I tried a lanyard that's also a USB-C cable, and it's my favorite Android gadget


Another weird and wacky USB-C cable that's actually useful.

The concept is exactly what it sounds like — it's a lanyard that can hold your ID badges and access cards like usual, but it also doubles as a 1.5-meter-long braided USB-C cable with metal endcaps. (Image credit: Brady Snyder / Android Central)The lanyard has a somewhat odd design that doubles-back on itself, so you actually have two cords hanging across your neck. I can't count the number of times I've had a fully-charged laptop and a dead phone with no USB-C cable to fill the gap.
