G+_Oliver Jackson Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Backing this on kickstarter? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1041610927/znaps-the-9-magnetic-adapter-for-your-mobile-devic It seems like a really good product, micro USB, apples charger and even USB type C also. I might pick up a couple. I don't know if it would bother me though as I hold my phone in a rather peculiar way, with my little finger resting the bottom of the phone. Anyway, what are your thoughts on this product worth backing ? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1041610927/znaps-the-9-magnetic-adapter-for-your-mobile-devic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 So its like the magsafe on a macbook, but for USB-C. That's cool! (Though I hope a better design then Apple's. Theirs ha the tendency to get bits stuck and since its recessed its a bugger to remove them. Wonder how long before the Apple files alawsuit ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Oliver Jackson Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Eddie Foy I think there were products on ebay that did a similar thing before this product, but it hasn't seen the widespread attention that this product has. It would be a dick move if apple start going after them, seem like apple want to stifle the competition as much as possible. It doesn't really affect them so I don't see why they would go after them. It just seems like half of the judges have no idea when it comes to tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Eddie Foy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Apple never licensed the magsafe to 3rd parties. They are a strange bunch. But I'll buy a couple of these when they come out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Oliver Jackson Posted August 4, 2015 Author Share Posted August 4, 2015 Eddie Foy What they own the patent on that? seems rather silly to me. I think I'm going to wait too, they could be total garbage, wait for the reviews, I know too many people that have been burned on kickstarter before.

G+_Eddie Foy Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 People patent software. The patent office is kinda out of control. They pretty much grant a on anything as long as you pay the $$. Apple won a law suite with Cisco over the iOS name. Cisco had it for years before; the name of their OS in switches and routers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Perry Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 if it works well it would solve my problem of having to replace my wife's cord for her iPhone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Ben Yanke Posted August 9, 2015 Share Posted August 9, 2015 It looks awesome...but the problem is having to buy one for every device's jack and every cord in the house to be usable. It ended up being $100 for me to do it all. Nope.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
