The worst part is that original cables tend to be expensive, as you’ve seen here. Thus, it is necessary to know how to properly take care of this accessory, know how to use it and, of course, know how to use hacks that help prevent the cell phone cable from being damaged easily.

1. Wind The Wire Correctly

We often wind up the charger cord in any way, and this can damage the cord. To prevent this from happening, wrap it around your hand and not around the cable adapter. It’s a simple tip, and it helps a lot.

2. Fasten The Wire Correctly

To avoid bending the wire, fasten it at the middle of the circumference with Velcro or wire.

3. Secure The Cable With A Pen Clip

Do you have an inkless retractable pen? Use its innerspring for your cables protector. To do this, attach the upper part of the spring right at the beginning of the cable and wind the rest of the spring around the cable. This will avoid the frequent breaks in the inner wires that usually happen right at the wire ends.

4. Wrap The Wire

You can also wrap the charger cord with ribbon, string, or wool. In addition to decorating, you protect your charger by making it last much, much longer.

5. Use Cradle To Charge Your iPhone

The cradle makes the iPhone hang when it’s charging, thus preventing possible accidents when placed on the floor. Wrap the wire around the base so that no one steps in and damages your cable. This feature requires an investment, but several models are on the market, and their price is not high.

6. Choose A Charger With Flexible Cables

Are you going out and taking your charger just in case? Avoid throwing your cable in your bag or backpack. This can damage your charger if you pick up another object and pull the cord tightly together by mistake. The tip is to buy flexible chargers to carry in bags.

7. Store The Charger In A Glasses Holder

Another option for transporting your charger is to store it inside an old-fashioned eyeglass case. It will fit the cable and the base, ensuring the safety of your accessory.
