Belkin 3m MIXIT Lightning to USB ChargeSync Cable, White

I have had this cable around 6 months and both ends are split and separated from the ends. This is the cable that I leave at home so the wear and tear on it is less than the one I carry with me. I am sadly disappointed. I have always paid the extra money for Belkin knowing that the will last.

I bought this product a week or so ago and it has already stopped working...it doesn't charge my phone now. I am very disappointed with this product and BRAND. I had many other brands I could have chosen from for charge cables, but I decided to choose Belkin since I THOUGHT their products were reliable and durable. Instead I spent A LOT of money on a charge cable that lasted less than a week. Not happy Belkin company. Will not purchase any of your products again in fear of paying quite a bit of money for a product that will only last you a very short amount of time.

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.]

This cable is on par with most of Belkin's premium aftermarket products. As with most cables, they either work or don't work. Of course this cable works and work with multiple iPhone and iPad versions. It's of a premium build, but you do pay for that premium price. It doesn't get the full 5-stars simply because of the monetary value as this is a competitive market when it comes to products such as this. That being said, the quality and build is as good or much better than the OEM cable that has come with my Apple products. I would still recommend this product.

Best cable I’ve ever owned. It is very very sturdy, stiffer than most third party cables but not at all too stiff to use, Connnectors and strain reliefs are professional grade, and I expect this cable to last a really long time. If you want a great quality cable--I would highly recommend this one. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
