Perfect for my needs!!!

Works well

User: Aaron Adler, Sep 22, 2011

Very happy with this item. My computers developed trouble recognizing my Palm Pre Plus as a USB drive using the cable that came with the phone. With this cable, the USB drive recognition now works fine.

User: G Y, Jul 13, 2011

Awesome

User: Rachel D, Apr 21, 2011

Pros: Retractable cable
Cons: None

Love this thing! I have used them for every phone Ive had & they travel well in my purse so I am never without a charger.

Great product!

I love this product. Perfect for the office and on the go!

sync cord

User: Gail Reznik, Nov 23, 2010

I love not having a cord draped all over everything to trip on or crush with a chair. Cord stays neat.

Great Product

User: S McCoid, Nov 22, 2010

Pros: Great for Travel or Home
Cons: none

This product does just what I need, eliminate long cords laying on my nitestand next to my bed when I charge my phone at night.

Neat and compact

User: R. Wm. Lowenstein, Oct 18, 2010

Pros: Much nicer than the heavy long cable for the car or office
Cons: If you do not let it snap back it tangles

After figuring out how to let it snap back to the closed position by holding the end, then a little pull and letting go of the end, I recommend it.

Neat Cables

User: John Antill, Jul 13, 2010

Pros: cable length is as long as a person needs it
Cons: cable connectors need to be reinforced to avoid cable pull out

It is a great way to keep your desk uncluttered or as an addition to a USB cable stack. No matter what it will help keep you cables neat and manageable.

Does the job!

User: Dan Ramirez, Feb 14, 2010

Pros: Easily pocketable. Seems to charge faster than Palms stock USB cord.
Cons: Cord could be longer. Spindle can be finnicky retracting cord.

This is a great choice for someone looking for a quick and convenient charging solution for their webOS device. I own two of these retractable cords and they work well. I also owned the Seidio brand (but lost it)... The latter was smoother when retracting but also had a tendency to retract the cable when I DIDNT want it to. Either way, you cant go wrong with either choice.

Micro USB retractable sync & charge

User: Josh Barry, Jul 8, 2009

Pros: Fits touchstone and works great
Cons: -

Fits into the touchstone and with a few accesories can have it in your car....

You can buy the Palm car charger, with the USB connector from Precentral store and buy this and you have your touchstone working in your car, easy and cheap with these items!!

survey response micro-usb cable

User: Mark Roberts, Nov 30, 2011

Pros: arrived as described
Cons: -

very satisfied with quality and with price. Would have preferred that the device had a button release to retract the cords but did not think to look when I orderd. I will shop with you again, for sure.

Doesnt Tangle

User: Juli DeForest, Mar 21, 2011

I love this retractable cord. It reduces my pile of cables, which I have a million, and it doesnt tangle and twist in the core. Ive had other retractabe cords, and they get bent and twisted and they were unusable. I have one of thee for work and one for the car. Really can not beat the resiliency on these.

travel cord

User: jenn obie, Jan 5, 2011

I bought this for travelling. I dont have a messy cord that comes unravelled. Its great, but occassionally get stuck and doesnt retract. Overall it fits its purpose and I would recommend to buy.

gets the job done

User: Matt Reed, Jan 4, 2011

Pros: light, compact, good value
Cons: sometimes slow to retract

Only used this for a week so far, but for the price, these get the job done well. These are not designed to be super sturdy - only for travel and quick use. the spring load mechanism can be slow to retract sometimes, but not a big deal, at least yet.

Please disregard last opinion

User: Steve Y, Oct 29, 2009

Apparently I was a bit hasty in posting my initial opinion. I compared the shape of the plug on the Palm cable to that of this cable and they are identical. It took a rather forceful push to get it plugged into the phone the first time, but now it works fine.

cheap but functional

User: kyle rolfe, Nov 29, 2009

Pros: works as advertized, compact
Cons: cheaply made

It seems to be working fine, but the plastic is thin, the spring loaded operation seems a little flimsy, and Im cautiously optimistic that it will stand the test of time.

Hard to retract

User: Tim Masterson, Aug 21, 2009

This little guy seems to work well enough. I havent quite gotten the hang of retracting it. I either dont pull it hard enough to get it to retract, or I pull it too hard, causing it to snap back quickly and get slightly tangled. Not a problem really, but it takes a little more time to retract than I would like, since it usually takes a couple attempts to get it right.

loved it

User: glock meister, Jan 3, 2011

Pros: portability and size
Cons: wired frayed after 9 months

was great before the wire frayed and stopped charging my phone

dont waste your money

User: g c, Nov 30, 2008

problems, problems. the retracting cable didnt stay extended. worked inconsistently with the both wall plug and the pc usb. the little hooks that are supposed to keep the micro usb firmly connected to the treo dont do their job. tossed it in the trash...

and oh by the way, the claim that the OEM cable that comes with the treo pro doesnt do synch AND charge via pc usb....BOGUS

Does not work with a Pearl 9100

User: John Kramer, Sep 30, 2011

Pros: cool concept
Cons: computer doesnt recognize the Pearl when I connect via this cord

When I use it to connect to the computer, the computer searches for drivers (and cant find them). When I use the factory cable that came with the Pearl in the same USB slot, all works well. I have a useless cord.

This cable is junk

User: Robert Dieon, Jul 14, 2011

I purchased this last week and today it stopped working. Bad quality look elsewhere.

Not worth a cent!

User: Jannine Gray, Nov 29, 2009

Pros: Great idea
Cons: Hasnt worked from the time I opened the package

This little thing is a fabulous idea... too bad thats all it is! From the first moment I hooked it up to my phone and plugged it into my computer it looked like it was charging but didnt and it never initiated the option to sync! Im wondering if maybe they sent me a different product than you all got??? Grrrrr!

doesnt work

User: Sean Duke-Crocker, Oct 7, 2009

Pros: retractable
Cons: doesnt work

Broke after like 2 weeks, stopped working to connect my computer to my pre. Save your money and buy the palm cable.
