Belkin MIX IT LIGHTNING SYNC/CHARGE

I bought this 2 days ago, because my previous cable broke after years of using it. I always charge my phone when I am sleeping. This morning, I needed to wake up earlier for online registrations. However, since the phone died, I was not able to wake up on time and missed the registration! This charger does not work at all, whether I connect to a dock or to my computer! Very terrible and will not purchase again.

A few days ago I bought this charger when another one of mine broke, when I plugged it into my phone the battery continuously went down until the phone DIED. All while still being plugged in. So, I kept the phone plugged up all night. DID NOT CHARGE OR TURN ON ONCE! Continued to keep it plugged in for half the day, still, DID NOT CHARGE! I'm very disappointed. The phone would show that it was being charged, but wouldn't go up at all. 100% don't recommend this charging cable. To be plugged up all night and all day and still not charge at all, just horrible in my opinion! I was on the road to buying a whole new battery for my phone bc I thought the charger was fine, but sure enough, the charger was to blame for everything bc once I tried another charger, the phone charged right up. VERY disappointed. Money wasted!

I bought this charger last February as a replacement for my apple charger. However, just after 5 months of a little wear and tear without frayed wires and obvious damages, it has finally given up on me. I actually thought that this would last longer than my original charger because of its durable feel. Kinda sad if you think of it because it charges really fast and is really of high quality to the touch. Thank you for the past 5 months though. :( sad but I would definitely buy again!

Full disclosure: I was sent this product to review. This is a great cable. The lightning cables have been around for years now so there isn't really anything new or innovative that makes this product stand out. But it is well made and feels durable. It's a great length and it works as you would expect it to. One thing that does impress me is that the plastic end with the lightning adapter is identical to the end of an official Apple cable. I've had a few third party lightning cables over the years and every one of them had a longer and usually fatter lightning adapter end. Sometimes an Apple cable would fit through the hole in a case to charge my phone but a third party cable wouldn't. In this case, Belkin's cable is just as capable as an original lightning cable. This is the first time I can remember thinking that anyone has made a cable as good as the one provided with the iPhone. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

I bought this around 3-4 months ago and it's already frayed on the part that goes into the iPhone and now doesn't work at all. I never didn't anything that could have done this myself.
