Review: Griffin’s BreakSafe is the magnetic USB-C connection the 12-inch MacBook needs

<p>One of the most interesting accessories that came out of the Consumer Electronics Show (http://9to5mac.com/2016/01/04/magsafe-adpater-12-inch-macbook/) earlier this year was <strong>Griffin’s BreakSafe Magnetic USB-C Power Cable (http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-BreakSafe-Magnetic-Breakaway-MacBooks/dp/B01CQTK6GU?ie=UTF8&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=griffin%2520breaksafe&amp;tag=9to5g-20&amp;qid=1461455517)</strong>. As a 12-inch MacBook owner (and lover (http://9to5mac.com/2015/12/08/best-apple-product-2015-op-ed/)), one of the things I’ve missed the most with the machine is the MagSafe connection. Apple introduced the MagSafe technology 10 years ago, but thanks to the switch to a single USB-C connection, it is nowhere to be found on the ultra-slim MacBook.</p>
<p>That’s where Griffin’s BreakSafe comes in the. Retailing for $39.99 (http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-BreakSafe-Magnetic-Breakaway-MacBooks/dp/B01CQTK6GU?ie=UTF8&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=griffin%2520breaksafe&amp;tag=9to5g-20&amp;qid=1461455517), the BreakSafe is a six-foot-long magnetic USB-C cable. The BreakSafe brings the laptop-saving MagSafe technology that Apple users have to love to the 12-inch MacBook. And it does it surprisingly well, but it’s not perfect…</p>
