Customer Review: A Poor Design = Bad Quality Control
Summary: 2 Stars
I had the fortune of receiving this item as "free bonus" when purchasing my Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder (from another retailer) so I can't complain about my experience too much, but here is what I can tell you:
The Flip Video Camcorder's USB arm is supposed to plug into one end of the USB cable while the end plugs into a USB port on your computer.
The good news is that the USB cable fits perfectly into the USB port of the computer.
The bad news is to get the USB arm from the camcorder into any of the included USB Cables you have to struggle a bit. The same goes for removing the USB arm from the USB cable. It feels like eventually the USB arm will break off the camcorder.
The three (3) included USB cables are really multi-purpose. You can use them to extend any USB cable, but again you will struggle to plug in your device to the female end of the cable.
Because of the problems you are likely to encounter with the poor design, I am giving this only 2 Stars.

Customer Review: Nice to have with any FliP !
Summary: 4 Stars
I love the FliP product line, and own a MinoHD, Ultra,and Ultra HD.
I like the notion that you can use the cable when you are not in a rush-- sometimes I worry about plugging in the FliP to a USB ( not that I have had a problem..)
In general, I use this with a 17 inch Toshiba laptop, an an ACER netbook . I just feel better not having the camera hanging off either, unless I am on the fly.
This is an inexpensive item, and frequently is offered as a bonus/discount when getting a camera. I did not give this a 5 star as I agree with others- FliP could have included ONE cable.
I still find this to be of use, most every day. (just like the tripod!).
If you are in the mood , and funds available, this is a good thing. Not mandatory, but nice to have.
Customer Review: Complete rip-off
Summary: 2 Stars
These USB cords are a complete rip-off. Sure they work 100 percent the way they are supposed to but why are we forced to pay 15 dollars to have a reasonable method to hook the mino up to a computer? Sure you don't actually need this item/s, but without it, your mino will hang from the computer and probably eventually snap off and break. No thanks. So i'm forced to buy this multi color package, which i don't even want 3.. why in the world would i need 3? 2 of them are short and don't let the mino rest on the table but the 3rd is the longer one and will allow a normal hook up. I should have paid 5 dollars for 1...not 3. pointless. no wait, i shouldn't have paid anything, they should have included a usb cord with the actual product. greedy corporations strike again. awesome camera, overpriced assessories.Customer Review: Glad I bought them
Summary: 4 Stars
I am hooking up my flip to a tower so I needed a USB so it would not hang. I do believe they are too tight but they do loosen up over time. I hold the USB firmly and rock it back and forth while pulling and it will come apart from the flip. I have never had a problem with it disconnecting from my computer. There are three sizes so no matter where your USB plug is the Flip shouldn't be hanging off of your tower. My daughter has a bunch of pink for her computer so I gave her the pink USB with no complaints.
True the company could have put a USB in with the flip but I am not bothered by it.
So I give this product 4 stars because of the tightness.
Customer Review: Designer Cables and Good Quality
Summary: 5 Stars
As Flip becomes an iconic name just as the iPod did, only genuine accessories bearing the designer label will do for the fashion conscious user. Luckily, Flip produce their own USB cables in bright colors. The pack includes three USB extension cables for all applications. Use a single cable to connect your Flip to a notebook, use two for a tower with a front port and all three, connected in a daisy chain, to connect to a rear socket. Put the cables back in their box when not in use, and put the box on your bookshelf so it is always handy. Not to mention the cables are of a high quality, and one gets all three for only fifteen dollars.
