Spixi from New York-based Escargot on Kickstarter is a 2-foot-long retractable charging cable which is housed in a slim and sleek-looking poly-carbonate case and appears similar to a measuring tape. the cable is made up of an eco-friendly thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that is stronger and more durable than polyvinyl chloride, the commonly used material for cables.
Spixi comes in 3 different connector flavors:
- iPhone 5 — 8-pin lightning connector WITH AUTHENTICATION CHIP
- iPhone 4/4S (and previous versions)
- Micro-USB (Android, Blackberry, Windows)
Also, Spixi is slim and will not interfere with the other USB ports on your laptop.
The only probable downside here is that, we have to wait till February of next year for the Spixi to start shipping.
