I had the same issue with micro-usb pins. I have recently upgraded my phone to a HTC 10 with USB-C which eliminates this problem as they don’t have any pins. They are also reversible like the apple lighting connector which I find very handy. Hopefully all manufactures will adopt this technology to solve this common problem with micro-usb.
What length of charging cable do you use?
I use 3ft cables most of the time. With rapid charging I no longer charge my phone overnight so no need for one beside my bed. For my desk at work and car charger the 3ft ones are just about right. a 4-5ft one for leaving my Powercore in my bag and being able to hold my phone would be ideal. 6ft is a bit too long and ends up getting tangled and wrapped around things.
10 footers. Outlets never seem to be easily accessible and and shorter cables just get you tangled up and wind up shorter than what they should be.
Always have a 10 foot cable in my bag!
3 Ft. Lighting Cable.
I go for the 3 foot braided cable because I carry a battery bank on me most of the time. Also have a 10 foot, but I havent used that in a long time
6ft all the way
6 ft charging cable
3’ with the Powercore 5000 and a 6’ and 10’
I use the 6ft
3ft 6ft and 10ft. They all have their places where they work the best.
I use a 6 foot cable, but honestly I wouldn’t mind a 10 foot one.
I prefer 3 ft and 1 ft cords.
12ft. Cable
I just ordered the PowerLine 6ft lightning cable because my Apple cord was weak.
I agree the standard apple cables are very prone to breaking and way to short!
Wow that’s pretty long! Sounds like you need some more sockets or a smaller house haha!
I use the 6 ft ones pretty much everywhere. Except at my desk I use a 3 ft one because I have a power strip right there to plug my charger into.
edit: and with my mobile power i obviously dont carry a 6ft around lol, i use a 1 ft with those usually
I’ve only used 3’ cables so far. I do have one 6’ cable, but I leave most of it coiled up as I just don’t have a need for longer than 3’.
I like the 5 ft. Length
