Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sturdy but many cables don't fit in a pocket

The case is solid and the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 Premium Portable Charger actually fits in a pocket. The case feels solid and the zipper is well constructed. Haven't traveled with it yet but I believe it will save my anchor from being crushed, damaged or scratched while travelling. Now for the cons, when the cable that comes with the Anker charger is plugged in, the charger will not fit in your pocket as shown in the product photo (note the product photo uses an iPhone charger cable so it fits snugly in your pocket) ). Pocket). What I have never noticed is that the small piece of plastic right next to the plug, from which the cable comes out is of different widths. and since this case barely fits the Anker PowerCore+ 26800, the charger will not fit with a standard sized charging cable attached. The only option would be to put it in your pocket and bend the cable, eventually damaging it and probably ruining the cable. I have several charging cables with a smaller plastic part that allows the charger to fit completely in my pocket. This isn't a problem for me - I have no problem sliding the charger slightly out of my pocket and leaving the zip wider open when I'm charging.
