the amounts computed by applying the statutory U.S. federal income tax rate of 34% in 2013 and 2012 to income (loss) before income taxes as a result of the following (dollars in thousands):

	With the exception of 2005, 2006 and 2009, the Company has generated net operating losses for income tax reporting purposes since inception. At December 31, 2013, the Company had net operating loss carry-forwards for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $184,017,000 and $41,470,000, respectively, and approximately $5,411,000 for foreign income tax purposes which, subject to possible annual limitations, are available to offset future taxable income, if any. The federal and state net operating loss carry-forwards expire between 2018 and 2033 and 2014 and 2033, respectively. The foreign net operating losses may be carried forward indefinitely for utilization against income from the same operating trade.
	The temporary differences that give rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2013 and 2012 are as follows (dollars in thousands):
		December 31,

	Net deferred tax assets	$	-		$	-
	The valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012 was $69,018,000 and $64,890,000, respectively. The change in the total valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2013 was an increase of $4,128,000. Our deferred tax assets do not include $839,000 of net operating loss benefits that, if realized, would result in an increase to additional paid-in capital of $306,000.
	In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers the scheduled reversal of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in assessing the valuation allowance. Based upon the level of historical taxable income and projections for future taxable income over the periods in which the deferred tax assets are deductible, management currently believes it is more likely than not that the Company will not realize the benefits of these deductible differences.
	In addition, due to changes in ownership resulting from the frequency of equity transactions and acquisitions by the Company, it is possible the use of the Company’s remaining net operating loss carry-forward may be limited in accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code.
	The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and various state and foreign jurisdictions. As a result of its historical net operating losses, the statute of limitations in the U.S. and various state jurisdictions remains open for each tax year since 1998, with the exception of 2005 and 2006.  The statute of limitations in the foreign jurisdictions remains open for tax years after 2007.
	Uncertain Tax Positions
	The Company is required to recognize in the financial statements the impact of a tax position, if that position is not more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on the technical merits of the position. It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in general and administrative expense.
	A reconciliation of the beginning and ending amount of unrecognized tax benefits is as follows (dollars in thousands):
		December 31,
		2013			2012
	Gross unrecognized tax benefits, beginning of year		248			248
	Additions based on tax positions related to the current year		-			-

	Reductions for settlements and payments		-			-
	Reductions due to statute expiration		-			-
	Gross unrecognized tax benefits, end of year	$	248		$	248
	Included in the balance of gross unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2013 is $248,000 of tax positions for which ultimate tax benefit is uncertain. These amounts consist of various credits. Because of the permanent nature of these items the disallowance would normally impact the effective tax rate. No interest or penalty has been accrued or included related to the table amounts shown above.
	There are no positions the Company reasonably anticipates will significantly increase or decrease within 12 months of the reporting date.

