i'd prefer a direct link

I'm not really sure why that's such an issue?

[BlueChinchillaEatingDorito]

Hopefully you guys tested those cables like Ashens have.

Well it's $7 on Amazon US so...

[Tyo_Atrosa]

I've 3d printed off a few of those sd card holders myself, less than $0.05 that way and i can make it however i want. really want some of those usb cables though, my wife is always breaking them and damaging ports. even the poor usb ports on her computer.  only one of the 6 usb 3.0 ports works now. and i can't tell her that is why i don't want her touching my computer, instead i have to act like i don't want her to find my porn or read my emails...

Watch out for that magnetic tip cable. 
From my experience I bought Wsken Mini 2 (Micro USB-B) and I was amazed how it worked. So I bought 15 more cables.

 

After while around from 2 to 4 months (depends on how much you use it and how you unplug connection) it gets more resistence. 

I could literally feel that tip (end from phone) getting warm due to higher resistence and also charging got slower (what a surprise) 

Also I had to from time to time clean both magnetic ends from dirt and metal junk it grabbed around. 

 

Great concept but I would be careful about it before you purchase it after half year using it I went back to normal cables and wireless charging. 

Also it fucks up phone compass so you have wrong direction at maps.

Thanks for this recommendation. While I don’t drag my iPhone while charging, having a magnetic connector just like the MagSafe connector is a huge plus. 

[MetaDrow]

Either not available in Canada or overpriced/ripoff... Pack of USB cables for $8 usd does not = $42 canadian rupees or at least it shouldn't be.

[Skanky Sylveon]

I wonder how well the Volta charging cable will work with wireless mice.

[iPolymer]

That cable is actually really cool. Like apples mac chargers with the magnets. I can get USB c for Blade and that would be sick!

I used it a lot via look at my previous reply for my experience. It was dope AF you can plug it easily. Also vaporizer was great with it. Anything

I saw that.  I would like to try it out, hopefully the Volta doesn't have the same issues as the Wsken.

The products from the video are not available in Germany. Just searched a bit for similar products and hope I can post links in the forum. On youtube I know that my comment will be hold back.

what about useful tech for below $1  

 

Sadly i cant even find the micro sd holder in amazon uk.

[webfischi]

The SD-Card Holder is the same as for Germany https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06WD92R1R/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_x_6a42zbDX11TCJ

[AshleyAshes]

Holy cow do I ever need those magnetic connectors.  Especially for my desk at work.

[Helltech]

Damn, I actually really like those Volta cables, but I don't want to buy them from their website and not getting them with Prime is just lame. There are TONS of other options of similar style cables on Amazon but most have bad reviews. Linus should do a roundup!

The geni.us links will redirect you to the product on your local amazon based on your IP, so if the product isn't on amazon.de for example it won't work.

[bestbattle]

$20 on that cable seems way to much.

I got this a while ago and it's pretty nice:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magnetic-Cable-Fast-Charging-Data-Sync-Micro-USB-for-IPhone-6-6s-Plus-5-5S-SE/32773876915.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.2nvsE3

The only downside: it has a green LED, which makes it harder to use with Xiaomi powerbanks (Xiaomi powerbanks power on when they sense a consumer and power off when the current stays unchanged - that LED being a fixed consumer, runs on the same current, so the powerbank will turn on when the cable is connected without a consumer, and turn off after a while, make it not auto-turn on when connecting the phone - via the magnetic end).

You should check more Chinese things for Handy Techs. They have way better prices ($20 is way too much for a cable, even a magnetic reversible one). 

Another advantage would be that Chinese things are world wide available, not like amazon things.

i guess it's because it sends me to amazon.de instead of amazon.com or .ca ...
