Here is something that is innovative, practical and useful. It is a lighting cable and Micro USB hybrid cable made by ROMOSS. The materials are made from science; chrome alloy and thermo plastic elastomer. It can charge apple products (except iPad) and any device that has micro USB slots. It also has a tangle free cord design to make sure it will not tangle during storing. The main connection is not a slot design, it is a male connection and it is quite unique. The cable is now available in 1 meter length.
I love items likes these because it serves a dual purpose. It is a iPhone cable and a micro USB cable at the same time. The price is reasonable too!. I like to see more brands do something like this so it can reduce additional cord and waste.