	The Company has a defined contribution 401(k) plan for all employees. Under the 401(k) plan, employees are permitted to make contributions to the plan in accordance with IRS regulations. The Company may make discretionary contributions as approved by the Board of Directors. The Company contributed $13,000 and $134,000 during 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	(b) Restricted Stock Units
	During 2004, the Company adopted the Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and the Non-Employee Directors Plan (the “Directors Plan”). During 2011, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the Omnibus Plan to increase the number of shares available for grant by 250,000, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Under the Omnibus Plan, the Company may grant up to 445,833 stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards, and other stock awards, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Under the Directors Plan, the Company may grant up to 33,333 stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, performance awards, and other stock awards, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split.
	Under the Directors Plan and the Omnibus Plan, the Company has awarded Restricted Stock Units (“RSUs”). Unearned compensation is measured at fair market value on the date of grant and recognized as compensation expense over the period in which the RSUs vest. All RSUs awarded to employees under the Omnibus Plan vest ratably over three or four years, depending on the terms of each individual award or, on a pro rata basis, upon the employee’s death, disability or termination without cause or, in full, upon a change in control of the Company. RSUs awarded to board members upon their election or re-election to the board under the Directors Plan vest 100% upon the three-year anniversary of the grant date. RSUs awarded to board members upon their election or re-election to the board under the Omnibus Plan vest ratably over three years. RSUs awarded to board members upon their appointment as board chairman or to a board committee vest 100% upon the anniversary of the grant date. All RSUs awarded to board members may vest earlier, on a pro rata basis, upon the director’s death, disability, or retirement or, in full, upon a change in control of the Company.
	On June 11, 2007, pursuant to the terms of the employment agreement dated May 1, 2007 by and between the Company and Michael D. Heil, Mr. Heil was awarded 83,333, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, RSUs outside of the Company’s 2004 Directors Plan and 2004 Omnibus Plan as an inducement award without stockholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4). Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Heil’s agreement, 41,667 of the RSUs vested in increments of 10,417 shares per year effective on June 11, 2008, June 11, 2009, June 11, 2010 and June 11, 2011. On March 19, 2008, the vesting terms for the remaining 41,667 RSUs, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, granted to Mr. Heil were amended to provide time-based vesting, pursuant to which 10,417 shares vested on each of March 19, 2009, March 19, 2010, March 19, 2011, and March 19, 2012.
	As part of the acquisition of Adapt, on August 6, 2010, the Company entered into three one-year employment agreements with the three founders and key employees of Adapt. Each of these key employees received grants of 16,667 RSUs, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, outside of the Company’s 2004 Directors Plan and 2004 Omnibus Plan as an inducement award without stockholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4) that vested 33% on August 6, 2011, and 33% on August 6, 2012. The remaining 34% vested on August 6, 2013.
	As part of the acquisition of Aerial7, on October 7, 2010, the Company entered into employment agreements with a three year term with the three founders and key employees of Aerial7. Each of these three key employees received grants of 12,500 RSUs, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split, outside of the Company’s 2004 Directors Plan and 2004 Omnibus Plan as an inducement award without stockholder approval pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(c)(4). Each of these RSU grants vest in equal annual installments of 4,167 RSUs, with the first vesting event occurring on October 7, 2011, the second vesting event occurring on October 7, 2012 and the remaining vesting event scheduled to occur on October 7, 2013. On January 15, 2013, one of the three key employees departed the Company, resulting in the acceleration of a pro-rata portion of the RSUs that were unvested at the time of his departure. On August 23, 2013, the remaining key employees departed the Company, resulting in the acceleration of their remaining RSUs that were unvested at the time of their departures.
	In connection with the tender offer by Steel Excel Inc. (“Steel”) to acquire up to 1,316,866 of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, representing a 44.7% ownership position in the Company on a fully-diluted basis, at a price of $3.95 per share (the “Offer”), the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the conditional acceleration of full vesting of outstanding RSUs upon the commencement of the Offer. Accordingly, upon the consummation of the Offer, $255,000 unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options and RSUs was recognized on August 23, 2013. The Company determined that there was no additional incremental value to recognize as compensation expense as a result of this award modification.

	(c) Stock Options
	In 1996, the Company adopted the Incentive Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”). The 1996 Plan terminated on April 30, 2008. The options under the 1996 Plan and the Omnibus Plan were granted at the fair market value of the Company’s stock at the date of grant as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Options become exercisable over varying periods up to 3.5 years and expire at the earlier of termination of employment or up to six years after the date of grant. At December 31, 2013, there were no shares available for grant under the 1996 Plan and Director Plan and 232,832 shares available under the Omnibus Plan, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split.
	The Company did not grant any stock options during the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company granted 153,333 stock options during the year ended December 31, 2012, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split.
	Upon the consummation of the Offer, referenced in Note 11(b) above, $219,000 unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options was recognized on August 23, 2013. The Company determined that there was no additional incremental value to recognize as compensation expense as a result of this award modification.

	The aggregate intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the years ended December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was zero.
	The Company did not grant any stock options during the years ended December 31, 2013. The weighted average fair value of options granted in the year ended December 31, 2012 was $0.51. The fair value of the stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model, which relied on the following key assumptions with respect to the options granted during the respective periods:
		Year Ended
		December 31,
		2012
	Weighted average risk-free interest rate		1.21	%
	Expected life of the options (in years)		6.41
	Expected stock price volatility		76.01	%
	Expected dividend yield		-
	The Black-Scholes option valuation model was developed for use in estimating the fair value of traded options that have no vesting restrictions and are fully transferable. In addition, option valuation models require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility.

