TL;DR 1.5 m cable, instead of 1 m. Color-matched and braided.

    Honestly, too long. I think 8” really is the sweet spot. I hate long cables!

      There’s no way an 8 inch cable works for you. 8 inches wouldn’t even span the distance from my car charger to a phone clamp or from my computer to my desk.

      3 ft is barely tolerable for me. 6 feet gives me enough room to move my phone around.

        8 would work for my desk, my car, my bed and the one that sits on my counter. 3ft is too much cord and I end up with a lot hanging. 6ft is definitely too much.

        Then again I don’t use anything when it’s charging, so my use case is out of the norm

      After taking a cursory look of where plugs are located in my house, I think I’ll have to put my phone on the floor when I charge it if the cable is only 20cm long. 80cm is the minimum to be able to put the phone in a table while charging.

      Edit: disregard that, the plugs are 30cm above the floor so my phone would be hanging by the cable.

      Most chargers aren’t plugged into a place where you can conveniently lay your phone down 8" away.

      I’m inclined to say your opinion is wrong.
