Review: Perfect Fix for Phone Case + USB-C Mic Setup - I bought this USB-C extension adapter because I needed a way to use my external microphone with my phone without having to remove the case every time. This little extender totally solved the problem. The male end is slim enough to fit through the narrow opening of my case, and the connection is solid—no wiggle, no dropouts. It’s also great that this supports full-speed data and power delivery. I’ve used it for video calls, audio recording, and even fast charging without any issues. I haven’t tested the full 8K video capability yet, but it’s nice to know it’s future-proof. You get two in the pack, which is great—one stays in my travel bag, and the other lives on my mic cable. ✅ Works perfectly with thick phone cases ✅ Maintains mic/audio quality ✅ Great build quality, tight and secure fit ✅ No impact on charging or data speed If you use a USB-C mic or dongle with a phone case, this is exactly what you need.
Review: 💯 Super Duper Awesome! 💯 - This is exactly what I was looking for! It fits on my cellphone while the case is on it, so that I can plug the things into it that were made by fools who didn't take a phone case into account. As if they believe that no one uses phone cases or something, lol. And it's a really small adapter, just like I was looking for. Heck, it's probably the smallest that they can make an adapter such as this. It has a solid and tight connection on both ends as well. You can even unplug most things from it without it coming unplugged from whatever it's plugged into. However, I would just try and keep that to a minimum if possible, because eventually any adapter will wear down quickly if things are constantly unplugged from it and plugged into it. But anyway, if you've been shopping for one of these and can't decide on one of them, this one will do just fine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect to protect USB-C ports!
*by Z***. on June 29, 2022*

I am a computer keyboard hobbyist, which means I like to collect keyboards and their accessories (keycaps, cables, switches, etc.). I picked up a couple of different devices recently that had stacked acrylic frames (layers of acrylic to make up the outside of the keyboard), which meant the USB-C ports were inset into the case. I noticed when plugging in a USB-C cable that there was a worrying amount of movement happening. Stacked acrylic keyboards have flex, and therefore offer less support to the USB-C PCB and its port. This makes logically makes failure more of a risk. A USB-C extender seemed a natural option for protecting wear and tear, since keyboard collecting can also mean keycap and USB-C cable collecting. For me, plugging in a USB-C cable is far from a "one and done" situation - as I rotate out components from my collection. After measuring the gap in the acrylic cutout for the USB-C ports, I compared a large number of USB-C extension options, and ultimately chose this product. It was relatively petite compared to the competition, and the straight sides (vs an oval) meant a more supportive fit. The price was very reasonable, and the housing is aluminum, not plastic. I would have preferred white, but I have a lot of "space gray" accessories, so this still works. Thankfully, the branding is only on one side, so I have the it face down for a cleaner appearance. These protrude less than a centimeter from my keyboards, and now the USB-C ports have added support from these extenders protruding slightly from the acrylic housing, and filling out most of the empty space that would exist if only using a cable. Being paranoid after hearing so many horror stories about mis-wired USB-C cables, I tested these with a cheap cable and cheap, older keyboard on my oldest PC. They worked great, no issues, so now they're on the equipment I purchased them for. I cannot speak to charging/power delivery, since I'm only using these with mechanical keyboards that don't require high power output or battery charging, but they're excellent for my needs. Overall, I'm extremely pleased with this purchase and would highly recommend!