The expected term of the options and stock price volatility are based on historical data of the Company.
	(d) Preferred Stock and Dividends
	On June 20, 2013, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Rights Agreement with its transfer agent, which amended and restated the Company’s previous Rights Agreement dated as of June 11, 2003, as amended, scheduled to expire on June 23, 2013. In connection with the Company’s entering into the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement, the Board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right (a “ Right” and collectively, the “Rights” ) for each outstanding share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company to stockholders of record at the close of business on June 30, 2013.
	The Rights granted under the Amended and Restated Rights Agreement are intended to establish a deterrent to any person acquiring 4.9% or more of the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, or any existing 4.9% or greater holder from acquiring any additional shares representing 1.0% or more of the then outstanding common stock, in each case, without the approval of the Board, in an effort to preserve the Company’s net operating losses and other similar tax attributes against potential limitations presented by stock ownership changes.
	Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series H Junior Participating Preferred Stock (“Preferred Stock”), par value $0.01 per share, of the Company’s preferred stock at a price of $6.75 per one one-thousandth of a share. The Rights become exercisable only, however, after any person acquires, or announces intention to acquire via a tender or exchange offer, 4.9% or more of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock. Prior to such time, the Board may redeem the Rights in whole, but not in part, at a redemption price of $0.01 per Right payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or another form of consideration at the option of the Company. Immediately upon the redemption of any Rights, the holder’s right to exercise such Rights will terminate and the holder will be entitled only to receive the redemption price.
Until a Right is exercised or exchanged, the holder thereof, as such, will have no additional rights as a stockholder of the Company, including, without limitation, the right to vote or to receive dividends.
Shares of Preferred Stock issued upon exercise of the Rights will not be redeemable. Each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled, when, as and if declared, to a minimum preferential quarterly dividend payment of the greater of (a) $10 per share, and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the dividend declared per share of common stock. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, the holders of the Preferred Stock will be entitled to a minimum preferential payment of the greater of (a) $1,000 per share (plus any accrued but unpaid dividends), and (b) an amount equal to 1,000 times the payment made per share of common stock. Each share of Preferred Stock will have 1,000 votes, voting together with the common stock. Finally, in the event of any merger, consolidation or other transaction in which outstanding shares of common stock are converted or exchanged, each share of Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive 1,000 times the amount received per share of common stock. These rights are protected by customary anti-dilution provisions.
At December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, 15,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock were authorized. There were no shares of Preferred Stock issued and outstanding at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

	(13) Product Lines, Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
	The Company is engaged in the business of selling accessories for computers and mobile electronic devices. The Company has four product lines, consisting of Power, Protection, Audio, and Other Accessories. The Company's chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) continues to evaluate revenues and gross profits based on product lines, routes to market and geographies. As a result of the Company directing its focus primarily toward power products, it is not expected that Protection, Audio, or Other Accessories will provide a significant contribution to revenue in the future.
	The following tables summarize the Company’s revenues by product line, as well as its revenues by geography and the percentages of revenue by route to market (dollars in thousands):
		Revenue by Product Line

	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and trade accounts receivable. The Company places its cash with high credit quality financial institutions and generally limits the amount of credit exposure to the amount of FDIC coverage. However, periodically during the year, the Company maintains cash in financial institutions in excess of the current FDIC insurance coverage limit of $250,000. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers' financial condition but does not typically require collateral to support customer receivables. The Company establishes an allowance for doubtful accounts based upon factors surrounding the credit risk of specific customers, historical trends and other information.
	One customer, WalMart, accounted for 44% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2013. Three customers accounted for 28%, 13% and 6% of net sales for the year ended December 31, 2012.
	Three customers’ accounts receivable balance accounted for 71%, 15% and 12% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2013.
	Three customers’ accounts receivable balance accounted for 24%, 11% and 8% of net accounts receivable at December 31, 2012.
	Allowance for doubtful accounts was $486,000 and $362,000 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Allowance for sales returns and price protection was $265,000 and $508,000 at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

