All BlackBerry devices come with a USB cable for charging, backups, syncing and more. Its a useful accessory of which every BlackBerry owner knows the value. When traveling or packing it into your "accessory drawer" or laptop bag, the standard USB cable can be a pain sometimes. For this reason, I'm a big fan of a retractable USB cable. These little guys are just a few inches long when rolled up, but when pulled out it stretches to over two feet. No more tangles from multiple cords, and you can even cart this one around in your pocket. With both mini-USB and micro-USB versions available, pretty much every device is covered.
If you need some more control, you can even check out the dual-head sync & charge cable that lets you charge two micro-USB devices at once. Great for charging a headset and device together, device and a spare battery, or whatever crazy combination you can think of. Got more than one device? Check out the retractable cable with 5 different tips to fit all (or most) of your other devices.
CONTEST: Win a retractable USB cable of your choice!
For your chance to win a retractable cable of choice from those offered at ShopCrackBerry.com, simply leave a comment to this blog post telling us how having a retractable cable would help you out. Contest ends this Sunday night at Midnight PST. Please, just one entry per person.

I'll take one.
flechuga Apr 7, 2010 at 2:22 pm
It would be great to have a retractable cable to have less cables all over my desk!
Thanks CB!
otateossian Apr 7, 2010 at 2:23 pm
This retractable cable would help me endlessly...I carry so many cables and chargers in my bag and I always have to spend time untangling everything to actually become functional...with this I wouldnt have to deal with that problem ever!!! How awesome would that be!!!
machfive Apr 7, 2010 at 2:23 pm
With all my traveling and two blackberrys the different cables can be a hassle. This would solve all my problemos.
valorian Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
With all the different cables used with laptops computers this would reduce the size of one of them.
sklotz2000 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
...if I had one of these, it sure would make travel a lot easier!
rocky1951 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
I've never tried the retractable USB but if I win one I'm certain it will be put to great use.
Nomad6677 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Having one of these cables would be great! I could make my desk nice and organized with a retractable cable.
flyingspatula Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
My current travel pack includes 3 usb cable (micro, normal and mini). This looks like the perfect solution to help me save space and the headache.
My poor computer groan each morning as I plug in an array of cables - I feel like an electronics task-master.
Please help me and save my laptop from cruel and unusual punishment.
nfldberryuser Apr 7, 2010 at 2:24 pm
Need I say more?
vodomustng2000 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:25 pm
Yes plz!
nove Apr 7, 2010 at 2:26 pm
...because I "borrowed" the one I'm using now.
mtan14 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:26 pm
I could definitely use this retractable USB cable!!
findthisfunny Apr 7, 2010 at 2:26 pm
A retractable usb cord would be so much easier to carry around. I'd love to win one.
JayBlack40 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:27 pm
i have tons of apps on my phone that seem to drain my battery very quickly. During my days I must carry around my USB and wall charger at all times. My battery goin dead on me in the middle of the day. I like the retractable cord because it makes the USB charger super portable with no worry about cords tangling.
redsox80 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:27 pm
i definitely could use this
blueyestm Apr 7, 2010 at 2:30 pm
sign me up :)
bilmaga Apr 7, 2010 at 2:30 pm
I have a rats nest beside my laptop. This would reduce clutter lol!
tasdisr Apr 7, 2010 at 2:31 pm
Count me in!
kngoworld Apr 7, 2010 at 2:32 pm
ME TOO!
cannon83 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:33 pm
I think this retractable usb cord would be a great have. I would keep my dogs and son from being tied up in the cords. When this happens it makes my mini laptop hit the ground each time. So to have this usb would be GREAT!
FiendOut Apr 7, 2010 at 2:34 pm
I hate wires so having a retractable cable would help me alot
schrack3000 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I take my usb cable with me to work everyday. I would love the convenience of one of these!
mattpowell19 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:35 pm
I would love to have a retractable cable to remove some of the clutter from all of my cables ont he desk. Have a 3 foot cable for a 6inch span is a little to much.
Adsquared Apr 7, 2010 at 2:36 pm
This would make it a lot easier on my flights to and from the desert also while being deployed. I could pack one cable instead of the multiple cables needed. I could really use one of these.
RonBoyd Apr 7, 2010 at 2:37 pm
Please
robrowald Apr 7, 2010 at 2:39 pm
Do you know how nice it would be to have a single cable that I could use for my various devices? Of course you do. 1 cable to rule them all; yep that's what I need
markkelley Apr 7, 2010 at 2:40 pm
hook me up!
rpp2 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
If I had this I could definetly get rid of the cumbersome cords and rubberbands.
rorosz Apr 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
I could use it both in the car with my usb charger and at home with only the right length of cable needed!
