About this model

I was tired of print not really good usb cable protector then I decided to make my own design to full cover the usb and micro usb connector that grant a real protection. Use some glue to fit both sides. Tested with Samsung Galaxy S7, J2 and some generics USB cables. Update: ----------- iPhone 8 version added (lightening and Usb side). Maybe fits in another iphone version but I couldn´t test it...
