Anyone found a good, retractable USB to iPad cable?

Good as in, it actually charges from the OEM plug-in adapter, has a retraction mechanism which holds up over time, and a case which doesn't break?

Right, the Orion was targeted for cheap construction in the reviews, which is why I ruled it out.

The Retrak reviews were from 1) someone who mentioned the retractable cable as a "bonus" part of the product without reviewing it, 2) someone who bought it for someone else and thought it was cool, and 3) someone who thought the construction was cheap and worried about it holding up.

It's not clear whether the included cable is the iPod USB 2.0 Sync and Charge Cable or not. And that cable is available on Amazon, but not reviewed.