Thanks for this awesome contest!
paso971 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Having this cable could free-up my "bblife-package" when i'm on the go.
mrrobinson Apr 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
Retractable = less clutter. 'Nuf said!
jim34431 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:41 pm
I travel 5 days a week and they are right about the cumbersome USB cable for my Blackberries. This would definitely be a welcome addition to my travel arsenal.
dklimah#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 2:42 pm
I would love one cause Crackberry Rocks
davdwomble Apr 7, 2010 at 2:42 pm
Retractable, safe, stop me tripping over all the cables and nearly headbutting the aquarium.
redbadger Apr 7, 2010 at 2:42 pm
This retractable cable would help me endlessly...I carry so many cables and chargers in my bag and I always have to spend time untangling everything to actually become functional...with this I wouldnt have to deal with that problem ever!!! How awesome would that be!!!
nikki630 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:43 pm
Me me me :-)
jzee923 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:44 pm
It would help with the endless clutter of wires that i have in my bag and on my desk.
JsGrandma Apr 7, 2010 at 2:44 pm
as I travel alot and would be great in my luggage.
PrincessJuJu79 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:44 pm
I am constantly on the go and my BlackBerry is my lifeline! I can and do need to charge my BB in different locations. I am a Kindergarten teacher and sometimes need to charge it on my laptop at work. I am a graduate student and sometimes end up charging my BB in class or in a computer lab on a university owned desktop. I travel often and end up charging it using my cord and laptop in a hotel room. I cannot let my BB die! I have two children and want to be constantly available if they need me. I have things for work and school that I need to available for. My poor BB stays on 24/7 because I have friends in the military overseas and I want to be able to take calls/emails from them on their schedules! I am constantly afraid of losing my USB charger cable when I move it from place to place. Having a retractable cord that could fit in my purse or laptop bag would free me up to leave the regular cable at home and not have to worry about losing it on the go! Here's to hoping you pick me to try one out! Thanks!
flash47 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:44 pm
i want
phenyx923 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:46 pm
i have a bold 9000 and my boyfriend has a bold 9700....so we cant share a charger or cable which sucks when one of us needs to charge our phone! i also have a B&N Nook, which uses the mini USB, so same situation, cant use my Bold USB to charge....this would soooo come in handy. thanks!
immeum Apr 7, 2010 at 2:46 pm
Let me count the ways this would be great for me! I wouldn't trip on the cord anymore like I've done dozens of times with this icky old-fashioned cord! When I set the laptop down, the cord dangles off the side, I forget it's there and get up and trip on it sending either the phone or the laptop crashing to the floor if I'm not quick enough to save them. The old-fashioned USP doesn't fit well in my laptop case and I either need to buy a new case or carry the USB loose. Then I sometimes end up dropping it or somehow losing it. This would be so great. Thanks for the chance to win one!
Artwerks Apr 7, 2010 at 2:47 pm
Better have my BB with this cord than bringing a USB stick to school for data!
dgburns Apr 7, 2010 at 2:47 pm
I like to have a charge cable with me more often than carrying around a full size cable allows.
moodyblues4me Apr 7, 2010 at 2:48 pm
I already have enough cords hanging out of my PC that I constantly run over them with my chair... this would definitely help and would be one less thing that would not be dragged off of my desk because I ran over it with the wheels of my desk chair!
Yopeace Apr 7, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I'll take one thank you!!!! :)
Yopeace Apr 7, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I'll take one thank you!!!! :)
onegreatsmile Apr 7, 2010 at 2:49 pm
I have so many cords in my house/laptop bag, I could finish a hammock and have leftovers to tie it to a tree! Any reductions in plastic in my world are fine with me!
cbresciani Apr 7, 2010 at 2:51 pm
I have several chargers and usb cables that can really be a pain to pack when I travel. I'm all for simplifying things and this would sure do it.
Crackberrier09 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:51 pm
Can i haz one please! :)
D Mobile Apr 7, 2010 at 2:52 pm
I could us that.
rj160202 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:52 pm
Thanks CB!
wcihlu Apr 7, 2010 at 2:53 pm
YEs
evanskl Apr 7, 2010 at 2:53 pm
With 2 BB, a Kindle and a Nokia to keep charged, this is the answer!!
ttsoldier Apr 7, 2010 at 2:54 pm
I'm a neat freak and this would definitely up my neatness level a lot when it comes to my blackberry! =]
rontaylor Apr 7, 2010 at 2:56 pm
I could sure use this one. My desk is a tangled mess of cables anyway and this would certain help.
