Apple's MagSafe connector has saved literally millions of laptops from destructions caused by tripping over one's power cord. But with the introduction of USB-C on new MacBooks, this safety feature is absent. Griffin's new $39.99 BreakSafe brings the safety and convenience back to newer MacBooks and other laptops with USB-C type connectors.

The quick-release magnetic connector (patent-pending) plugs into your laptop's USB-C port and safely disconnects from the rest of the cable when under stress or strain, like tripping over the power cord.

The streamlined magnetic connector is only 12.8 mm deep so you can leave it plugged into your laptop's USB-C port when not in use. Use BreakSafe's included 6' USB-C cable with the USB-C charger that came with your laptop. It will be coming to market on April 25. If it helps, view in on this CNET Video. Griffin.
