" ... Really liked this item, I’m not sure if mine was defective but I cannot use it off of it cord. ... It’s kinda the same feeling as using your phone while it’s plugged in, will have to buy an extra long cord to make this tolerable. ... "
" ... I do wish it were rechargeable so you could use it w/out a cord, but I do like it the way it is. ... "
" ... The device and cable manufacturers love this, though! ... so the stress point is on the adapter's tape-reinforced cable, instead of on the unit's connector. ... If you don't want to go this extreme, just use an 8" extender, loop the cable around and tape it to the back of the unit, with the jack hanging to the side, but still be carfull not to bend the male connector sticking out the side of unit (a right angle adapter would be better, in any case). ... "