DamageINC. Apr 7, 2010 at 2:58 pm
I am always on the road or running around looking for an office. I have 25 pounds of presentation gear and no room what so ever. Retractable cables would be great because I have so little space as it is. I could fit all the essential cables in one spot where in the past only one could fit.
michellch1 Apr 7, 2010 at 2:59 pm
This would be a great blessing to me as I have a job that sometimes takes me out of the office with my laptop. Besides the fact that it would be easier to pack in my laptop bag, it would be a great asset to my office desk by cutting down on the cords laying around my desk. I am new to the Blackberry world and love learning how to use it for both my personal and professional life! Thank you!
piky Apr 7, 2010 at 3:00 pm
i have one of these are really good and fast but i lost it and would love to have another one
bnc24 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:01 pm
this will cut down on the 6 cords I have all over the place!
BooYaa9050 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Yes, I'd like one please.
evl mnky Apr 7, 2010 at 3:06 pm
Would love to have this to keep at work and help keep my S2 charged up!
ba_hamilton Apr 7, 2010 at 3:07 pm
This is a really cool device.
hoosierdaddy716 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:08 pm
one for me please
gheitzner Apr 7, 2010 at 3:09 pm
I carry so many cords around with me and have so many cords plugged into my computer at my desk. Having a retractable charging cord would benefit me so much because I would have less cord on my desk and it would get less tangled with the rest of my cords.
kaptiv8her Apr 7, 2010 at 3:11 pm
If I had one of these I would probably carry it around in my pocket. So convenient.
xeju Apr 7, 2010 at 3:11 pm
Sing me up for one. What a space saver!
Timelessblur Apr 7, 2010 at 3:11 pm
This would be very useful for me to just throw in my bag when I go to class and I could just use my blackberry as a flash drive
st_temps Apr 7, 2010 at 3:12 pm
It'd mean one less cable to tidy!
jayrod88 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:12 pm
This would make it much easier for me to tether my 9700 without all of the clutter. Definately on my "to get" list. Micro USB please...
medphys Apr 7, 2010 at 3:12 pm
I could use this for my Storm and my Kindle!
yy713 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:13 pm
This would be nice for my storm and bold 9000 together.
t_d_harvey31 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
This would be perfect for work! As I am sure we all do, have way too many cables around my desktop on a daily basis. You know for sure that I am not going to leave my BB out of the mix, of course it is the most important one imo. pick me, pick me!
dgbrock Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
That's nice!
Disciplinz Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
i want one
red72 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
This would be very nice to have. I could carry it around in my pocket.
Link995 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
I am one of those people who love to be a minimalist and I carry so many cords and wires and it drives me crazy to try and pack all of them in my bag! I lose the small ones and end up taking everything out to find it. THIS WOULD BE AMAZING! Please enter me, I would love one! Thank you!
vwracing Apr 7, 2010 at 3:14 pm
for work...easy to carry around and less cord mess when tethering!
l-j#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 3:15 pm
A retractable cable would significantly help me out, becasue my cords are always tangling with one another.
Meagey Apr 7, 2010 at 3:16 pm
they are just cool...!!!
Butterfly2 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:16 pm
having one would help me hide my bb while it's charging at work, plus east storage easy to carry!! Please and thank you! Also I could show off!! Haahaa
Craig_C Apr 7, 2010 at 3:17 pm
I would love to have one!
Grovlet Apr 7, 2010 at 3:17 pm
Absolutely!!!
carlosg2002 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:18 pm
i'll take one pls i need it!!
CB.Mike-D Apr 7, 2010 at 3:20 pm
I really couldn't tell you how a retractable charger could help me out, I mean I dont have a charger (I have to use my girlfriends) so I guess thats a start, and maybe I could entertain myself when Im bored somehow !?!
theStevester Apr 7, 2010 at 3:22 pm
I go between my laptop to blackberry to three desktops, to my car (where I drive 90 miles a day) to the train I take to L.A. from San Diego a couple times a month. I need to sync data between each and charge each. PLUS I have a handsfree in the car that needs charging and a IPod Touch that plays my music and podcasts over the car radio, so I need to connect everything to that too.
