This is a nice idea but its design and execution is not very well thought out. The magnets are too weak and the cable too stiff, so that the slightest movement of the lap top or anything touching the cable, results in disconnection. It is a pity that there are only three contacts and no control microchip, so that the connector is handed and will only connect one way, unlike the original Magsafe connector. Given that this is the only alternative to plugging in a USB-C connector on the market at present, it is probably worth buying, where there is a risk of your expensive MacBook Pro being pulled over from someone tripping over the power cable.

Yes, this is a decent magnetic breakaway cable which has already saved my MacBook from my kids on a couple of occasions, but one negative comment would be that if you have your machine on a table, the weight of the cable is enough to putt it away from the magnet, so it falls out. Same if you sit it on your lap and you move slightly. Perfect for use on a desk or another flat surface, not great for anything else really.

Although this does work and will probably save your expensive laptop from a fall it isn’t perfect: the fit into the USB C slot of the laptop is poor, easily disconnecting from power without the magnetic break operating, just while you’re keying. Even so, since Apple have abandoned MagSafe, this is the next best thing.

I was used to having a magsafe cable on an old MacBook Pro and it saved me a few times from dragging my Mac off the table! So I was keen to have something to stop me doing the same for my new MacBook. This Griffin cake fits the bill perfectly. It's plenty long enough and it coils up conveniently to fit into a decent laptop bag. The magnet is quite strong but it is quite easy to dislodge it particularly if it is pulled up at an angle. of course it is designed to come away easily so that's not much of a criticism. I like it as it does the trick and it feels robust enough to last a while. Would have liked it in either white or grey. But come on Apple provide one with the machine from the get go.

Does what it says on the tin, but bulky on a 12" Macbook and comes apart too easily. v2 needs stronger magnets
