Griffin has unveiled a new BreakSafe magnetic USB Type-C breakaway power cable for the new MacBook.
Apple’s MagSafe connector has saved literally millions of laptops from destructions caused by tripping over one’s power cord. But with the introduction of USB-C on new MacBooks, this safety feature is absent. BreakSafe brings the safety and convenience back to newer MacBooks and other laptops with USB-C type connectors.
Griffin's quick-release magnetic connector plugs into your laptop’s USB-C port and safely disconnects from the rest of the cable when under stress or strain, like tripping over the power cord. The magnetic connector is only 12.8 mm deep so you can leave it plugged into your laptop’s USB-C port when not in use. You then use the included 6' USB-C cable with the your laptop's charger.
BreakSafe works with the new USB-C compatible MacBook and Chromebook Pixel laptops. It will be available to purchase in April for $39.99.

Now, if it were a right angle connector (as opposed to straight) so that the cable faced towards the rear of the device instead of protruding out to the side, I would definitely purchase it.
