The magnetic connection fails after a short period of use.

I really wanted to fall in love with this product. I use my Android Auto phone in the car daily and can just bring the cable to the phone and plug it in and disconnect without damaging the cable or damaging the phone (in case I forgot it was holstered). and got out of the car). When it arrived I plugged the USB-C end into my phone, plugged the cable into my car, connected the two and started the car. My car's system loaded Android Auto and everything looked fine. However, the connection between the adapter and the cable was very delicate. Any bump in the road can cause the cable to detach from the phone. Then I quickly realized that even when the car isn't moving, Android Auto only works for a short time before stopping. I thought it might be a bad end or cable and tried the other end and cable. Everything worked as expected this time, except that the cable only worked in one position and the cable end had to be completely free floating. If it touches anything, the connection will be broken. However, I could live with it and it worked for about three weeks before becoming as inoperable as the first cable. Now the second cable doesn't even charge the phone when plugged into the wall charger. This is a very good idea. However, the connection must be stronger. Either the magnets need to be stronger, or the hardware needs to snap in at a greater distance, or both. However, the quality seems to be moody and the hardware just isn't strong enough to last a few weeks in a car at most.

Pros
  • beautiful thing
Cons
  • I don't remember but there was something
