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

Why haven't I found this one yet? For the past two years I've carried a 2 foot frayed cord to my portable charger in my purse. This is a lifesaver, especially after switching from a handbag to a fanny pack. I like that they fit well in the port; I can plug in my portable charger, throw everything in my back pocket or fanny pack and run carefree. No tangle issues, which I was worried about. They also charge much faster than many other cables I've had. 2 packs are amazing; My friends love me for…

I have to say they have decent data transfer speeds, charge well and fit in 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…

Very strong. We've had a lot of cables with these ends and had a lot of problems with them, but we've had these two cables and they still work with no problems. The ends aren't loose yet, which is our common problem when disconnecting and reconnecting devices. The end of the USB connector isn't loose either, which is also an issue for the same reason things don't want to charge. These cables seem to last longer as they retract to a more secure position, saving me from having to buy replacement…

The title above speaks for itself. These cables do not charge the phone very well. After 24 hours of charging, the Samsung S7 is 5% charged. This is not a phone or charger as changing the cable to another brand works fine. Yes, and the photos are deceiving, the large USB connector is not as gold-colored as in the picture. Is this silver.

This is a great idea to keep your USB cables from getting tangled and tangled. I mainly use them for my travel chargers. They fast charge the Samsung phones in our family. When I last ordered one of the micro connectors was defective. No problem. An email to Cable Matters was answered in less than an hour - the replacement cable was already on its way. I've bought a lot of stuff from Cables Matters but this is the first time I've had to use their customer service. For those who complain that…

Works great so far. A bit of a learning curve in figuring out where to pull to pull it in. I've upgraded to a newer phone that uses USB-C, so I have these to power the micro USB devices we have or other people's phones in our adult cave (human cave I think, but with mine Woman, Open a bar) still being able to charge bro) It's hard to get used to. If I used it every day, it wouldn't "feel" hard. Recommend it to anyone who still wants a micro USB for friends visiting or occasionally charging a…

I bought two pairs of these little beauties about seven months ago and they've been running non-stop ever since, powering three desktop tablets and one portable LED desk lamp. When ordering, I was concerned that the winding mechanisms would gradually lose their effectiveness. . . em. . . Put away for the first few months of use, but all four coils continue to work flawlessly despite heavy use - each tablet is plugged in and unplugged up to a dozen times a day. The spools are still very…

Perfect for keeping in your pocket, car, purse or anywhere you need a backup charger. I buy them for the second time. I've had the first one for over 5 years now and although I haven't used it much as it was a spare that revived my car and bag I was very grateful to it. I wouldn't guess it's a regular daily charger, but I think it might be. I also have to say that while I had to replace my 5 year old, it was because they stopped cleaning and that made the whole point for me. The actual charging

About ago Bought two pairs of these little beauties about seven months ago and since then they've been working non-stop to operate three tablets on the desk and a portable LED table lamp. Mechanisms would gradually lose their own. . . em. . . Put away for the first few months of use, but all four coils continue to work flawlessly despite heavy use - each tablet is plugged in and unplugged up to a dozen times a day. The spools are still very flexible, the cables uncoil and uncoil without…

They are perfect. The other day I was fiddling with my devices, disconnecting various USB cables while trying to sort out the clutter. As a retired engineer, I figured why not design a rollable USB cable that would keep all of these things neat and tidy? I go to Revane and voila! There are many to choose from. Like most of my brilliant ideas, someone has already done it. I read the reviews and chose these guys. For $4 each in two packs, I ordered four (two, two packs). You are tiny. So I…
