Review on CinchForce Magnetic Compartment Compatible Micro USB by Vedavyas Fleming

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The currently best multi-USB charging cable. Really happy with this find.

Includes 3 cables Black 6ft Red 4ft Purple 1ft(?) Edit 1: Data is transferred at a fairly high speed. It can be used to sync music and GPS to car. End edit 1. The rotating magnetic head is convenient for my gaming needs. I can charge my phone with a 90° cable and it doesn't get in the way like my regular cable. It can also rotate on its own axis! That means I can charge my phone from any angle with a really smooth, discreet articulation. The detachable magnetic head helps avoid damage to the charging port if I forget/drop my phone. I don't recommend using a rubberized connector holder as it can easily fall off when you bend the cable. Reason 2: The heads fit hard in the center slot, but they don't seem to fit well on either end when the cable is plugged in. So I just don't use a rubberized mount at all. Instead, I went with a small zip case. They are not easy to lose and safe. Beware of detachable heads. They are small and easily lost when removed from devices. Luckily there are 3 of these included so I just plug them into my devices all the time and just move the cord from one device to another. It is very simple and fast compared to other cables with multiple USB cables that you need to attach to the head connector before you can plug it in for charging. Finally the cables seem real and the charging is as fast as my OEM for my gaming phone. I am really happy with this product and I think I will be ordering more for family and friends as gifts for the holidays. Edit 2: I've had this product for a while and am having issues with the long cord that I use with frequent punishment. Of course I've had my phone dropped or pulled heavily while charging, so credit has to be given to the product, it's holding up well. What makes it great and unique has become a separate topic. The pivoting part of the pan head was now loose from the kink, and my music in the car was interrupted every time I hit the smallest pothole. I temporarily secured it with a vise to tighten it a bit. Works as before but looks a bit damaged. If this happens, increase the pressure, check for loose contact, and if necessary, go a little lower. Rinse and repeat. If you press too hard (or at an angle) you'll break it easily, like my first attempt.

Pros
  • Cables and Connections
Cons
  • Cables shorter than others
