What’s up for grabs today?

Today I have a 2-in-1 Retractable USB-to-Dock Connector cable for your iPhone or iPod from Orion Gadgets.

Cable1 (1)

The Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable eliminates the need to carry the Apple sync cable, as the 2-in-1 design both charges and syncs your iPhone/iPod. Since the cable is retractable, you are left with no messy wires hanging around. The cable is extremely light weight, compact, extends to 3 feet and is a great cord management tool. The cable can be used with the Apple USB charger, any computer USB port or any other USB charger.

Cable1

The 2-in-1 retractable cable is available on the Orion Gadgets online store for $14.00, but today you can get it for FREE!

Where will you use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable?

  • stuhFAN
    I have to use my old crappy 2nd-gen ipod cable to charge my phone at work, so having this little retractable unit will be handy!!!
  • NUFC
    I'd love this cable to use in my car. When I currently receive a call in my car I can't reach my iPhone and have to unplug it. This cable would help me SOOOOO MUCH!!
  • Alisa
    At my office. It'll be easy to store stince it's retractable.
  • protecttheweak
    I will use it to defend GamingSV's brother from USB cable tyranny!!
  • i'd use it when travelling for work, of course!
  • jimbeam13
    Hey,

    Firstly... always look forward to my daily CDN iPhone news. As for the 2 in 1, this would be extremely useful for me at work as I'm constantly trying to dump as many cables as I can off of my work station.

    Cheers.
  • estebancito
    The Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 cable will be my "on the go" cable. I'm tired of always having my cumbersome Apple cable around, needing to carry it where I go when my battery is at less than 100%. The 2-in-1 would go in my bag, which I carry everywhere, and would therefore be there to bail me out when an urgent need to plug in arises.

    Thank you
  • kvn
    i will use it right here with my 24 inch iMac. plus i have two half broken docking cables for my iphone anyways. (this is because my desk is cluttered and the long cable keeps bending).
  • Anthony
    Would use it in my room by my bed to charge my phone over night, then retract it out of the way during the day.
  • tiramisu1
    I will use it at home. It would be handy to not have cords tangled all over the place.
  • ilya1
    I will use it a work so that I don't have to bring my one cable back and forth
  • Osiris
    I will use it mostly at home.
  • willhayward
    Hello, I would use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable along with my laptop. Having cords able to wind up is so convenient when you are on the go or traveling.
  • Momin
    use in the car.
  • I would use both at home and away (it's nice and portable) because not only would I use it to charge my iPhone, I'd also use it for personal defense (see "From Russia With Love") :)
  • Mark
    i would use this cable to carry around with me on campus, so that i can tether and sync my iphone anywhere with my laptop without carrying the messy Apple cord with me. Plus, i can use the apple cord for my brand-spankin' new Griffin Aircurve speaker on my bedside table for my alarm.
  • OmegaZeroX
    Personaly I take the bus to work, so this would replace the stock cable I carry to use with the backup battery i carry with me. cause Civilization Revolution is a good way to kill time and battery life on my 2 hour bus ride to and from work.
  • Whizard
    Give one to a friend and keep one for my self, so there would no way to run out of juice on 3G speeds :-)
  • Look at all these contest entries--awesome! Who would've though a retractable cable would generate so much attention! :)
  • andrewboarder
    This would defiantly come in handy when I am traveling. Less cables cluttering my stuff!
  • mike3388
    I would use it all the time at home and on the road!
  • helen555
    I would use it when travelling.
  • norm
    the charger will be used at work for the usual purpose of saving hassle from extra length cable
  • skim11

  • rubayed
    I will use it to charge my iPhone from my desktop. It will b really handy, since it's placed in a corner where it's very difficult to reach for the USB port.
  • sehgal
    I will use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable after transporting myself into the future.
  • I think I just broke my iPhone 3G usb charger! This will be a great time to win this.
  • H Ross Patrick
    I'll use it at work! So I can play my music rather then listen to the radio.
  • elducker
    I'd use the cable at home...the cable that came with my iPhone last year is on it's last legs and winning this contest would save my from buying another one!
  • flex260
    I can finally have a charger on my side of the bed!!! My wife says she has priority!
  • Kup99
    This would be awesome for trips!
  • pawan11
    Definately use it at work. Just bought the iphone 3gs and it's too much of a hassle to carry the stock cable back and forth from home to work. Looks nice and compact, no cord clutter : ).
  • bullionman
    I would use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable in my car. I have a Venturi Mini Bluetooth hands-free device in my car, which has a USB charging port on it. The retractable feature on this cable looks perfect.
  • Shogun308
    With this cable..i can keep it in the office so I don't have to carry the cable that comes with the iphone to work everyday! Not to mention the oem cable is not long enough!
  • atomicz
    I would use it in car, I hate having loose cables hanging all over the place.
  • danmeades
    wow I would love to win that!! I would use it at work for sure!
    great site, keep it up,
    Dan
  • LCISTech
    Now that I have a job that takes me on the road more often, this would help cut down on some space in my laptop bag.

