I just purchased the 3-pack NetDot magnetic cables and USB connectors and they work very well for my Kobo Clara and Android phone. No issues at all or having to plug them in a certain way for syncing to my Mac.

The magnets hold well but it's also easy to disconnect the cord. One does have to be careful because if you jostle or bump your device it's likely you'll inadvertently disconnect the magnetic cord at a time when you're connected to your computer syncing or downloading.

Unfortunately the magnetic USB connector + cable doesn't work at all on my Kindle Fire HD 8 model (2017), and that Kindle Fire port is very susceptible to failure--it's a known problem with Kindles. So I'm disappointed the magnetic solution won't allow the Kindle Fire to charge.
