    I am looking for the 45 degree screw in USB cables. I only found one source, with shipping being more than the part...

    Wondering if any of the local resellers have these in a secret stash? Rob???? :D

    The 90 degree ones would be okay too, but the 45 degree go off to the side I want them too. I am wanting this to add some safety to my shop abused CF-19. I use multiple OBD2 adapters and need a solution that adds some protection to my USB ports.

    Is this what you want? I think these are custom made by mruggedmobile..I could not find them anywhere else. Those shipping rates are criminal.. They want $21.99 to ship one 9 inch usb cable from TX to PA..FedEx ground..... :nah:

    Yeah those are the ones... I think mruggedmobile has the monopoly on them. The top ebay llink ones I saw, but I like the mruggedmobile ones as they can actually be used to seal up the opening the way they are made. I may have to call in and see if they will do better shipping pricing. Cause that is just stupid. Still, $40 is almost worth it to protect my baby and give me that ultra clean look.

    Maybe I shoulda just bought damn OBD2 serial cables again....

    Now I like those non screw in ones below! Hummmm I can modify. Or maybe... Anyways the straight on ones are still $24 plus $5 for shipping, so only $10 less than the mruggedmobile ones. If he had charged just a little more for the part and only $5 for shipping, the shipping shock would't have made me dump my cart. Might have taken longer to convince myself I needed them...

    If you contact mruggedmobile, let us know what they say. I am curious.
    I agree, It would seem better if the part was $30. and shipping was $10.

    It wouldn't take much to fab up a little bracket to hold the non screw on one in place.

    I think $22.00 is there standard shipping charge. I was just checking what it would cost to ship 6 and the price only went up $2.00 to $24.00 so that being said you need a group buy...who needs one :D

    Might be worth asking for a quantity discount

    I like the 90 Degree USB Extension Cable myself and would take one of them if enough members got in on it...only 3 left in stock and 13 for the 45 Degree.