I also have to sync some files (pictures) and such with other fam that have blackberrys. Soooo...thanks.
lotsopets Apr 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
This would be the perfect accessory for when I am tethering. No need to disconnect when a call comes in...just push and talk (within 2 feet of course). I would love to have one!
garbagefairy1967 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
No more worrying about my cats chewing my charger cord! Small enough to keep in my purse, thanks CB!
richs#CB Apr 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
All of the retracable cable I have tried will only charge and will not sync. Would love to be able to do both.
teamdarns Apr 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
I'd love this, instead of carry my charger/usb cable everyday with me.
urbanjas Apr 7, 2010 at 3:23 pm
Help me to stop tripping on the damn thing and forgetting it all the time.
Cap_172R Apr 7, 2010 at 3:24 pm
I'm a student and i carry my laptop everywhere, take all my notes on my laptop! With all the cords and cables i have (i carry my laptop's tablet in there too) the bag gets bulky and over packed with numerous cords. plus i use my phone alot especially if i don't have a proper internet connection. This would help out alot as it would replace some of the cords i would have to bring along and if not... i can just simply carry it in my pocket.. easy solution! nice...
mgrayo01 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:25 pm
I could definitely use it at work! My cube doesn't have any free electrical outlets (computer, printer, etc. take all them up). I could use this to charge my Storm2 by plugging it into my desktop.
Acret Apr 7, 2010 at 3:27 pm
:)
ruger10_22#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 3:27 pm
Plug me in please?!
ilove20 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:28 pm
Omg I could really use one! I recently lost my USB cable so I haven't been able to back up my phone in over a week. I travel a lot so I used to keep my cable in my purse bit somehow lost it. If I had this it would be much more convenient because it's easy to carry. Pleeeease help me!
Acret Apr 7, 2010 at 3:30 pm
Im always traveling whether its to work, to my house or my moms or dads. I can only take a tiny backpack since I take the bus. Having the retractable allows me to have less cables in my bag and more room for my other personal items! This would help me out a lot!
Jav0n Apr 7, 2010 at 3:31 pm
I need a cord :(.
Karlos349 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:32 pm
With a retractable cable I could take another step towards stopping the nest of cables in my laptop bag!
Peppe Apr 7, 2010 at 3:32 pm
this will save me from bringing all my cables when I travel :)
AprilStorm Apr 7, 2010 at 3:34 pm
Knowing I had a retractable cable like this in my bag would really help me unwind!
LindaKimura Apr 7, 2010 at 3:36 pm
This would certainly help me when I am out in the (early childhood) field providing training. I often am in a situation where I want the device to not be right next to my computer. This would work great!
Warmly,
Linda
The Babies Can't Wait Lady
elkosupertech Apr 7, 2010 at 3:38 pm
When I had one, it was convenient to carry it in my pocket and on the rare occasion I needed a file or forgot to charge my Blackberry, it was nice to have this item in my pocket. Well it wasn't specifically this unit but an older one that just had the mini-USB connector. I miss it. :(
tinksblu Apr 7, 2010 at 3:41 pm
It would simplify life. I sometimes carry my cable in a Wal-Mart bag. With this I wouldn't have to.
calrayray Apr 7, 2010 at 3:42 pm
I can connect to my phone at work !!
speeno green Apr 7, 2010 at 3:44 pm
i need 1!!! i wonder how ya pick your winners?
eriet30 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:44 pm
My Traveling would be sooooo much less tangled with this
knicksfan Apr 7, 2010 at 3:44 pm
Would love to win it
sjkimberly Apr 7, 2010 at 3:44 pm
that's how it would help me.
Bberrydad Apr 7, 2010 at 3:45 pm
A great solution to cable clutter. I'd love to win one!
mangy Apr 7, 2010 at 3:45 pm
now I can carry a USB cable in my pocket without looking like I have a _______!!!
muydess Apr 7, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Would be nice for my Storm 2.
raspberry123 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:48 pm
Thanks for letting me in on this looks like i could use tat!
mrztune Apr 7, 2010 at 3:49 pm
(Drooling) one of these please, me me me.
buzzdar Apr 7, 2010 at 3:49 pm
enter me please
penspuck14 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:51 pm
This would come in handy at work since I already have enough stuff taking up space.
zynnis Apr 7, 2010 at 3:52 pm
This would be fantastic. I currently share a car with my family, and my usb cable is in my vehicle so I can charge on the go. Any time I need it someone never seems to fail at taking the car and my usb cable with them! Another one would be fantastic and very helpful for me to be able to connect to my pc when I need to!
tbizzy1985#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 3:53 pm
Grrrrrrrrrrrreat
Nelimungous Apr 7, 2010 at 3:55 pm
I do allot of travel by car and spend many lovely nights in hotels. The fewer cords I have to fight with the better. This would be great since I use my BB for everything from my music player to my GPS navigation! Thanks for the opp!
