Read this if your cables don't fast charge
My first impression of these cables was very good. The nylon braid makes them feel very durable, and the leather fastener is a nice touch to keep the cables organized. (It looks much nicer than the bread ties I usually use) When I plugged in my phone (Galaxy S8) I noticed something was off. When I plugged this cable and my phone into the official Samsung charger, I did not get the "Fast Charging" message at the bottom of my screen. I tried plugging them into my computer, and my phone did not show up to sync. After some fiddling, I noticed that my phone was able to connect when I held the cable tightly in place. On a whim, I tried sanding down the end of the USB-C end, and that allowed the cable to seat properly into my phone's port. (When doing this, make sure to hold the cable level) This is not something that I should have to do in order to use a cable, but it is a relatively easy fix for a cable that may seem "broken"