	(14) Contingencies
	The Company procures its products primarily from supply sources based in Asia. Typically, the Company places purchase orders for completed products and takes ownership of the finished inventory upon completion and delivery from its supplier. Occasionally, the Company presents its suppliers with “Letters of Authorization’ for the suppliers to procure long-lead raw components to be used in the manufacture of the Company’s products. These Letters of Authorization indicate the Company’s commitment to utilize the long-lead raw components in production. As of June 30, 2007, based on a change in strategic direction, the Company determined it would not procure certain products for which it had outstanding Letters of Authorization with suppliers. The Company believed it was probable that it would be required to pay suppliers for certain Letter of Authorization commitments and has now settled these obligations. At December 31, 2013, the Company had no contingencies. At December 31, 2012, the Company had estimated and accrued a liability for this contingency in the amount of $80,000.
	From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company is not currently a party to any litigation that the Company believes, if determined adversely to it, would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Accounting Policies, by Policy (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies [Abstract]	'
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(a) Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make a number of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, the Company evaluates its estimates, including those related to bad debt expense, sales returns and price protection, inventories, warranty obligations, and contingencies and litigation. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
	The Company believes its critical accounting policies, consisting of revenue recognition, inventory valuation, deferred tax asset valuation, and goodwill and long-lived asset valuation affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of its consolidated financial statements. These policies are discussed below.
Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(b) Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of iGo, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, Mobility California, Inc., Mobility Idaho, Inc., iGo EMEA Limited, Mobility Texas, Inc., iGo Direct Corporation, Adapt Mobile Limited (“Adapt”), and Aerial7 Industries, Inc. (“Aerial7”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts to conform to the current year presentation.
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(c) Revenue Recognition
	The Company recognizes net revenue when the earnings process is complete, as evidenced by an agreement with the customer, transfer of title and acceptance, if applicable, as well as fixed pricing and probable collectability. Revenue from product sales is recognized upon shipment and transfer of ownership from the Company or contract manufacturer to the customer, unless the customer has full right of return, in which case revenue is deferred until either the product has sold through to the end user or a reasonable estimate of returns can be made. Allowances for sales returns and credits are provided for in the same period the related sales are recorded. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
	Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of revenues. We do not bill customers for freight.
Advertising Costs, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(d) Advertising costs
	The Company expenses advertising costs as incurred. Advertising costs for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were $28,431 and $123,016 respectively.
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(e) Cash and Cash Equivalents
	All short-term investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are considered to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and amounts on deposit with financial institutions.
Investment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(f) Investments
	Short-term investments that have an original maturity between three months and one year and a remaining maturity of less than one year are classified as available-for-sale. Available-for-sale securities are recorded at fair value and are classified as current assets due to the Company’s intent and practice to hold these readily marketable investments for less than one year. Any unrealized holding gains and losses related to available-for-sale securities are recorded, net of tax, as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. When a decline in fair value is determined to be other than temporary, unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities are charged against net earnings. Realized gains and losses are accounted for on the specific identification method.
Trade and Other Accounts Receivable, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(g) Accounts Receivable
	Accounts receivable consist of trade receivables from customers. The Company maintains allowances for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of the Company's customers to make required payments. The allowance is assessed on a regular basis by management and is based upon management's periodic review of the collectability of the receivables with respect to historical experience. If the financial condition of the Company's customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. The Company also maintains an allowance for sales returns and credits in the amount of the difference between the sales price and the cost of revenue based on management’s periodic review and estimate of returns. Should the actual return or sales credit rates differ from the Company's estimates, revisions to the estimated allowance for sales returns and credits may be required.
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(h) Inventories
	Inventories consist of finished goods and component parts purchased partially and fully assembled for computer accessory items. The Company has all normal risks and rewards of its inventory held by contract manufacturers and outsourced product fulfillment hubs. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market. Inventories include material, labor and overhead costs. Overhead costs are allocated to inventory based on a percentage of material costs. The Company monitors usage reports to determine if the carrying value of any items should be adjusted due to lack of demand for the items. The Company adjusts down the carrying value of inventory for estimated obsolescence or unmarketable inventory equal to the difference between the cost of inventory and the estimated market value based upon assumptions about future demand and market conditions. If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by management, additional inventory write-downs may be required.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(i) Property and Equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation on furniture, fixtures and equipment is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from three to five years. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the lease term or estimated useful life. Tooling is capitalized at cost and is depreciated over a two-year period. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(j) Intangible Assets