flufflogic Apr 7, 2010 at 3:57 pm
I have an awkward computer setup. I've placed my laptop in my desk and used a vga cable to connect it to my monitor on top of the desk. The USB hub I have is in the desk with the laptop and a lot of my items I connect to it like my blackberry won't reach so far, so this extender would help me with my current porblem.
cbosdell Apr 7, 2010 at 3:57 pm
This would be great to carry around with me to plug up to the nearest computer when I'm out or use with a usb to ac adapter!
the_stig#WN Apr 7, 2010 at 3:58 pm
This retractable cord would be good because it seems to be more portable.
gerry702 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:58 pm
this looks like it would come in real handy
skeeta76 Apr 7, 2010 at 3:59 pm
Thanks.
jongross100 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:01 pm
I wanna try one
sjb2176 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:04 pm
To have a retractable cord would be great! The convenience of the retractable usb instead of carrying the usb cord that came w/ the BB is need, definitely. No more wear & tear on winding the cord up & carrying it around in my purse.
Rickeibey Apr 7, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Sounds great send it to me right away!
GMCappetta Apr 7, 2010 at 4:04 pm
Normally when I pack the laptop bag, it includes:
Laptop power cord
Blackberry USB cable
Hands free kit
iPod USB cable
iPod headphones
Blackberry charger
Blackberry car charger
It's like the Gordian Knot when I pull it out.
BarracudaBob Apr 7, 2010 at 4:04 pm
A retractable cable would help a lot at work where I already have enough USB cables, papers, phone lines, ethernet cables and such scattered about. It won't help with all the other clutter, but at least it would be easier to bring home over the weekend. I'd love to win one so count me in.
juicebox666 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:06 pm
I'd love one of these!
mandujar1 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:08 pm
this would be a great addition to my laptop bag.
Foberry Apr 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Question is; How can this NOT help me out. Portable and reduce the number of cables I have lying around = win!
nolatech Apr 7, 2010 at 4:10 pm
Considering all the different types of phones that I have to support (majority of them BlackBerry's), this would greatly reduce the amount of cales and adapters that I need to carry between facilities. I have an entire pocket of my laptop bag dedicated to nothing but usb cables. This would be a tremendous recouperation of space that I could then use for something more useful. Like a resume...
wclement7 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:14 pm
Free!!!!
ruggerij Apr 7, 2010 at 4:14 pm
I would love this for my travel backpack. Much better than carrying around a full long cable!
newt45#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 4:15 pm
It would make my life so easier!
vsuga Apr 7, 2010 at 4:15 pm
..able. No need to be trangled in endless feets of cords. I love it.
vsuga Apr 7, 2010 at 4:15 pm
..able. No need to be tangled in endless feets of cords. I love it.
garymait Apr 7, 2010 at 4:16 pm
Always nice to cut down in the length of cables that'll end up spaghetting in my bag.
Jaxxv01 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:16 pm
..And i could REALLY use a new one :)
decypher44 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:18 pm
You'd KNOW how this would help out. I have several gadgets that this would work for. Sifting throught the tangles mess of wires and cables is a pain. I've actually gone without using a gadget for extended periods of time because it would be so painful to try and find the right cable in the cable madness!!! This would be a godsend!
XPerties Apr 7, 2010 at 4:23 pm
I don't have a reason why I would "need" a retractable cable but then again at one point in our lives we didn't "need" a blackberry until we used one and from that day forward we now "require" a blackberry. With that being said CB, make me "require" retractable cables and send me a free set!
mcbrier Apr 7, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Love it !!!
brayndeded Apr 7, 2010 at 4:23 pm
Heck yeah this would help at prison---i mean work!! ha
I work at a small desk with too much stuff crammed into to small of a space, so having a small retractable cord charging my BB (that Im not suppose to have on my desk....shhhhh) would keep me low key and clutter free!
chaz0717 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:24 pm
I stepped on the cord hanging off of a low coffee table in a hotel room. The sound of the thub that was my bb hitting the floor was gut wrenching.
r1moza Apr 7, 2010 at 4:25 pm
I already got myself a mouse like that for me laptop, use it in school. Takes no space and u use as much cable as u need . Having this one will allow me to bring it with me everywhere cuz its small and useful
Goldpeachez Apr 7, 2010 at 4:25 pm
Would like to win this
BBBandit Apr 7, 2010 at 4:26 pm
I would love to win one of these.
sarcasm_is_free Apr 7, 2010 at 4:27 pm
It is compact and I could use it in a pinch when my phone dies from talking too much. :)
crashdavis Apr 7, 2010 at 4:27 pm
This would be a lot easier to work with when I travel than a long cord.
