limb.al USB Cable
The limb.al USB Cable was the 10th Kickstarter project I backed, and the one delayed longest. I backed it in May 2012, due to ship that September. After delays, I finally got it on 1st August 2013, and regretted it.
USB cables, adapters, and accessories across the connector’s many forms.

I'd eyed the Griffin PowerDock 5 ever since it was announced in January 2013, though it only launched in July. It retails for US$99 directly from Griffin's website, and I doubt it'll reach Singapore soon. Thankfully, Griffin ships directly there.
I bought the 4A AC Power Adapter 6-Port USB Travel Charger from TrendsMobile at Funan for S$29.90. Its 4A output is shared across all six USB ports, and I wish it specified the maximum per port. Still, it's handy.
Launched on 19th April 2013, the SanDisk Cruzer Orbit USB Flash Drive features a 360-degree swivel cover and weighs just 4g, with a ring hole for your key chain. Its only downside is USB 2.0, to keep the price low.
I bought the Apple Lightning to USB Cable from Multimedia Integrated at Funan for S$28, and they still had stock when I last checked. The cable is hard to find, sold out almost everywhere as everyone grabs a spare.
I bought the Innergie 10W Dual USB Auto Adapter from VivoCity's Challenger for S$29, or S$26.10 with member's price. It's a two-port car USB charger outputting 2.1A, enough for an iPad. Essentially a two-port Griffin PowerJolt Micro, it looks nicer.
I ordered the Apple USB SuperDrive for S$98 alongside the Thunderbolt to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter. My only reason was that my brother and Li Xiang are getting a MacBook Air and MacBook Pro soon, so I'd grab a drive.
I got the Apple USB Ethernet Adapter for S$35.51, down from S$38, at iStudio in Changi Airport Terminal 3 on my way to Malaysia for my birthday. Since the MacBook Air has no Ethernet port for the sake of slimness.
I first spotted the Innergie Magic Cable, a 3-in-1 retractable USB cable, at Challenger in VivoCity last year, but it was out of stock, so I settled for a Deal Extreme equivalent. On holiday in Thailand, I finally found it.
The Innergie USB Charger Duo Charging Kit (Home) sells at Challenger for S$50, or S$45 after a 10% member's discount, and I got mine from VivoCity's Challenger. There are two versions, home and car, with the car kit slightly lower.
The Innergie Magic Cable Trio and Duo are Innergie's priciest USB cables, each retailing for S$29 at Challenger, or S$26.10 with a 10% member's discount. I went for the Trio, which has three tips, Mini USB, Micro USB, and Apple.
I bought the Innergie Magic Cable Multi-Tip USB Cable from Plaza Singapura's Challenger for S$13, or S$11.70 with a 10% member's discount. I'd wanted to try Innergie, known for its well-designed if pricey gear, famous for its universal laptop adapters.
With more gadgets come messy wires and crowded power sockets. I'd eyed Bluelounge's Refresh station for days but it's hard to find here, stocked only at EpiCentre Ion Orchard, so I settled on the Konnext SynCharger.
The Desk Genie Non-Slip Charging Desk Stand holds your phone while it charges, and doubles as an 8-in-1 memory card reader and a two-port USB hub. The package bundles the stand with eight different charging connectors and a charging cable.
On a whim, I emailed Ivy from SingTel to ask about buying the SingTel Huawei E180 modem at a discount. To my surprise, SingTel gave it to me free. Thank you, Ivy, and thank you, SingTel! It's just arrived.
