Universal charging standards are coming. Someday you’ll be able to charge whatever device you have with whatever cord happens to be lying around and for the most part get away with it.
That day is not today.
Today you probably deal with a small array of very similar but not-quite-compatible cords and dongles that don’t play nicely with one another and can be kind of a headache to manage.
Today’s deal is, well…also kind of a headache to manage. But ultimately you can probably get it to do what you need it to do on any given day, as opposed to the traditional cord alternatives which mostly boil down to “this fits” or “I’m hosed.”
Don’t be hosed. This fits.
Grab a three-pack and have one anyplace you might need it. Your phone (or tablet or watch or smart hub or fancy pedometer or something) will thank you.