07outback Apr 7, 2010 at 4:27 pm
Having a retractable cable would make life easy when traveling.
ceb1 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:29 pm
I could SURE USE this. u guy's RULE
SCrid2000 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:30 pm
My wife is always yelling at me about our dining room table being a mess of computer wires and cables lol. This would save me some grief ;)
vecharo Apr 7, 2010 at 4:31 pm
it would help at home where, so that I don't lose my cable, i keep it plugged into my laptop. So, when i move the laptop the cable is dangling...and the cats trying to play with it. call it crazy to keep it plugged in but i'm the only one in the house with a sync cable that's not constantly looking for their cable! :-)
bimmahh Apr 7, 2010 at 4:33 pm
I travel a lot and this would help reduce clutter in my bag
the brother Apr 7, 2010 at 4:37 pm
i've been looking for one of these for AGESSSSS~! need this for my laptop pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeze!
markstone64 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:37 pm
great accessory
BIG CAT 7 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:38 pm
Would make downloading OS's at work more stealth like!!!! Less chance of getting caught not doing my job, lol.....
AFriske Apr 7, 2010 at 4:38 pm
always good
AnneO Apr 7, 2010 at 4:39 pm
My family has a basket full cords and we don't know what half of them are for. This would be nice to charge my BB with laptop while taking notes with OneNote.
Mike_Luchia Apr 7, 2010 at 4:40 pm
I already have a backpack full of cables, this would be great!
mikeb6109 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Man that sure would help to get my desk looking a bit more organized. And not having to take out the knots in my usb cable in order to get connected.
duckduke Apr 7, 2010 at 4:41 pm
Retactable is the way to go. Unwinding and rewinding the cables is nothing but a huge PITA. Especially since the BB is usually ends up less than 6 inches from the PC USB port.
berryg1 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:43 pm
This would clean some clutter off my computer work station.
dscadden Apr 7, 2010 at 4:47 pm
Always working around the three feet of cable. I need this.
LRB Apr 7, 2010 at 4:49 pm
It would make less clutter on my desktop.
cowsbestfriend Apr 7, 2010 at 4:52 pm
This would solve the issue if cords getting lost and tangled! These things are a life saver :)
bluegreen1965 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:52 pm
I ride the bus to work every day, and this would help ease the load in my backpack!
abdul Apr 7, 2010 at 4:54 pm
Pick me.I need this, to many cables on my desk right now.
squintyboy Apr 7, 2010 at 4:54 pm
much more mobile
MusicMtl Apr 7, 2010 at 4:54 pm
I always carry around a USB cable for charging on the run, but it constantly gets tangled up in my headphones and other stuff. This is exactly what I need!
franke2008 Apr 7, 2010 at 4:58 pm
just what I need
Snipperdo17 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:01 pm
My usb is always in my computer, which sits on my floor so it always gets tangled up. I'll take one!
toan07 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:03 pm
i have 4 usb cables that i always care with me everyday to work. I have a total of 7 cables that I use just about every day but 4 that I must need. Having a retractable cable would eliminate the confusion and help me pack faster when I have to scramble out the house/office. I spend about a minute each time trying to make sure I have the right cables and I definitely could use one of these.
HofstraJet Apr 7, 2010 at 5:08 pm
With numerous USB devices, it would be nice to have retractable cables to keep my cable mess in order. I will be ordering a few, but one free would definitely help.
MarcSMASH Apr 7, 2010 at 5:10 pm
This would help me out due to the fact that it would fit nicely in the backpack/laptop bag. Sign me up!
chosen1_88 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:11 pm
My gf and I are both BB users and travel a lot. She's using a BB with microUSB and I'm using one with mini-USB. a retractable cable like this would certainly make things easier for us when we tether or charge our devices!
Green_Laser Apr 7, 2010 at 5:14 pm
i always find my regular micro usb cable, still good but quite large when taking with me in my pocket to work.
having a retractable one would definitely make a huge difference for me.
Count me in!
PhilipC Apr 7, 2010 at 5:17 pm
If I don't win, I'll buy anyway.
TurboTiger Apr 7, 2010 at 5:20 pm
Count me in.
TIA
lsb3user Apr 7, 2010 at 5:28 pm
Quite frankly, I carry lots of stuff around including usb cables, like for my Storm 2, my iPod, etc. Takes up too much space even when I wind them up. I could sure use a retractable.
