Today’s Deal:

Today we have a blue 6-foot USB 2.0 flat micro USB cable. The cable is easy to coil and because it is flat it is not prone to tangling. So why flat? Personally, I have found flat cables to be quite useful due to their flatness. For example, I have my car USB charger in the center console of my car:

So if I use a regular cable, I find that the lid to the center console might not shut completely. However, with the flat cable, I can close the lid the entire way and just have the cable going out to charge my phone.

I also use one at home to charge my phone next to my bed and find that it fits snugly between the mattress and the wall. This has the added benefit of helping to keep it in place without it moving around too much.

One thing I noticed since I have an Otterbox case on my Samsung Galaxy S3 is that sometimes I would not insert the plug the whole way and it would then come unplugged if I moved it around. The fit is nice but the case can have an affect on how snug the connection is.

The best solution I found and one that ensures I always have a secure fit is to pair this cable with a 6-inch micro USB extension:

Because the male connector is smaller, it ensures that the case does not get in the way. Even if you don’t need the flat cable, the short micro USB extension is a great way to get a little more length out of your current phone or tablet USB cords. Since it does not get in the way, it means that even when I move the cable around, the cable does not come unplugged and actually takes a bit of effort to unplug.
