The reasons why I wanted a magnetic charging cable are as follows:
- Fall protection - With my phone, it is already happened to me the one time or another, that one hangs on the cable and then it falls off, the magnetic charging cable already dissolves at a small force. It holds but firm enough to move it with cables
- USB port preserve - The supplied battery charger uses the USB port, which reacts quite sensitive to mechanical effects
- Higher loading capacity - on the extra-charge connection, the tablet can be charged more quickly than via the USB port, since the currents of the USB ports are limited by specification
Fit / Processing: The contacts (Magnet / current) fit very well on the Nexus 10, as soon as one comes close to the tablet with the connector (0.5 cm apart) dock it on their own. But you have to pay attention to the alignment, as it produces only one direction Contact. A watermark for orientation lacking. The contact pins on the plug are spring-mounted and press against the contact areas on the tablet. Between Tablet and connectors are also not big and bulky gaps. The processing of the plug and cable are also fine. The cable length is approximately 1.5 m.
Loading speed: In direct comparison USB port vs. Pogo pin has to charge 14% (Low Battery Warning) to 100% with the Pogo 30min less needed.
Negatives: The charging cable is supplied only with a USB port for charging. I can not quite understand (20 EUR) considering the price, was therefore omitted here a mains plug. However, it can be docked to the original USB power plug.
Through the cable no data connection is established to the PC by the way, it is a pure charging cable. That's for me, but no criticism because the pogo pin connector that does not yield and before I make all things wireless.
Conclusion: Buy recommendation, as it is a security feature such as a protective cover. Deduction there, because no power cord is included.
