If you didn't think USB cables could get more flexible, I’m here to prove you wrong by telling you of the new ultra-portable Torso.

The invention is surely extremely versatile coming equipped with three legs and a bendable wire skeleton that can be arranged in a multitude of ways.

The Torso is a little over 4 inches / 100 mm long and is compatible with a wide range of Android phones and the iPhone.

What sets Torso apart from other similar offerings is its strong bendable legs. All users have to do is bend Torso and then plug it in the AC adapter in order to power up their devices. The invention can also act as a prop for your smartphone (tripod mode), allowing you to get some FaceTime with friends.

Torso’s creators have set up a Kickstarter project page with the goal of gathering $50,000 / €36,938 which has already been surpassed 10 days before the expiration date. So if you want to grab a Torso of your own, you can grab one for a meager $17 / €13.
