We’ve all been there. Â That moment when your phone is dying and your charging cable is nowhere to be found. Â That moment when you want to share some photos and your parent’s have no idea what a micro-usb cable even is. Â Well today, you don’t have to be there any more. Â PlusUs has recently announced the thinnest charging/sync cable I have ever seen, the LifeLink.
Reigning in at just 1/10 of an inch thick (2 credit cards), LifeLink is an excellent solution to carrying around a cable when you need it the most. Â The cable is encased in a highly durable Teflon mold that protects the cable. In the middle of the cable lies a spring which allows you to bend the cable in any direction you need to. Â When you are not using the cable, it conveniently snaps together from its original length of 7 inches to roughly 3.5 inches.
After using the cable for about a week, I discovered how convenient it really is. Â I despise putting a 3ft long cable into my pocket so I can get a quick charge during the day or transferring data between my phone and office computer. Â Having the LifeLink has been a real plus for me and it also makes me feel good that for every LifeLink PlusUs sells, they will donate to a charity of your choice: education for children, shelter for a family, or water for a community.
The LifeLink comes in three models: Micro-USB, Lightning (current Apple devices), and 30-Pin connector (older Apple devices) which will cost roughly $24 + Shipping ($5 worldwide or $8 worldwide with tracking) for the micro-usb or an additional $2 for the Lightning model. Â You can also choose between either gray or a white color. Â The cable is currently for pre-order at LifeLink’s website and ships early 2014.
