IT Show 2015: Tylt Syncable Lightning Cable (1 Meter)

The Wife is using the iPhone5, issued by her office. So its another device in the household with a different set of charging cable. It was quite manageable before this, mainly with micro-USB and 30-pin iDevice charging cable. But now, I have to make way for 1 cable solely for her iPhone. Thanks Apple.

I have tried to use a number of Lightning cables. But somehow, it only works for a couple of charge, after which the dreaded error message saying that the cable is not suitable for charging would appear. I have to admit that these are not 'official certified' Lightning cables. The Wife brought one of these cables, which I bought, for her business trip and it died on her. Horror of horrors!! She had to look high and low for an alternate certified Lightning cable at the hotel and with her office colleagues. I got quite an earful from that incident.

So no more. I bought the Tylt Syncable Lightning Cable at the recent IT Show to help with the charging cable management. The length is 1 meter. The quality of the Tylt cable is quite good.

I am using this 1 meter cable with the Bluelounge Sanctuary4 for local charging. There is another Tylt Lightning cable which I will give to The Wife for her business trips. Its a Syncable Duo, which I will write in my next blog.

In the mean time, here are the unboxing photos:

I blogged about the Apple OEM 15W 4-USB Desktop charger here. Although a good product to have around the house, it presents a messy problem. USB Cables are all over the place. From the photo below, I've used only 2 ports and it is already an eyesore. 

Cables, cables, all over.

I bought the Bluelouge Santuary4 to replace the Apple 4 USB Port cable messy problem from Omigo. The normal price for the Santuary4 is SGD139 but there is a 20% off. So the final price is SGD111.20 which is a good deal. Because it is a local website, I ordered on the 17th Nov 2014 and it arrived the next day.

Here are the unboxing photos.

To charge multiple devices simultaneously. 4th version?

Box: Side. There is a stand for iPad

The item itself. The top panel is covered with a soft material to
protect the mobile devices.

The plug with additional adaptors.

It comes with a complimentary Micro USB cable. Nice!!

A short cable, just nice.

The charging unit is below the panel.

Cables connected. The panel goes on top...

..mobile devices go on top. Cables hidden.

I do not know why Bluelounge labeled this as the 4th version / generation Sanctuary. There was only one previous Sanctuary.

The Sanctuary Version 1.

Bluelounge provided dedicated charging cable for the Sanctuary Version 1. There are a couple of redundant cables here.

Charging cable.

And also, there was the Refresh

Charging cables are less but still dedicated.

But it seems a bit cramped?

So I can see the Sanctuary4 is a combination of both the 1st Sanctuary and the Refresh. They have done away with the dedicated cable and provided a bit more space, including catering for tablets by provided a back stand. Overall, a good product from Bluelounge with a lot of consideration given for their users.
