August iPhone Accessory Giveaway!
*cue theme music*
THAT’S RIGHT! It’s time for another giveaway!
For those that do not know what this giveaway is about, this is what you need to know.
It is a new segment that will:
- Last 24 hours
- Only happen a couple of times a month (maybe less or maybe more)
- Be extremely easy to win
- Be posted at random (so no more 3AM internet lurking for our contests!)
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.

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.

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!

I will use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable at home so that i can strangle him and charge my iphone at the sametime! Not very nice but i do want to strangle my brother sometimes.
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.
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.
I would use this cable at work to keep my desk nice and tidy.
This would be perfect to use when travelling.
I will use it mostly for travel. Very handy especially on flights.
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!
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 🙁
Retractable Cable will end up in my laptop bag for use when traveling.
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.
I'll use it everywhere. Indiana Jones style…
My iPhone will become a deadly weapon.
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!
I would be using this in my car along w/ my USB car charger.
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.
I would use this cool gadget at work. Using my work G4 laptop and my iPhone I would be the envy of the office 🙂
For travelling! Much easier and cleaner solution than coiling up the Apple cord. Nice!
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
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)! 😉
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!
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!
In class, in bus, at the airport, in the washroom.. anywhere n everywhere 😀
I'd use this at work. It's easy to carry around, so I can bring it along with me.
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!!)
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…
With the Orion cable, I can leave one at home…and it's lot cheaper than getting the Apple cable !!!
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!
I would use this everywhere!!!
I'd use it where ever I need to charge my iPhone… Which would probably be at work..
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.
wow I would love to win that!! I would use it at work for sure!
great site, keep it up,
Dan
I would use it in car, I hate having loose cables hanging all over the place.
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!
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.
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 : ).
This would be awesome for trips!
I can finally have a charger on my side of the bed!!! My wife says she has priority!
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!
I'll use it at work! So I can play my music rather then listen to the radio.
I think I just broke my iPhone 3G usb charger! This will be a great time to win this.
I will use the Orion Gadgets 2-in-1 retractable cable after transporting myself into the future.
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.
I will use the Orion Gadgets 2 in 1 retractable cable on my couch and on my bed with my Macbook, it will help to end the tangley mess that are my iPhone accessories.
I would use it at home while i'm taking a crap.
I will use it on the road/travel.
I'll be using at my computer at work so my battery won't die while listening to last.fm and coding all day!
I can use it at school, work, and home!
I like contests! 🙂
Lets just say there is endless possibilities with this handy device!
i will use this everywhere i go ! even in washroom ! lol
the charger will be used at work for the usual purpose of saving hassle from extra length cable
I would use it when travelling.
