This is what I got-- took an eternity to get to me, but it works well enough. I wrap my cables. I had my Macbook Pro for two years, abused it, charger was fine. I sold it with the Macbook when I moved back Stateside after living abroad.
My next charger broke, because my kitten decided it made a great teething chew. Cha-ching. $80. I noticed a bit of wear, so I got the dinky plastic protectors. They seem to be working well. I use it on my lightning cable, too.
- Gracana 11y agoHow does that not just move the point of strain further down the cable? It looks like a rigid extension of the strain relief boot.
- Sakiina_ 11y agoIt is fairly rigid, but there's some flex. It just seems to make it so there's not such a sharp "curve", if you will, if you wrap the cable, at the end, where it seems to fray the most, and where I noticed the most wear.
- tylerpachal 11y agoMy solution is to pop the spring out of a pen, and wrap the spring around the end of the cable. It achieves the same thing: adds support while still being flexible.
- ericd 11y agoAs another option, white sugru works very well, and lets you taper down the amount to spread the stress over a larger area.
