Omnia Retractable Data/Power Cable

One of the first things that I got for my new phone was a retractable data/power cable.

Mini-Sync Omnia Cable

I needed a data/charge cable, preferably one that retracts that I could carry with me that worked plugged into any USB power source.

Apparently, Samsung did some tricks and some how prevents the device from charging unless you use power from an AC USB device or a USB from a computer. Cigarette lighter USB connections didn’t work.

This cable solves that by having two plugs on the phone end. One for plugging into just a power device (including Cigarette lighter USB adapters), and one for plugging into a computer for data and charging.

Works great.

Cable Unretracted

Note that this did not come with any instructions at all, but the plug that has the symbols on it, is for AC power or USB non-computer power connections.

Also, these showed up FAST!. I ordered them on a Thursday and they arrived on Saturday.

Price: $19.95
