Griffin - Magnetic Power Cable - Black

I've been using this charging cable for a week now. The quality of wire it self is sturdy and good. Its thicker than the genuine apple charging cable that comes with the laptop. I miss the light indicator though that was present on magsafe. I've noticed a lot of reviewers commented on magnet being weak. I disagree. Magnet is actually pretty strong. the problem lies in the weight of the wire. If you were to use the laptop placed on a desk or table with no movement of the macbook itself, magnet is going to work perfectly with no complains. but if you're someone who moves around a lot while using your mac or if you put your mac on your lap, this magnet wont work for you. Over all, i'm pretty satisfied with my purchase. its the best alternate so far for Magsafe and helps keep our Macbooks safe if someone trips over the charging cable.

Gives your new MacBook, MacBook Pro or Air (2016 with thunderbolt ports) MagSafe functionality that came on the older MacBooks and Pros. The first day I bought it, I accidentally kicked the cord and the brake-safe technology worked perfectly. The cord broke cleanly at the magnetic connection and saved my new MacBook Pro from certain death. This might be some of the best money you will ever spend on your Apple laptop. (The Wintel world wishes they had this technology for their laptops). Siskel and Ebert two thumbs up!!!!

This is a good improvement over a standard usb-c charger cable. Providing some protection from dragging your device off the desk. Has saved me several times when I tripped on the cable, works as intended the magnetic connection separates rather than dragging the laptop to the floor. Would be 5 stars but reminds me of the last generation Apple Magsafe chargers which separate at the slightest bump. Only time this was an issue was when I was using it on my couch. I still recommend this product, as it will save your laptop.

I purchased this cause I didn't like the USB c that came with my pro 2016 but ran into an issue cause the cable would not work with my snap in case that was made by speck. If a revision came out that was smaller so it would work with cases I will rebuy. But I had to return this one.

This is a must have accessory if you have a young family. This has already saved my new MacBook twice since I bought it a month ago. The cord is a bit stiff but the magnet release works perfectly. I wish it were a little more low profile and made by apple but overall this thing is amazing!

This item has so much potential, it did not live up to its hype. I was disappointed. Apple does not use the magnetic power cable anymore so I purchased this one but I was disappointed.

I love the idea of having the magnetic charger for my MacBook instead of the charger that comes with the computer but the magnet isn't very strong and easily falls out.

Pros: feels solid, looks high end, works exactly as expected, excellent durability to cable, and USB-C connector VERY tightly snapped into the MacBook Pro power block. Cons: leaving magnet side "stub" plugged into MacBook isn't ideal for aesthetics and poses risk of being banged, perhaps damaging USB-C female connector; no little light to indicate charging.
