MicFlip Fully Reversible microUSB cable review
I was thrilled five months ago to
try out the MicFlip reversible microUSB cable. And it was everything it
promised to be - a very well made cable which goes in your phone's port either
way.
Now there is a new version of the
cable to fix the one omission the MicFlip had - dual reversible ends. Indeed,
the new MicFlip microUSB cable is now reversible on both of its ends and it can
go either way in your charger or PC, as well as into your device.
The MicFlip 2.0, as I like to
call it, isn't just a reversible 2m-long cable. It has a great attention to
detail - its connectors are gold plated, the cable is tangle-free thanks to
some strong nylon braids, and it has rubber protection plus aluminum housing.
All these cool features mean the
MicFlip is very durable cable and won't just stop working in a year because of
wear or folding cuts. It will probably outlast the microUSB standard itself as
more and more mobile devices are already switching to USB Type-C.
Anyway, if you are like me -
plugging in and out lots if microUSB devices daily - this MicFlip cable will
serve you well. No more hassle of turning the cable into the right direction on
whatever end.
The microUSB time maybe ending,
but the devices using these ports are still a lot more than those employing USB
Type-C. And that's why I welcome a cable that gives you all the comfort USB
Type-C introduces suited for microUSB ports.
You can get the MicFlip Fully
Reversible microUSB cable for $20 - that's a lot for a microUSB cable, but then
again there are other equally expensive options and you still have to be
careful which way you plug those. Plus you get free shipping if you order from
the company's official website.
