Placed my order for the Multifunction 3-in-1 Retractable Charging Adapter – Black from Deal Extreme on the 4th February 2012 and it arrived in my mailbox on the 5th March 2012, it took exactly a month for it to reach my home. Paid USD$5 for it and with Deal Extreme, shipping is always free.

This 3-in-1 Retractable Charging Cable is similar to the Innergie Magic Cable – Multi-Tip USB Cable which I bought last month but it cost 50% lesser and it has support for Apple’s 30-pin connector.

I am pretty impressed with the build quality of this cable, I got a couple of cheap iPhone USB cables from Deal Extreme and the build quality has always been disappointing. The common problem is that the 30-pin cable fits into the 30-pin dock connector too tightly. But with this cable, it fits almost perfect.

Previously, I bought a similar retractable cable from Deal Extreme, however because each of the port is located on one side of the square and each side of the square took up too much space, I am unable to connect the cable directly to my Canon 50D DSLR as the location of the Mini USB port is not on the surface due to the cover.

Got the Retractable USB to iPhone/iPod/Mini USB/Micro USB Data & Charging Cable (70CM-Length) from Deal Extreme for USD$7.20. I saw the same cable selling for SGD$29.90 at Challenger!

Got the Network Retractable Cable for USD$1.81 from Deal Extreme as well.

Ordered my MicroSIM cutter from Deal Extreme for USD$20.00, but now the price has dropped to USD$17.43. In case you are unfamiler with Deal Extreme, the price stated includes free shipping. Placed my order on the 11th July 2010 and got it delivered to me on the 22nd July 2010. Took about 11 days before it reaches my house. I think it is because of supplier’s stock issue as when I check the status, it was stuck at “Waiting For Supplier” for a few days.

Align The Slanted Edge

Using the MicroSIM cutter is pretty straight forward, just place your SIM card into the slot and ensure that the slanted edge matches and press the cutter handle down real hard!

Finally, SingTel now support MicroSIM cards in their MultiSIM plans, however the price is 2x more expensive the normal SIM cards and from the description on the VAS page under “Others” tab, it was mentioned that then can be only 1 MicroSIM card in any combination of MultiSIM.

So if you got 4 SIM cards, only 1 of them can be MicroSIM and the other 3 is normal SIM. Perhaps it is due to the initial hight stock demand. But I believed that it will change eventually once the dust has settle.

But the justification of the price for just the 1 MicroSIM card is totally not worth it. I rather get the normal MultiSIM which cost only $5.35 monthly and get a MicroSIM card cutter for USD$17.43 (including shipping) from Deal Extreme to cut it than pay $16.05 every month for it.
