Traveling with charging cables can be a mess. We’ve all been there. You get to the airport only to realize your smartphone or laptop’s battery is low. Then you dig in your bag for the charging cable, and by the time you’re done, you basically have to repack your bag again. Shambles.
Of course, there are plenty of cable management accessories you can buy to help neatly pack your charging cables, such as bags, straps, cord tacos and cable winders (like this). Some charging cables have their own built-in management solutions, too.
Native Union’s newest charging cable, the Pocket Cable, has its own built-in cable management solution — and it does it in a pretty slick way.

The Native Union Pocket Cable is a portable USB-C to USB-C charging cable disguised as an EDC. It’s designed to look and work similar a pocket knife — its body has a built-in cable management solution so that the cables fold compactly back into itself when not in use. It’s also roughly the size of a pocket knife.
The outside of the body is made of Kevlar, and the cable has PET-reinforced braiding — according to Native Union, the Pocket Cable has a lifespan of 30,000 bends (basically, it should last a long time). There’s a tiny keyring, too, so you can easily attach it to an existing keychain.
