Review on Cable Matters 2-Pack Retractable Micro USB Cable - 2.5 Feet: Tangle-Free Charging on the Go by Larry Morris

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I hope they last longer than my NomadKey.

I have to say they have decent data transfer speeds, charge well and pack into a nice compact body. If they last, they'll be a great little addition to my charging kit. I've been a little wary of travel cables since buying the NomadKey although the thing fell apart within a few weeks but unless I have to go back and say they fell apart I'm really happy with them on first use. EDIT: It took about a month before one of them broke. Surprisingly it wasn't the retracting mechanism but the connector that bent slightly when my phone fell off a low table but didn't latch and ended up in the bin. Overall not bad for the price. . I would happily spend more money on something similar but more durable.

Pros
  • Affordable Two-Piece Retractable Phone Charger Cord is an ultra-compact 1-ounce accessory cord that slips into your accessory bag when traveling; Dual function USB charging cable and USB data cable
Cons
  • Expensive
