Just got back from home bargains and they are selling Salkin reversible micro USB cables for £1.29. The exact same ones are selling for £9.99 at mobilefun. ( Note: the micro USB side is reversible, not the standard USB end)
They seem to work as intended so I went back and bought 4 more.
If you find it a daily annoyance that you have to line up your charging cable then this might be for you - if not, then keep calm and carry on :)

I don't get why people are skeptical of these. I bought one on pre-order from a chinese store and my mates were skeptical - I was fully confident in them.
I received them shortly after release date and they worked as I thought they would. My mates tried them and were still baffled by them and refused to believe it - even after trying and belived it would break the Micro USB port on their phone.
Still using them and unlike some, they're Qualcomm Fast Charge compatible.
£1.29 is a steal!

I think you should change the description to USB-C as that's the only reversible one, not for 90 of micro USB devices

Nope you're wrong, fully reversible micro USB cables have been created where both ends are reversible. Go look it up on YouTube so you can see how it works. The cable in this deal is reversible and is NOT USB-C

USB-C was designed as a reversible interface from the ground up. Not microUSB, but the termination at the end of this cable has a clever design which enables reversible pairing at the microUSB end without damaging the port.
This is definitely a microUSB cable, but one which allows reversible pairing owing to its unique design.

don't think these are usb-c, but proper micro USB.
