About this model

The way the cable is designed, its fairly easy to cause a break at the base of the wire and connector. I already broke one cable over 6 months of use. So here's a cable saver for the power cable. No longer will you ruin the cable by accident. I added a little hole so you can still see the light when charging and I rounded out the end so not to cut into the cable over time if you pull on the cable to disconnect it from the tablet. Update Added a saver that's in an L shape, by request.
