I won’t ever use another cord again. I’m really hard on cords. This one has lasted over a month with no wear and tear at all. I travel a lot and usually I see some signs of damage after only a week and after a month or two I usually have connection problems. This one looks like I just took it out of the box and no problems at all. Even if it only ends up lasting a month or two more, it’s still much better than any others I’ve ever bought.

I have been using this charging cable for the last 6 months and its so much better than the original cable that came with the phone. Its longer and much better built,, no wear and tear around the lightning connector or the USB plug. There has been no problem charging or syncing my phone (Iphone 7) with my laptop through itunes. Though its much pricey compared to other cables, i think its worth it given the material which looks long lasting.

The cable works as expected and appear to be indestructible such that the cable and fitting will not become stressed when reduced to a small size for storing.
The only reason I’m giving them a four is that
1.I haven’t has them long enough for a true stress test; 2. Amazon doesn’t allow one to re-rate over time; and 3. I’m tired of Amazon asking me to rate the item.
If Amazon wanted an honest response, they’d allow ratings over time for items sold at a higher-price point because the item clains to offer loon-term durability.

Pending any mishaps in the next few years, I’m thrilled to see this cable just WORKS and works extremely well. It’s durable, has great connection quality, and charges reliably. Yes you will pay for this privilege, but it appears to be worth it. Finally an end to the worthless junky imitator cables…
– Strain reliefs are molded elastomer – nice and grippy – Overall cable feels very “loose”. It doesn’t have any forced “binding” energy that contorts it into strange shapes. – Sheath doesn’t appear to be fraying even after a lot of intensive use.

I use this nearly every day in the car. It’s a couple feet long, but not too long to roll up and stash in a purse. While I’m not a big-on-pink person, the color is subtle and easy to find in a pocket. The woven nature of the cable seems to keep it from fraying so far, unlike many stiff plastic cables that have broken at the ends.

The lightning cable that came with my iPhone 6s was starting to fray, so I picked up this Belkin cable hoping it would be an improvement, So far, it has been.
It measures 9” longer than the OEM cable. I bent and tugged at both ends quite a bit, and all the connections looked strong. I plugged it into my phone, and it began charging without a problem. The aluminum casing at the connector was a bit thicker than the OEM cable, but it had no problem fitting through the opening in my phone’s aftermarket case.
The braided nylon jacket on the cable feels substantial, and I like the “extra-long strain relief…tested to withstand over 5000+ cycles during 180-degree cable bend test.” (The strain relief is located where the connector meets the cable; it looks like a sleeve over the cable). My original cable began to fray right at the end of the strain relief, where the cable exits, so this area is definitely a weak spot in the original design. Comparing the strain relief on each end of the Belkin to the standard cable, they look stronger and much more substantial. See my pics.
My one nitpick is the ad copy doesn’t explain how putting Kevlar inside the cable (rather than, say, using it as the jacket) makes the cable stronger. It also doesn’t say how the braided nylon jacket is any better than the jacket on the standard cable (though it does call it “abrasion-resistant.”) Only time will tell how well this cable holds up, though it looks and feels more substantial than the one that came with the phone. I will update my review if there are problems.

I love the Belkin USB Cable in Rose Gold. The price is a little steep when compared to other cables on the market but I believe this cable is worth it! I’ve been looking for a replacement charging cable for my car.
I drive a Chevy Traverse and love that it comes with a USB port built into the car; however, there is a design flaw in it’s location. The USB port is in the center dash compartment and either the phone stays in the compartment with lid close, or I drive with the lid open, or I close the lid on the cable so I can see my phone. The latter is how I use it and my current cable became damaged. I knew I needed something with a different material surrounding the wires and found the solution, so far, with this cable.
Most people will not use the cable for that purpose, but I would still recommend it to others. It’s flexible but also holds its shape. The ends are sturdy and thick due to the aluminum casing. It is slightly longer than the cable that came with my iPhone 6. It also charges just as fast as the standard issued cable. The rose gold is a soft pink and the perk to having this color is I don’t have to worry about the guys taking it.
*Edit 3/23/2017: After receiving this product, I also purchased the Amazon Basic equivalent for a family member. I can confidently say that the Belkin’s quality is far superior and it’s worth the extra money to purchase this charging cable.

Best iPhone charger I have ever purchased. Don’t waste your money on the cheap ones like I did. Go for a good one right off the bat and you will not be disappointed.

Me encantó, el color es muy bonito, desde que llegó la manera en la que venía empaquetada era bonita, podías apreciar que adquiriste algo de calidad. Funciona perfecto, yo lo uso para cargar vía USB desde una computadora mi celular y lo carga rápido, creí que tal vez no sería así por que no especifica en la caja que sea compatible con el Xs Max, pero lo es y funciona muy bien. Los materiales son de calidad, se ve a leguas que es un producto durable. Lo recomiendo y volveré a comprar de esta marca definitivamente.
