CES 2016: Griffin's BreakSafe adapter solves the MacBook's MagSafe deficiency

Mac Users have long enjoyed the benefits of the MagSafe adaptor for their notebooks. Last year's new MacBook used a USB Type-C port for charging and connectivity but did not inherit its bigger sibling's MagSafe connectors (because of the nature of USB Type-C). Thankfully, Griffin has gone ahead and remedied this for users who simply use the port for power and charging and who miss the convenience and safety that MagSafe offers.

The BreakSafe adapter (US $39.99),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.

You can use BreakSafe’s included 6’ USB-C cable with the USB-C charger that came with your laptop. This solution works with the new USB-C compatible MacBook and Chromebook Pixel laptops.
