Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter
The Apple USB-C to Lightning Adapter retails for S$45, though a Singtel voucher brought mine down to S$30. It lets you connect Lightning accessories to a USB-C device such as the iPhone 15 Pro Max.

Adapters of every kind, from USB-C dongles to world travel plugs.
Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter
The Ugreen USB-A to USB-C Adapter, S$7.49 on Lazada, converts a USB-C cable into a USB-A one. It supports QC3 charging and 5Gbps transfer, handy for devices that don't accept USB Power Delivery.
Passport III – 65W Travel Adapter
A fan of Zendure's Passport travel adapters, I own nearly the whole range. When Zendure launched the Passport III on Kickstarter in February 2022, I backed it, pledging US$35 for the Super Early Bird 65W adapter.
Ugreen USB-C to USB-A Adapter
I bought the Ugreen USB-C to USB-A Adapter on Lazada's 8/8 sale for S$3.99, below its S$5.39 retail. This USB 3.1 Gen 1 OTG adapter hits 5Gbps and comes with a keychain strap.
Energea TravelWorld Adapter PD
The Energea TravelWorld Adapter PD is the brand's latest travel adapter, retailing for S$49. It outputs 42W, with a USB-C PD/QC 3.0 port and USB-A ports, plus a universal socket and a carrying case.
Passport Go
The Passport Go is my third Zendure Passport travel adapter, after the Passport and Passport Pro. Like its predecessors, it began on Kickstarter, raising US$271,092 from 5,323 backers, and shipped to me in September 2019.
Passport Pro – The Ultimate Global Travel Adapter
Zendure returns with the Passport Pro, an upgraded version of the original Passport. Billed as the world's first resettable grounded travel adapter with USB-C Power Delivery, it ran on Kickstarter, raising US$124,851 from 2,817 backers.
Flip World Add-On
The Flip World Add-On retails for US$9.99 and includes US/AU and EU plug add-ons, compatible with the Flip Duo, Quad, and Power. I bought it to use with my Flip Quad, the prongs rotating to fit various regions.
Anker Micro USB to USB C Adapter
I bought the Anker Micro USB to USB-C Adapter from Amazon for US$6.99, a two-pack working out to US$3 each. It ships directly to Singapore. I needed them to keep using my spare Micro-USB cables with USB-C power banks.
Passport – Global Travel Adapter
Passport is Zendure's world-first fail-safe global travel adapter. Its Kickstarter, launched in June 2017, raised US$217,053 from 4,887 backers. It shipped to me that November. The standout feature is an auto-resetting fuse to protect your devices.
Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual DisplayPort Adapter
Wanting to drive two external displays from a single port, I learned USB-C allows only one display per port. The answer was Thunderbolt 3, so I bought the Cable Matters Thunderbolt 3 to Dual 4K DisplayPort Adapter.
USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter
I bought this brandless USB-C to Mini DisplayPort Adapter from Lazada for S$12.96 with free slow shipping. It's an OEM product from 1buycart in Shenzhen, which has solid ratings averaging 4.4 stars, a cheaper alternative to Amazon's options.
Leplus USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Adapter
I bought the Leplus USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Adapter from Yodobashi Sapporo. Leplus, a brand by MSSolutions Japan, is relatively unknown, so it's cheap; I paid about S$11 after a tax-free discount.
nonda USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Mini Adapter
I bought the nonda USB-C to USB-A 3.0 Mini Adapter from Amazon for US$9.99. Billed as the world's smallest USB-C adapter, it qualifies for free AmazonGlobal shipping above US$125, which I consolidated through my US freight forwarder HopShopGo.
Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter
I found an unopened Apple Mini DisplayPort to VGA Adapter in my drawer and decided to write it up. It retails for S$38, a price unchanged after all these years; the Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter costs the same.
Linksys WUSB6100M Max-Stream AC600 MU-MIMO USB Adapter
The Linksys WUSB6100M Max-Stream AC600 USB Adapter is billed as the world's first MU-MIMO-enabled adapter, launched in Singapore in August 2016 at S$129. It connects a PC to wireless-AC and MU-MIMO networks, though there's no Mac driver available.
Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter
The Apple Lightning to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter retails for S$14, though most authorised resellers were out of stock; I grabbed the last two from iStudio Paragon. The build feels fragile, with a thin, breakable cable.
OnePlus Type-C Cable 150cm + OnePlus USB Type-C Adapter
The OnePlus Type-C Cable 150cm and USB Type-C Adapter bundle retails for S$23 on Lazada, a saving over buying the S$17 cable and S$14 adapter separately. The OnePlus cable is easily one of the nicest-looking USB-C cables around.
Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter Review
At S$110 in Singapore, the Microsoft Wireless Display Adapter is easily mistaken for Microsoft's take on Google's Chromecast, but the two are quite different. I'm puzzled why Microsoft prices it at US$59.95 when the cheaper Chromecast undercuts it so heavily.
Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter
I took my old Apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI Adapter to the office, so I needed another for home. I picked one up at VivoCity's Infinite for S$38, surprisingly absent from Challenger, which only stocks the VGA version.
McKAL Airplane Audio Adapter
I bought the McKAL Airplane Audio Adapter from the new Challenger at Bugis Junction for S$6.90, or S$5.90 with member's price. Now I can finally use my own earphones for in-flight entertainment, and keep watching 10 to 15 minutes longer.
Flybridge – iPhone/iPad Lightning Dock Adapter
I was an early backer of Flybridge, pledging on 29th December 2012. It funded on 1st February 2013, raising US$19,365 against a US$15,000 goal. As an early backer, I got each for US$10, so I bought two, plus US$10 shipping.
