Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is a welcomed addition to my growing collection of iPhone charging cords. Given their performance so far, and I have tested all (5), my collection may be smaller very soon. Compared to my original Apple iPhone cord this is a definite improvement. As many know, the factory phone cords you usually start with are rubber and plastic. To say they do not last is the understatement of the century. These cords are better because: 1. The cord itself is a braided threaded material which, in my experience, is much more resilient, allowing for greater movement and dexterity of positions without creating breaks or worn/thinning areas. 2. My favorite part is the hardened plastic endcaps where the connectors are. My biggest pet peeve was always that no matter how careful you are the points where the connectors meet the cords will wear quickly and break. This is the first time I have seen construction that has a good chance of actually lasting for awhile. 3. The product description does claim that these cords will charge your phone faster. So far I would agree. I would say that on average my phone charging was cut down by at least 1-2 hours depending on how much was needed. 4. If you happen to live in a home with limited outlets, which, these days, it seems closet space and outlets are usually in short supply, a 10ft charging cord becomes your new BFF. If for no other reason I would purchase these for the 10ft cord alone. Especially since I have paid for (1) cord what I paid here for (5). I would definitely recommend you give these a try. Only time will tell if this love affair will last, but crazier things have happened in the tech world. I will update if anything significant, good or bad, happens.