	Intangible assets include the cost of patents and trademarks, as well as identifiable intangible assets acquired through business combinations including trade names and software technology. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated economic lives of three to ten years. The Company periodically evaluates the recoverability of intangible assets and takes into account events or circumstances that warrant revised estimates of useful lives or that indicate that an impairment exists. The Company evaluates recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future projections of undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. The estimated future cash flows used are based on our business plans and forecasts, which consider historical results adjusted for future expectations. If future market conditions and the Company’s outlook deteriorate, the Company may be required to record impairment charges in the future. The Company’s intangible assets at December 31, 2013 will continue to be utilized upon implementation of the License Agreement and are not considered to be impaired.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Goodwill, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(k) Goodwill
	Goodwill is the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment annually as of October 1, or more frequently if indications of impairment arise.
Standard Product Warranty, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(l) Warranty Costs
	The Company provides limited warranties on certain of its products for periods generally not exceeding three years. The Company accrues for the estimated cost of warranties at the time revenue is recognized. The accrual is based on the Company's actual claim experience. Should actual warranty claim rates, or service delivery costs, differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
Income Tax, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(m) Income Taxes
	The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. Under the asset and liability method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the year in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce its deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. While the Company has considered forecasts of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for the valuation allowance, in the event the Company was to determine that it would be able to realize its deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net recorded amount, an adjustment to the valuation allowance and deferred tax benefit would increase net income in the period such determination was made.
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(n) Net Loss per Common Share
	Basic loss per share is computed by dividing loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period, as adjusted for the 1-for-12 reverse stock split. Diluted loss per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted to common stock or resulted in the issuance of common stock that then shared in the earnings or loss of the Company. For 2013 and 2012, the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and the impact of restricted stock units have been excluded from the calculations of diluted net loss per share as their effect is anti-dilutive.
Share-based Compensation, Option and Incentive Plans Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(o) Share-based Compensation
	The Company measures all share-based payments to employees at fair value and records expense in the consolidated statement of operations over the requisite service period (generally the vesting period).
Fair Value of Financial Instruments, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(p) Fair Value of Financial Instruments
	The Company's financial instruments include cash equivalents, short-term investments, long-term investments, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. Due to the short-term nature of cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable, the fair value of these instruments approximates their recorded value. The Company does not have material financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk.
Research, Development, and Computer Software, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(q) Research and Development
	The cost of research and development is charged to expense as incurred.
Foreign Currency Transactions and Translations Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(r) Foreign Currency Translation
	The financial statements of the Company's foreign subsidiaries are measured using the local currency as the functional currency. Assets and liabilities of these subsidiaries are translated at exchange rates as of the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates of exchange in effect during the year. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments have been recorded as comprehensive income (loss), a separate component of stockholders' equity.
Segment Reporting, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(s) Segment Reporting
	The Company is engaged in the business of selling accessories for computers and mobile electronic devices and operates a single business segment.
New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(t) Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2013-11 (“ASU 2013-11”), Income Taxes (Topic 740): Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. The update clarifies that an unrecognized tax benefit should be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. In situations where the tax benefit is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law or if the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for such purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit should be presented as a liability and not combined with deferred tax assets. ASU 2013-11 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The amendment is to be applied to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist as of the effective date and may be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. While early adoption is permitted, we expect to adopt ASU 2013-11 on January 1, 2014. We do not expect the adoption of these new presentation requirements to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
	In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2012-02, "Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment" ("ASU No. 2012-02"), which allows entities to use a qualitative approach to test indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment. ASU No. 2012-02 permits an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset is less than its carrying value. If it is concluded that this is the case, it is necessary to perform the currently prescribed quantitative impairment test. Otherwise, the quantitative impairment test is not required. ASU No. 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
	In February 2013, the FASB issued guidance that requires entities to present information about reclassification adjustments from accumulated other comprehensive income in their financial statements or footnotes. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2012. The Company adopted this guidance for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2013.
Subsequent Events, Policy [Policy Text Block]	'
	(u) Subsequent events
	Subsequent events are events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued. We recognize in the financial statements the effects of all subsequent events that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing the financial statements. Our financial statements do not recognize subsequent events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are issued.
