There was much griping when Apple replaced its old dock connectors with the reversible Lightning cable, but they’ve made life infinitely easier for iOS users. So the MicFlip, the world’s first reversible micro-USB cable, promises to do the same for Android (and other smartphone) users.

Have you ever tried plugging a micro-USB cable into your phone, tablet, e-reader, or other mobile device in the dark of night? You have a 50 percent chance of getting the connector the right side up, but in reality you usually get it wrong 100 percent of the time. Not with the MicFlip. It works either way so every time you attempt to plug in a micro-USB device, it’s guaranteed to work.
