Have you ever felt your USB charging cable was just too long and bulky to take with you? The Swiss Travel Company has the solution.

The Swiss Travel retractable cable line has been designed to simplify and enhance your ability to plug in your phone at home or on the road.

They have designed a cable that is small enough to carry with you, but the cable stretches long enough to accomplish any task.

The cable worked well to charge a Motorola RAZR and Blackberry Curve phone. It does not work to sync data but if you are just looking for a charging cable, it worked great.

USB Charging Solutions

Keeping your cell phone charged is becoming more of a challenge as manufacturers continue to add power draining features. Movies, TV, messaging, bluetooth, cameras, mp3 players, fm radios and more have all been added to cell phones in the last few years. Each of these makes the phone more useful but also drains the power needed to use the phone as a phone. Battery technology has not improved at the same pace the power hungry features have so as a result, phones run out of power sooner. One solution is the USB Charging Combo from Wirexgroup.

The combo features a car charger and pop out travel prongs for use at home or the office. Use with your USB data or charging cable.
