Mine fell while weed eating at my in-laws a few weeks ago. Was hanging out at my wife's uncles and noticed it was missing. Got my wife's phone and entered my info. Was at the corner of my in-laws camper. Love this feature.
Could use one of these when on the boat.

I have bought the black 6ft. cables from Amazon. (2pk. for 9.99) Have had no problems with them. Actually bought a second set after my wife got her an iPhone 4.