LS
sw299353 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:31 pm
Please pick me I don't have one my friend borrowed my cable and never gave it back. PRETTY PLEASE :(
TaZ52083 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:35 pm
This is an usefull accessorie to have so pick me CB nation please.
Naivian Apr 7, 2010 at 5:36 pm
It would be great not to have a mess of cables on my small desk. Awesome contest Crack berry. Thanks.
d3lta#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 5:37 pm
My storm would like one :)
Camoberry Apr 7, 2010 at 5:40 pm
If you could only see my desk. I have so many wires, it looks like a spaghetti dinner. I need to control the chaos.
pballa2099 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:43 pm
I have so many different cables that i'm always using. if i had one of these it would eliminate the stress of having to find my berry's cable everytime. please pick me
jtmccaig Apr 7, 2010 at 5:44 pm
this would be pretty cool to have.
sanfordswalk Apr 7, 2010 at 5:46 pm
Definitely. Yes!
nimocone#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 5:47 pm
This would take up so little room in my travel gadget bag if I had this to take the place of the standard cords.
jonholmes Apr 7, 2010 at 5:49 pm
i'll take mine now. thanks
Wolfroid Apr 7, 2010 at 5:51 pm
what....
Y
ok,leaving some comm....;))))
pokerpro Apr 7, 2010 at 5:54 pm
I use a usb cable everyday and one of these would definitely come in handy
CAD420 Apr 7, 2010 at 5:54 pm
I'm forever updating all my friends phones/devices but nobody ever remembers to bring their cords (think old curves, new bolds, iphones, etc) so having all the cords I need in one package sure would alleviate a few headaches for everyone involved. Good job people. Clever device.
Shoesmom Apr 7, 2010 at 5:55 pm
Would love to win one of these retractable USB cables. It would definitely help clear up the mess in my computer bag!
dx169 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:02 pm
I only have a couple of usb ports on my computer and they're often difficult to reach. Having this would be incredibly convenient!
digital312 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:08 pm
Would be nice to win this!
Drewsefer Apr 7, 2010 at 6:15 pm
Definitely a necessity when doing OS updates on my Berry. No longer have to 'unbend' the stiff OEM cable...
kano2864212 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:15 pm
This would be great to save some space on my desk
cafe_civet Apr 7, 2010 at 6:17 pm
This would really help clean up and simplify my car charger setup.
Powdah Apr 7, 2010 at 6:18 pm
Less clutter, more ???
alc94 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:18 pm
This is nice
deborahfcole Apr 7, 2010 at 6:20 pm
2-3-5 cords in ONE! No oops forgot that one...no tangles...less weight---stress and headaches! I really need this luxury!
4evercat#cb Apr 7, 2010 at 6:24 pm
it would make it easier to charge along the way.
Jassal2008 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:28 pm
it will help me cear my desk of the wires
ZebraIII Apr 7, 2010 at 6:32 pm
This would be much more convenient than the stock cable while I'm traveling.
yanosh94 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:34 pm
With the differents tips i can charge different device on mobility with single cable
dfanella Apr 7, 2010 at 6:35 pm
...in more ways than one.
Crousetrodomis Apr 7, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I need one of these......mines a gonner after a car accident :(
chubbrock Apr 7, 2010 at 6:35 pm
I would be able to impersonate indiana jones with a blackberry!
bubbasixx Apr 7, 2010 at 6:38 pm
save me so much space in my laptop bag. I have 3 or 4 usb cables for various devices that just get tangles up with my chargers. This little guy would fit so nicely into one of my bag pockets that now houses a spiderweb of cables.
Please help my bag's sanity and hook me up with this cable set up.
Thank you and I appreciate it in advance.
doughboyy Apr 7, 2010 at 6:42 pm
the floor beside my computer is littered with cables, with one of these retractable usb cables, the clutter disappears
droidnewbie2011 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:52 pm
I would love to win one. I had just the one usb cable when I first bought the bb tour and then I lost it. So I had to buy a new one. This usb cable will be handy and it will stay put and the best part it's retractable!
McNibbler Apr 7, 2010 at 6:53 pm
It would really help me keep my purse tidy with the retractable cord. I hate having the cord everywhere in my purse!! Thanks for the chance!
stormin_suzie Apr 7, 2010 at 6:54 pm
Woot! Having one would really stop me from being such a tangl-y mess!
patels83 Apr 7, 2010 at 6:58 pm
Very nice
Hotdogtree Apr 7, 2010 at 7:01 pm
This would help me a lot, I am forever carrying around my USB cable for my BlackBerry, I have lost one, and left them many places, I use it a lot, and having one that is this small would mean a lot. I would never loose or misplace it again, would be a dream come true.
