A few weeks ago we wrote about a cool new Lightning connector for new iPhones iPad Minis that elegantly integrates a built-in microUSB jack. The project is currently being crowd funded at Indiegogo and at the time we published the article the lowest contribution that would put one of these ingenious cables in your hands was $25.
The guys at Orobis contacted me yesterday to inform us that as a result of the recent positive media coverage, they have some support from the manufacturer to be able to make a special offer. Right now, the team is offering 1,000 Orobis Transform cables for only $18, normally a $29.99 retail value each. Plus free shipping in the US.
Upon the news I immediately snatched up two cables. As someone who carries around an iPad Mini, Samsung Galaxy phone, and Sony eReader, I appreciate the ability to use one cable for all my devices. Especially when traveling, it seems I always forget at least one adapter at home when I go on the road. Even the name is cool: Orobis, which is derived from the Greek Ouroboros, a snake which eats its own tail.
For the full story on Orobis, you can check out our original article: Orobis Transform – Lightning And MicroUSB Connector.
If you’re ready to support the project and be one of the first to get your hands on one of these brilliantly designed cables, just head on over to the Indiegogo campaign page:
