Has anyone found a neat solution for a USB-C cable that allows the charging area lid to close nicely? I am currently charging the phone using a genuine Apple USB-C to lightning cable, but the USB-C end stands a little to high in the port and catches the lid as you close it. 

 

Trying to locate a 90 degree lead, which is also short is proving tricky, and some of the 90 degree adapters you can get are also too tall.

You might find it easier to go for a 90 degree elbow + a seperate short lead.

Thanks - I've ordered a 90 degree extension lead and a stubby charge cable to see if this works.

I'm using one of these, works well so far.

This would be OK, but would be more useful if the usb A was a female connector.

You could try this.

In the end, I bought a 13cm USB C to lightning cable off amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08NJVXYVN/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) 

 

I also bought a short USB C right angle extension cable. The goal was for me not to need to stuff a long cable up into the cubby hole, I just wanted to plug in the phone and go. It works well, it doesn't catch the lid anymore. 

 

This is all for my MIB 3 system BTW.
