With a sliding weighted knot, this long cable won't slip behind furniture or hard-to-reach places the second you unplug your phone. Although it's not a budget cord, reviewers said it will last over time and is super handy when traveling or charging your phone from bed.

Promising review: "I purchased this product a few years ago from the Apple store and loved it. I needed two more and purchased them from Amazon. The knot moves along the cord allowing you to put the weight where you need it so that the cord doesn't slip onto the floor or get forgotten when you leave a hotel room! It's not inexpensive but lasts a long time and the length is perfect for plugging my device in while sitting comfortably (instead of hovering near the outlet!).
