Exhibit 99.1

IGO REPORTS FIRST QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 9, 2012 – iGo, Inc. (Nasdaq: IGOI), a leading provider of eco-friendly power management solutions and accessories for mobile electronic devices, today reported financial results for the first quarter ending March 31, 2012.

Revenue was $8.2 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared with $9.2 million in the same period of the prior year.

Net loss was $2.8 million, or ($0.08) per share, in the first quarter of 2012, compared with a net loss of $1.6 million, or ($0.05) per share, in the same quarter of the prior year. The increase in net loss is primarily attributable to a lower level of sales of power products and lower gross margins in the retail channel.

The Company had $13.6 million in cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments, $10.7 million in working capital (excluding cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments), and no debt as of March 31, 2012.

Michael D. Heil, President and Chief Executive Officer of iGo, commented, “While our year-over-year revenue trends reflect the more challenging conditions for power products in the retail channel, we were able to generate a 14% increase in sales of our laptop and mobile device chargers relative to the fourth quarter of 2011. We continue to move forward with a number of initiatives designed to further improve the performance of our power products business, including introducing new chargers across a broader range of price points and exploring relationships with larger distributors of mobile electronic device accessories. We also continue to be pleased with the progress we are making with our audio products and with our rechargeable alkaline battery products, which we expect will continue to show positive trends throughout 2012.”

Gross margin for the first quarter of 2012 was 17.5%, compared with 31.0% in the first quarter of 2011. The decline in gross margin is primarily due to more competitive pricing for power products in the retail channel.

Total operating expenses were $4.2 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared with $4.5 million in the first quarter of 2011. The decline is primarily attributable to lower marketing expense.
