How flexible is the cable? Other cables put lateral stress on the micro USB port, so I'm hoping this is more flexible

As soon as this cord bends near where the cord meets the port it shorts out. At least both of mine did like 2 days after I bought them.

I haven't run into any flexibility problems with this cable. The only problem I run into with cables of this type is the connector is too large to fit into some USB ports. This cable has not had that problem so far.

It's not particularly flexible. If I had to put it on a scale of one to ten where 1 is stiff, and 10 is flexible, I'd say this is a 3 or 4.

In my experience this cable has made my micro usb port unusable. I had to buy a new port and install it. I would suggest a different cable.

Yes, it is flexible, like a normal HDMI cable, but you can´t blend in 90° on corners, also in curve style.

Connectors are somewhat stiff but not overall a pain like others. Overall I would rate the stiffness adequate and secure. Cables are not as stiff to move around and route in the case. Overall I am satisfied.

I dont see why not all android is micro usb. This cable is really well made and i absolutely love mine.

Yes, it really is mini-USB to micro-USB. I've noticed conflicting information coming from other customers, so maybe a bad batch somehow got out there, but all I can tell you is that I ordered this cable as mini-to-micro USB, received it as mini-to-micro USB, and used it almost everyday as mini-to-micro USB. Edit: It appears to be only one customer who received the wrong order (which happens to be twice in a row), so I am now almost certain that they are right now going through a batch of incorrect cables. You could order it right now, and then return it if it is the wrong one (from my experience, Amazon's customer service is excellent and very well organized); or you could wait a few weeks/months before ordering it to make sure they deplete the bad batch.

It's not stiff at all. It's very flexible. On the flip side, I've had issues with my controller not charging while plugged in, and frequent game interruptions because the PS3 thought my controller was unplugged (which it wasn't).

Yes, the cable is very thin and fragile for the price given. The most area where I am experiencing the problem is the headphone jack area. I've just ordered couple of heat shrink tubes, which I will use to reinforce the headphone jack area. The earphone connection part is actually more sturdier then competing brands so I think, if any problem were to occur, it will be the headphone jack area.

Your port is on the bottom and middle, it'll do great.. There is right and left movement of the charge connection so even if the port is off center it would still rest nicely on the rubber rest. The older phone models that have charge ports on the upper area are the ones that wont have propper support.

The cable is very flexible, however, the connector itself has no real give. I would recommend a 1 1/2" to 2" clearance in the rear of the TV if mounting on a wall (alternatively, many TVs now have recessed I/O panels on the rear for just this reason). Ultimately, if mounting to a wall, I would recommend a right-angle HDMI cable. Finally, I have used many cables over the years, these Blue Riggers are the best and at the best price. Buy 2-packs and save. There is always a new need for an HDMI cable of whatever length. Good luck!

It is flexible. Depending on what application however, the adhesive back may not 'stay' ie if curved or angled.

I believe so but there's not as much support on the plug, so be carful with it as its not made as well as other USB cables.

It's a pretty loose fit. I find mine will only stay in if the USB cable is plugged in, snug and secure.Overall not a great investment.

I think it is like micro HDMI, not micro USB, the connector for HDMI and USB are different.

Try trimming the plastic around the usb connector. I noticed that depending on which cable I use some fit tight and others are loose. By trimming a little of the plastic around the hole for the connector, now all the cables I have plug in all the way and are no longer loose.

Yes the rear USB port works alot better than the one on the front. If it still doesn't want to read your USB than you might want to buy a different one. I've had that happen to me before.

Yea but dont bend it might stop working if you bend it anywhere on the cable
