Griffin Technology GC17097 USB Mini-Cable Kit

I was looking for some extra USB cables to keep in my laptop bag for use with my Macbook Air / iPhone 4S, and I came across this three-cable set. I've had other Griffin products before so I was expecting some decent stuff, but when the USB Mini-Cable Kit arrived, I was very pleased with what I received. I ended up leaving my iPhone cable and my external USB drive cable at home in favor of these. I don't personally have a need for the third mini-USB cable - but they're so small that I don't mind leaving all three cables in a small pocket on my laptop bag just in case.The cables are thick and feel very strong compared to thinner, more trouble-prone cables out there (including Apple's cables included with iPhones/iPads) and the plugs all fit very well. Their lengths are perfect when I want to charge my iPhone with my laptop's USB port, and I can work on my laptop without worrying about extra length of cable getting in the way of my mouse or my hands. The cables have some flex in them but not enough to twist - I'm not sure if this next observation is applicable with all devices, but with the combination of my Macbook Air, iPhone 4S, and external hard drive, the cable plugs are situated so that there's no twisting needed - in other words, when plugged into my laptop, my iPhone sits face up, and my external hard drive sits right-side up.With cables this short you can't expect to use them in instances where you definitely need a longer cable - such as if you want to charge from an AC plug using a USB charge block (like iPhone wall chargers) - they're not designed for that purpose, so it wouldn't be fair to call their length a fault. In fact it's their length that makes them as useful and convenient as they are, and the price is right for the quality and utility. I've recommended these cables to anyone who's asked me for some good OEM replacements, and once I explain to them why they're so convenient, they end up buying the cable set for themselves.

Work great!bought: 3 months ago. * I will update if time changes performance or view on product.Product:* Apple product USB adapter* Mini USB adapter* Micro USB adapterTravel: * Commute by bus to work * Fly to Guatemala from Seattle every 6 months * Or work from homeAttributes: * compact:** Do not take a lot of room in bags or on desk** No wires to coil up, de-tangle or manage** Easy to get in and out of bag, easy to use and put away * Flexible:** Will allow for a quarter turn comfortably.** I suppose you could crank a half turn, but that would put pressure on USB ports.** Will flex to offset down or up to your device. Allowing only minimal pressure on USB portsWhat I use them for:* Charging:** I-Phone,** I-Touch 2,3,and 4,** I-pod Nano,** Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headphones,** Kindle* Info exchange:** I-Phone,** I-Touch 2,3,and 4,** I-pod Nano,** Kindle,** cameras(plural),** HDD camcorder,** External hard drive.Apple adapter: works fine for all my apple products. My four kids, wife, and myself have I-products thus the list of multiple products. The apple adapter does not have the locking pegs on the side. This can be a plus or a minus depending on how you look at it. Yes, your I-product will slip off if you are moving around with it, BUT you will not damage the I-product or your computer USB port by letting the wire hold onto the product in case of a fall. (I have a 3g I-touch that does not work anymore do to this).These are 3 essential USB adapters in a compact, user friendly format. Ideal for the commuter, Traveler, or person that just wants to keep their desk top clear of clutter and tangled wires.I recommend these, I would by them again.Just throwing an update in (12-5-11) Still love these. Work as described above. I have had no issues with them and have bought a second set. This second set had the locking pegs on the sides of the apple adapter. I use them all the time.

An excellent addition to my daily carry - tangle-free, saves space in my bag, and allows me to leave the original cables for my stuff on my desk, so heading out to work is just a matter of slinging my laptop in my bag and heading out the door.Trousers! OK, laptop in bag, put on trousers, head out door. Can get a bit chilly and arrested-for-public-indecency-y otherwise. But that is not the fault of the Griffin USB Adapter Mini Cable Kit. Don't go blaming a perfectly useful piece of technology for your general lack of-What?Yes I know all about The Incident. Your ex told me ALL about it. We talked and laughed and laughed and drank Japanese Single Malt together and stayed up to watch the sun rise and-Oh get over yourself. You sabotaged that relationship all by yourself and you know it. From what I hear, heading out to work with your Laptop and the Griffin USB Adapter Mini Cable Kit isn't the *only* time you have trouble keeping your drawers on. The thing is, your ex knew from the beginning. It's not like you made any special effort to hide it. I think you wanted to get found out. Your ex put up with it so that you would get it out of your system, eventually - and then I guess the thought was, well two can play at that game. What's the harm if you're both cheating? Why not? For a while, your ex thought that would be an tolerable way to live, cheating on each other and just pretending it's all OK, but it wasn't.It was too late to confess, too late to forgive, so the only thing to do was burn it all to the ground, salt the earth and move on. No, I don't mean literally. The fire in your apartment building was nothing to do with it, just some drunk kid microwaving a baked potato with a fork in it. Don't be paranoid.I'm not trying to shame you here. People do dumb stuff, and none of us are exemplary human beings at every time in every aspect of our lives. I'm just saying that to grow, to move on, to become a better version of yourself, you need to accept that the responsibility for this situation lies with YOU.Not your ex.Not me.And certainly not the Griffin USB Adapter Mini Cable Kit.…which is, incidentally, a very handy wee bit of gear.

Des minis cables semi rigides, faciles à transporter et moins fragiles que la plupart des cables habituels.Le matériau a le comportement d'un caoutchouc dur mais une texture de surface plus proche du plastique des clefs de véhicules les plus courantes. A titre d'exemple, le modèle pour iPod mesure 9,5 cm et pèse 9 grammes. Les cables sont assez rigides. Les 35 grammes d'un iPod de quatrième génération font ployer le cable d'environ 60° par rapport à l'horizontale quand le tout est tenu au niveau de la partie métallique de la prise USB. Il faut donc penser au support de l'appareil chargé selon l'emplacement des prises USB sources. Cà fait partie du concept, mais ça évite aussi d'avoir à enrouler des fils avec les conséquences sur leur durée de vie (et leur encombrement). Simple, pratique et apparemment solide.

Robusti e ben fatti questi tre adattatori USB!Così piccini ce ne sono pochi sul mercato!Anche il corpo centrale è ben fatto perché robusto e pieghevole allo stesso tempo!Come da descrizione con quei tre tipi di attacchi ci si può collegare tantissimi oggetti, smartphone, accessori ecc.Consigliato!

Personally, I don't like to have big cables connected to my devices, this is a great size for cables if you want to connect external devices besides your phone or iPhone, the connector have very good quality and are very gorgeous.

コンパクトで使いやすかったですが、もう少し安いと言うことありません。
