Seems like a useful gadget for cellphone, can plug in USB cable both side easily, even better than Type-C cable. But the video shows that it's not easy to take it away if you have plugged it in. :D

Nice, exactly what I was looking for thanks, cringing at how rough I have to be with my MP3 player to get the USB cable out.

ejabrod

Thanks OP. Just ordered 2!

By the way there's a version with a longer plug aswell for similar price if you want to try using it with a case or whatever:

Wish there was a black version though.

Anyone order from them before? Trustworthy? They get absolutely slated on this site https://ie.trustpilot.com/review/www.tinydeal.com.
Mind you, I don't know anything about trustpilot.com either!

Thanks OP. Never heard of these before.

Anybody tried these things before? We go through a ridiculous amount of micro USB cables so these would be great if work.

They have them for around the same price (maybe slightly more) on AliExpress.

I have 3 off these, the light is super annoying at night time but u can twist it the other way around or tape over it. Wish the cable was a lil longer but decent thing none the less

yes, the longer one maybe will more convenient for some phones with cases. I didn't see the black version, if I find it I will share in this thread.

The trustpilot is a good review site, but I don't think the point is absolute, we still need to make decision by ourself. In my opinion, the samll gadget like this will not have big problem, maybe only the shipping speed we need to consider about.

The video has showed that we can twist it the other way to avoid the light, it can still charging for your phone.

black electrical tape is great. I've taped over loads of LEDs they're brighter than the sun on these kind of devices.

my question though, does the light not come on at all when only charging?

Popple3

Cheers OP, picked up a few of these. Worth a shot for the price.

Thanks OP, bought 3.

You can get spare phone inserts for 99c too.

the light still open when only charging, but when you only want for charging, you can flip it to another side.

yes, but i don't know whether this phone insert can both fit for original one and the upgraded one.

The "upgraded" one appears to be only a bit longer micro usb plug to fit a device that's inside a case

How strong are the magnets? Electronics and magnets don't go well

Nice find. I've seen another of these in the past, but they didn't do data, looks like this one does. Though I'd guess that LED on the connector would get annoying at night.

Incidentally, it looks a lot like this kickstarter a few months ago:

Yeah, that happens to those kickstarter projects. it 'inspires' the Chinese to get started with their version right away. Happened to that Pressy button too. Not before long companies like Xiaomi were making them for RMB 5. (Pressy did take their time to release their version and for way too much)

i think the magnets is strong enough, the video shows that you can even drag it perpendicularly.

about two weeks from China to Europe. (could have been faster but PostNL is *&^$ in the Netherlands)

Only after getting a shipping notification for this tonight, they must have had some Christmas.