    This was sent from my iPhone.
  • CMfly
    I'd use it where ever I need to charge my iPhone... Which would probably be at work..
  • I would use this everywhere!!!
  • rorypiper
    I like contests!

    I could definitely use this! With my job, I'm on the road all day. If I want to do some blog writing, and need some screem shots from my iPhone, I could use this.

    Enter me!
  • William
    With the Orion cable, I can leave one at home...and it's lot cheaper than getting the Apple cable !!!
  • Singx2
    I would use it in the car with a car adaptor, nothing worst then keeping a cable in the car (especially a white one)....mine is like brown now from ppl stepping on it...
  • belami
    This giveaway is perfect!! I've been looking to buy an extra cable for my iPhone for some time now. And the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 cable is RETRACTABLE. This just sweetens the deal.

    I would use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable in my car (hooked up to my USB car charger) and keep it with me in my bag while I'm at school so that I can always charge my iPhone while sitting at a computer!!

    And with the money I save if I win the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable free from this contest, I'm going to dine out at Swiss Chalet!! I love Rotisserie chicken (Canadian Style, eh!!)
  • wilme
    I'd use this at work. It's easy to carry around, so I can bring it along with me.
  • In class, in bus, at the airport, in the washroom.. anywhere n everywhere :D
  • dennyc
    I'll use it in my car. Currently use the original cable but since I'm too lazy to unplug it when I'm not using it, it just hangs out there - being bright white doesn't help it blend into the black interior!
  • Stef
    That nice cable would allow me to finally be able to plug my iPhone at work to have enough power all day long to use my Skype account (since Skype is my phone for work right now) all while listening to my favorite music while working!
  • Caillou
    I will use it everywhere ! Especially when my iPhone will be out of reach... click - retract cable - iphone moves in. Neat (if the spring is strong enough)! ;-)
  • This thing is pretty handy looking. If I had this I could throw away my stock connector that came with the phone and then cracked a year later. Then my wife wouldn't yell at me anymore for stealing hers. Although with that snazz looking thing It'll prob. end up being me yelling at her for taking mine lol. I could also get into the fact that tomorrow is my birthday so to get a sweet hook up (that actually is a sweet "hook up" lol) would be....sweet XD
  • For travelling! Much easier and cleaner solution than coiling up the Apple cord. Nice!
  • Arcsvibe
    I would use this cool gadget at work. Using my work G4 laptop and my iPhone I would be the envy of the office :)
  • TimC
    I would probably travel with this thing since it's nice and compact. Otherwise, it will stay at work since I use my iPhone so heavily. Cheers.
  • slvnkn
    I would be using this in my car along w/ my USB car charger.
  • lisa29
    I would use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable mostly at home. However, I do travel every second weekend and so it would also be useful to take with me... no more cable mess!
  • livininvic
    I'll use it everywhere. Indiana Jones style...

    My iPhone will become a deadly weapon.
  • genepackwood
    I shall use it in my comfy chair in the corner where the sun warms my feet.
    I shall use it in the hall.
    I could use it for my iPhone even when I'm at the mall.
  • bringer666
    Retractable Cable will end up in my laptop bag for use when traveling.
  • unlogik
    Where will you use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable?

    I'll use it everywhere I was using my apple usb cable— until it split and stopped working :(
  • dynomity
    It'd be nice to win this since it would eliminate some clutter in my back pack. I carry a full pack with me to work everyday filled with gym stuff, snacks, lunch and a portable drive, USB sticks and iphone accessories. This cable would take up less room and be easier to store. I've had a similar one for ethernet in the past and found it really handy. I know this one would be very useful at work, in the car and when visiting friends!
  • rxin
    I will use it mostly for travel. Very handy especially on flights.
  • Josh
    This would be perfect to use when travelling.
  • Brian
    I would use this cable at work to keep my desk nice and tidy.
  • Bojamijams
    I would use this thing in my car, so that I can charge my iphone on long trips but not have extra few feet of wire that usually get caught on something else in the car due to all that extra length. With this, I could keep it just the length I need, straight down from the iphone to charger.
  • Harry86
    OHhh, I would most deff use this at work. As of now I take my regular cord to work....and I have looped the cable around its self to make it shorter and more accessible to take around with me. This cable would make life a little easier.
  • GamingSV
    I will use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable at home so that i can strangle my brother and charge my iphone at the same time! Not very nice but i do want to strangle my brother sometimes.
