Codistas Micro Flip USB Review

Here's wishing you guys a Merry Christmas and have a great new year ahead! This review came a little later because something bad happened yesterday, but I'll leave it as that since it is good to leave the negative behind!

This has to be my Christmas present from my personal Santa--got it via Kickstarter and its been great so far, except for some minor problems with the adapter itself. The cable works great so far and I'm enjoying using it every moment, didn't regret getting the 2m cable version. The original cables that comes with the phones are usually short, I was thinking of swapping to the iPhone but looks like this would be keeping me to team Android for a long time.!

This is a must have for Android users until they fully adopt the USB type C connection.  



It allows you to plug in the microUSB without having to find the right direction, meaning it's actually reversible--similar to Apple's Lightning connection/USB Type C. The reinforced cable feels strong but the adapter doesn't connect fully to the regular MicroUSB slot.

One problem that I've faced though after using the adapter for two days, the connection got dislodged and stuck in my phone's charging port. Refer to the pictures below, took me a bit of force to remove it.




This is a great product and I will still continue using the cable, but shortly I will contact Codistas about this and see if there is a defect with mine and ifdthere will be a remedy for this.

Even if they don't, I still like the idea of a microUSB cable where I can insert easily to charge my smartphones and powerbanks. Thanks to Codistas for making this and it has been really convenient for easy charging. The past few nights of charging my phone in the dark is so much easier now, similar to charging hidden my iPad. 

Do check out Codistas' website as well a I heard that they will be producing it for sale, not just for Kickstarter funders.  Heard that the amount is rather limited so I hope you guys who have Android phones and are jealous of your IOS counterparts--give Codistas Micro Flip USB a try!
