The desire for a reversible USB cable predates even the famous Type C connector. While that new design solves the problem on laptops and desktops, the same cannot be said for mobile devices. That's where MicFlip comes in, the first reversible Micro USB cable on the market, ready to connect on the first try.
The universal connector problem
Let's be honest: the problem users face when connecting cables is not limited to the USB interface. Over the years I've seen inverted PS/2 connectors (mouse in keyboard, keyboard in mouse) or with damaged pins, and the same happened with VGA connectors, although in those cases the risk of damage was even greater. A classic phrase says that the fault is the user's until proven otherwise, however, engineers and designers do not make things easier. As Intel points out in one of its infographics, it is a fact that the USB connector must be turned three times and observed to be inserted correctly. The new Type C was presented as the definitive solution in terms of reversible ports... but what about Micro USB?
MicFlip: the reversible Micro USB cable
At first glance, a Micro USB port conveys the feeling that it can be connected in any position, but nothing is further from the truth than that, and a huge number of users have learned the hard way, tearing and destroying the ports of their mobile devices. The folks at WinnerGear have an alternative for that dilemma with MicFlip, the first reversible Micro USB cable. Aluminum connectors with gold plating to reduce the potential for corrosion, additional nylon protection, and rubber-covered connection points shape this cable compatible with fast charging, and basically every Android device out there.
The MicFlip was an absolute success on Indiegogo, raising more than 1,100 percent of its original goal. Two critical factors for its performance there were price and availability. If you want a MicFlip, you'll only have to pay $20 for it, and if you need a longer length, its two-meter version costs $30. Those who participated in the crowdfunding got access to free global shipping, but something tells me you're still on time. First deliveries in September.
