MicFlip Update, Review Units Shipping!

[DroidModderX]

​

MicFlip is the first ever reversible micro usb cable. It was fully crowd sourced via Indiegogo and is just about ready to start shipping out to consumers. I just received an email from their PR department, and they are preparing to ship out test units. As soon as I get one I'll let you know my thoughts on it. In the email they also made a disappointing announcement.

Please notice , after many tests we've done to the MicFlip we noticed that the Type-A always lose connectivity so we decided to use normal Type-A plug.

That is a pretty vague statement. I am not sure if they mean the PC end or the cell phone end will be normal Type-A. If they mean the cell phone end has to be normal Type-A then this product is dead in the water. It would really be a shame if this is true. Their PR department has not returned my email asking for clarification. I will update this post as soon as they do.

UPDATE: Well that was quick. They got back to me to let me know the PC end will be a regular Type-A connector. The Phone end will still be reversible.

looking at the PC plug it makes sense, at mine stays plugged in 90% of the time anyways so that's a non-issue. I'm excited to see how well this will work.

You gonna run out and buy the first phone with type-c? Or keep your current phone for a while

I'm not even going to waste your time and act like I'm not buying the next "flagship" device.
I really like my N6 but it looks like the next round of devices are going to have a spec or two that I want. Not that I really care about type C it just looks like they all happen to have it.

I couldn't agree more. I love my Nexus 6 but man the Note 5 sure looks enticing. When it launches I'll know for sure if I swap it or to another phone that is coming out then.

I expect next year's devices to have type C connectors and eSims.
