Quality materials with some nice features.

Kit includes three cables and 9 magnetic adapter ends; three USB Type-C, 3 USB Micro (OTG) and 3 for Apple. I only use USB Type-C and haven't used the others yet. It wasn't the cheapest product of its kind, but I was looking for something better. I was impressed with the build quality of this product. It's rugged, with sturdy connectors and a long, soft, flexible, braided cable outer - a nice improvement over the short, stiff vinyl cables that always seem to get in my way. Built-in blue LED indicator at the end of the magnet (device). The connector makes it easy to find the end of the cable in the dark (when it's powered on) and verify that USB power is on. Unlike others, it's not so bright that it blinds or distracts you, but it will still brighten up a very dark room a bit. A small piece of black tape wrapped around the connector completely blocks the light if that's an issue for you. The magnetic connection between the adapter(s) and the cable is very strong, so it cannot easily fall off. As the magnets approach each other, they snap together so the contacts line up correctly every time. If the charging connector is still firmly attached to your device, this works great. To remove the magnets, simply tilt the cable at the magnet sleeve and the magnets will easily disengage. If you try to pull the magnets apart, the connector will likely just pop out without the magnets separating unless your charging connector is VERY tight. Once disconnected, the adapter should remain in your device's charging port, and the end of the magnetic cable can be attached to the nearest ferrous object (steel, iron) if it's nearby so it won't get in the way. If you frequently plug and unplug your device and/or use multiple charging stations (at home, in the car, etc.), a magnetic clutch will certainly make things easier and significantly reduce the wear and tear on your device's charging port. On the other hand, if the charging socket in your device is already loose from wear and use, the plug can easily fall out without the magnetic clutch detaching - just like any cable/plug in a loose socket. This is not the product's fault and will of course occur with any plug/cable on any device with a loose charging port. However, please note that this product will not "fix" a worn/loose charge port issue. Another note is that if your device has a case or other obstruction around the charging port that requires a very small or specialized connector, magnetic adapters are fairly large in diameter and therefore may not connect fully or easily. I found the aftermarket case I use on my Moto G6 to get in the way, but it can be cut with an X-Acto knife to remove the small portion of the case around the port that gets in the way. I am very happy with this product and would recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their device's charging and user experience. -JCM
