This is a newer product on the market, its a great idea, where the USB-C plug can swivel. I assume their goal was to make it easier to charge your device while also using it, and to make the cable last longer. The swivel part is great when it works but it's super fragile and broke for me in two weeks.

These for all my rechargeable devices. Super convenient, and the magnetic inserts are easyand affordable to replace.
