The package includes a "U" shaped data cable tailored for iPhones and iPads. The cable is 7.5 cm long, just the right length to keep the ZIKE storage magnetically attached to the back of your phone.
The ZIKE iPhone 15 Storage Solution measures approximately 58.97mm in length, 20.04mm in width, and 8.69mm in thickness. With the cable, it weighs about 17.4 g(0.038 lb).
