A 10 Foot USB Cable Will Change Your Life

DAILY DESIRED

 Casey Chan

Here's one thing that you can buy for five bucks that'll make your life instantly better: a 10-foot long USB extension cable. I swear—this is not hyperbole here—buying one of these cords will change your smartphone using habits as much as buying a new iPhone 5 would, for a fraction of the price.

Yeah. It's just a freaking USB cable. They're not supposed to be that important. But oh they are—you connect to it every single night! The USB cables that come pre-packaged with your iPhone or Android phone? They're too short. If your bed isn't right next to an outlet, you probably can't use your phone on your bed while charging. If you're in a hotel room, the phone is probably left on the floor across the room. It's an annoying little problem that most people just accept because it's the cable that the phone came with. Imagine if people all used little, tiny toothbrushes the size of your pinky with bristles as short as hangnails because that's what came for free with toothpaste. That would be silly, right? You don't have to be those people. Go bigger.

Getting a 10 foot USB extension cable (if you have an Android phone I'd suggest just getting thestraight 10 foot micro USB cable) extends your phone's charging cable so, so much, It allows you to charge your phone while you dance around the room. It allows you to never worry about accidentally prying the outlet open because you have a lot more slack. You can do anything you want because the leash is longer. You have a lot more freedom. Trust me, it's 5 bucks. It's totally worth your money.

Previously, I had a 10 foot long 30-pin cable but now that the iPhone 5 has switched to the Lightning adapter, I needed a new long ass cable. And though I was waiting for Monoprice or someone to make a reasonably priced long ass Lightning cable, it looks like it's going to take a lot longer than we thought to get third party Lightning cables. So the extension cable is a solid—and completely affordable—stopgap solution. I have THIRTEEN FEET of charging cable now. Sure, it's a little inelegant but it's the most practical thing I own and probably the best 5 bucks I spent in the past year. Trust me. You use this every day.

Small on the surface, big on the inside

With the LaCie PetiteKey, compact design meets solid data protection and capacity. The key-shaped design is back – now even more functional and memorable than ever before. Best of all, the PetiteKey's 8GB, 16GB, and 32GB models allow you to fit an enormous amount of data in a small flash drive.

Solid construction

When it comes to accidental data loss with external drives, one of the biggest killers is water damage. Splashes, spills, and deep dives into puddles can mean the end for many thumb drives – but not the mighty PetiteKey. The PetiteKey is resistant to splashes and spills – but most impressive, its 100-meter waterproof design means you'll never have to worry about accidentally leaving your keys in your pants on laundry day. Also, its connector is scratch-resistant, meaning you'll never have to worry about your keys damaging the thumb drive while they're sliding around in your pocket.

Software secure

The LaCie PetiteKey comes with LaCie Private-Public software, which helps to keep your data safe with AES 256-bit encryption and password protection. Create a password-protected area on your thumb drive and store all of your confidential information for maximum security.

Secure cloud storage

LaCie makes it easy to integrate secure cloud storage from Wuala into the PetiteKey, making storing and sharing your files, photos, or videos easier than ever. You get a year of one-to-one storage ratio with Wuala (your 16GB PetiteKey will come with 16GB of Wuala Secure Cloud Storage, for example), allowing you to back up your key's contents or double your storage capacity. Even access your files on the go with the Wuala Mobile App.
