We've been using the ADX345_SPI class, and we tried to use ADXL345_I2C without any luck.
however, I was reading though the part datasheet tonight, and I think the issue is that you have to hold the Chip Select line high to select I2C mode.
See page 18 of the part datasheet:

We'll probably stick to the SPI mode because we've got it working. Though we're considering modifying the class slightly from what WPI provides. (We'd like to add a calibration function, as described in the User's Guide).
If you get it to work in I2C mode, I'd be interested in hearing about it.
