Revainrating 3 out of 5

Absolutely magical! Android Auto, Fast Charge, Everything

I never review Revain, but this cable system is by far the coolest thing I've bought in a long, long time. My car has Android Auto integrated well and I drive it all the time, which means I plug and unplug my phone a lot. As a result, I've had to replace several phones over the years because the USB port has worn out, and before that I'm constantly swapping out worn out cables. I was hoping that the newer USB-C based phones would be better, but they aren't. To be honest I was skeptical that this product would work - Android Auto is notoriously picky about USB connections. It works great! The adapter is tiny and barely noticeable when installed. The cables themselves are of very high quality and simply pleasant to the touch. They are soft and very, very flexible, more like cords than cables. The magnets are very strong and hold securely. I just toss my phone in the cup holder and wave the cord vaguely, and it instantly turns on with a slight click. I've had them for a few weeks now and I still smile every time. Even cooler, the plug is artfully round, so orientation doesn't matter. Just close the end and it will connect, no need to search. I bought 3 packs of six foot cords. One in my car, one by my bed, and one on my desk at work. I have a Samsung wireless charger at work and I plugged the micro USB adapter into it and left the cable plugged into it. Wireless fast charging works perfectly! If I don't want to use a wireless charger (because I pick up my phone a lot), I just plug the cable from the charger to my phone. This means I don't need two chargers at work. At home I use it next to my bed, plugged into a regular fast charger. The end of the cord sticks well to various metal spots near my bed when not in use, which is handy. The ONLY downside is that there is a fairly bright blue LED ring at the charging end that is always on. Looks cool, I think, but very bright. I don't notice my car or at work, but in a dark room on the bedside table it is very distracting. I solved the problem by wrapping it with a spool of electrical tape. The LED glows enough to be found in a completely dark room, but not enough to be otherwise noticeable, so what was a minus is now a plus. I have a few friends who bought them after seeing mine and they all love them. Seriously, this is awesome and should be built into all phones. I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ and a Honda Accord if that helps anyone.