Raistlin1 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:08 pm
It would help me to get rid of my man purse!
cudinhkien Apr 7, 2010 at 7:12 pm
I want it. Please choose me :D
needforspd Apr 7, 2010 at 7:13 pm
no more tangled cords taking the needed cable out of my laptop/backpack
commander246 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:14 pm
I'm ready ... send it home!
lobsterpower Apr 7, 2010 at 7:17 pm
Having an extra pair so I can use in my university dorm would be great
jkfsr Apr 7, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Would be a lot less clutter when traveling. Hope I win!
headshot Apr 7, 2010 at 7:24 pm
Will give it GO!
chelpop Apr 7, 2010 at 7:31 pm
This would keep me organized! I hate how many cords I have lying around. I like the idea of a retractable cord that I can just put away neatly
john_ecko Apr 7, 2010 at 7:32 pm
pretty sweet.
I have a retractable car charger for my phone.
VAman49 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:33 pm
This would go a long way toward clearing up some clutter. Easy to store and easy to use.
w_bovine Apr 7, 2010 at 7:35 pm
I'm sure I could make good use of this. As it is, I don't have nearly enough cables scattered about.
tms1766 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:42 pm
This would really help me out. I have so many cables everywhere, it would be nice to clean up the clutter.
dlcole Apr 7, 2010 at 7:43 pm
a retractable USB cable for my BB would be the first towards getting rid of the cable mess in my laptop bag.
riff_raff Apr 7, 2010 at 7:46 pm
Sure would help de-clutter the truck when I'm driving cross-country. My dashboard has so many cables it looks like a plate of spaghetti! Here's hoping you pick me!
ROSES5682 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:47 pm
this would be perfect for work.
JmeBerry Apr 7, 2010 at 7:47 pm
Really what I'm looking for.
Justmyluck13 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:52 pm
This would be much smaller and lighter than the stock usb cable I carry to and from work everyday.
Count me in!
the70sboi Apr 7, 2010 at 7:54 pm
I've been looking for one of these! I'm in!
chustle925 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:56 pm
This would really be great..
jeniferlynne Apr 7, 2010 at 7:57 pm
that looks cool! would be better then having all my wires all over the place ... how convenient!
GirlieGirl285 Apr 7, 2010 at 7:59 pm
this would be great for me to have
Sanch0 Apr 7, 2010 at 8:01 pm
I don't have a whole lot of desk space. Between my laptop and printer, there isn't much work room. Having a retractable capable would allow me to update apps and OS on my phone, but keep everything nice and tiddy while I do it.
narniahopper Apr 7, 2010 at 8:13 pm
While a standard USB cable would be useful, a retractable will save time and energy by avoiding being added to the tangled mass of cords that currently reside in my laptop travel bag.
Datboi Apr 7, 2010 at 8:14 pm
Great accessory
albokay Apr 7, 2010 at 8:18 pm
one less cord to get choked with is better.
boy_de_ghet Apr 7, 2010 at 8:20 pm
Great product.
Krakka_Berry Apr 7, 2010 at 8:20 pm
I'm a student and my berry and laptop are always on in front of me during class. I keep my old blackberry plugged into my car 24/7 so I can swap out the battery if needed. I never really have to charge my phone. The cable would be an excellent convenience for my classes, seeing how I carry so much as it is. I can transfer my note to my berry as backup during school. The retractable would be an awesome tool to use. Anyone can use the cable it comes with but the whole point of the retractable is convenience and during school that would be amazing!!
pinoy_sti Apr 7, 2010 at 8:22 pm
only have 1 outlet left in the room, have to alternate charging the 2 curves... this would be very handy
MURALO Apr 7, 2010 at 8:25 pm
One of these retractable cables would help make a disorganized life a bit more organized. Great idea.
Houshinto Apr 7, 2010 at 8:35 pm
With this retractable one I can save myself from the headache of untangling any excess that might get intertwined with the rest of the "jungle".
Besides I can see how I can do a little drill hole mod on the side of it and loop it on my key ring. And presto! Now I can't lose the charger or my keys!
rbrugada Apr 7, 2010 at 8:35 pm
thanks
macdaddy Apr 7, 2010 at 8:38 pm
I am an EMT and this would be great for portable use in the truck!
