Customers find the charging cable durable with a reliable braided material and appreciate its commercial-grade construction. The 6-foot length is convenient, and customers like its nylon braiding, with one noting it has survived over a year of harsh treatment. The cable functions well and offers good value for money, while its flexibility allows it to be bent into shape without breaking. The charging speed receives mixed feedback - while some report quick charging with no issues, others experience intermittent charging problems.

Braided design works better than plastic but keep an eye on the battery charge indicator.
4 out of 5 stars
Braided design works better than plastic but keep an eye on the battery charge indicator.
I like the braided design as compared to the plastic one which started to wear out fairly quickly. I bought a heat gun and some shrink tubing to use on them, like another customer did. Shrink tubing has prevented damage to the braided cable so far, but I am getting audible tones and if I don’t pay attention to the battery symbol on my iPhone, the charge will drop. I rarely get the incompatible message, or I just haven’t been able to catch it yet as often as I have with other offbrand cables. This occurred after only having used the reinforced new cable for a few days. I get the feeling this is common among all cables. I am using these to replace worn out Apple cables. My son said his Apple cables wear out quite frequently. I still like the braided reinforced cables because they do not curl and wear out as fast as the others. Though they still did not last long. It is a wonder that any cable would, considering all the stress it has to go through. Plus I bought the shorter cable which obviously doesn’t have as much to curl up and kink. I’ll be glad when Amazon designs and sells a wireless connection between the Android/iPhone and battery. Then no more cables to wear out. April 16, 2018. Three months since I have bought the cables. I have been using one consistently every day and considering all the wear and tear it goes through, I guess I can’t expect the cable to last forever. My iPhone just recently started giving errors and showing the battery symbol has been disconnected. Time to switch to the second table I bought. Let’s see how long this one lasts. I usually carry my Anker power bank in my back pocket connected with this cable to my iPhone that I carry in my front pocket. The cable does tend to get twisted, but I do try to keep it straight. This cable also has the same shrink tubing that I applied to the first table when I bought them.

    **🌟🌟🌟🌟 Elegant and Reliable – A Chic Cable for My Apple Devices!**

    I recently got the Amazon Basics Nylon Braided Lightning to USB-A Cable in Rose Gold, and I’ve been so impressed! Its 6-foot length has been perfect for charging my iPhone while lounging on the couch or in bed—no more feeling tethered to the wall. The nylon braid feels sturdy and durable, which gives me confidence that it will last much longer than standard cables.

    The rose gold color adds a touch of elegance, making it a step above the plain old white cables. While it’s disappointing that the product seems unavailable right now, I can understand why—it’s such a reliable and stylish accessory. For anyone who can get their hands on it in the future, I highly recommend it! 😊

    There is several reasons why I keep buying this cord, and brand! First off, I wanted something that was not flimsy and needed something that will hold up to some wear and tear, being in a pocket or a back pack. After some research, because I don't just purchase something without reading accurate reviews from people, I settled with this brand. Reasons being it is rugged looking and feeling, it comes wrapped up in a little flimsy type cardboard box, but who cares, the cord itself had this layer of braided nylon that gives it a little more extra help on the times it may be tugged on. They have a variety of options for length from 10ft to 3ft. I have bought several kinds of length and I have never had one issue as of yet, and it's been probably several years of having one to a few weeks to my newest one that I keep in each vehicle to charge and connect to my car's radio. It charges pretty quickly, so it's definitely holding up to its "lightning" charging capabilities. I would highly recommend this cord to anyone looking for a replacement.

    I was recently browsing through my previous Amazon orders to scope out items that I still have to today and came across this braided cord that I purchased in February of 2017 as well as some other cords that were purchased around the same time. It is now January 2021 and this braided cord is my trusted cord for in-car charging and has barely lost its shape/effectiveness. I highly, highly recommend this cord, seriously.

    I originally ordered this cord because the braided material seemed more reliable than the typical rubber you get with the OEM Apple cables or the simple gas-station ones and that turned out to be the case. IIRC, Amazon Basics was still relatively new to the general market back in 2017 so this was a bit of a 'gamble' but I figured that Amazon would stand by its product or its warranty, whichever came first worst case. I am glad to say that I have not had any issues whatsoever with this cord unlike the other ones I mentioned earlier that were ordered around the same time and have completely escaped my memory because they are no more!

    PROS:
    Cost effective
    Durable material
    'Stylish'

    CONS:
    Cannot think of any

    I bought this because I have had an issue with all previous chargers breaking by the plug near the phone. Because this was made of braided cord material, it lasted significantly longer than other chargers but after a year/two or so, it broke. The 6ft cord was a great addition because as a college student, the outlets in my dorm room are not always conveniently located so the long cord made it easy to charge my phone from different locations. This is ideal for college students who experience this struggle or anyone with an outlet far from their desk or bed. The gray color was also a change of pace from the typical Apple white chargers so that was a nice touch too. Would recommend although the durability could be improved given that it is a braided cord texture.

    This is one of the best chargers I’ve ever had! I purchased 2 of these to replace off-brand car chargers that had seen better days. As always, this shipped immediately and I had it in 2 days.

    Pros: color, this is a really nice gray - has a Velcro closure on it to keep cord together when you wind up the charger - you can remove the Velcro closure if desired (and put it back on!!) - it’s super sturdy and durable, this can withstand everyday use without seeing wear and tear quickly - the price was GREAT for the quality of the product - **<opinion> maybe it’s just me, but this charged my phone at the same speed or faster as the standard Apple charger that comes with the phone** - the cord is somewhat stiff and not as flimsy as the standard charger, it can (mostly) hold a shape when bent

    Cons: N/A

    If anything comes up within the next 6 months - I will update this review.

    This thing has survived my dog. He has a large, fluffy happy tail that catches everything and anything and whips it about the room—cables, books, cats. This cable gets caught and just ripped out of the wall. He is also clumsy af because his legs are too long for his body. So his legs get tangled up in it as well. This happens multiple timed a week and this thing is still charging and chugging along. It works just like new even if it is a little beat up.

    My dog doesn’t chew on cables so I can’t speak to that durability though one of the cats did decide to pull it out of the wall just to be a jerk.

    I love the length as well. Recommend getting one that’s long so you have more flexibility as to where to keep your phone while it charges. Even if it isn’t your main (as it is mine), it’s good to have.

    I’ll probably get more to keep in various places so I don’t have to keep moving it from plug to plug. And when it decides to short out because it must at some point, right?

    Cable largo y resistente, cumple perfectamente con su cometido, ya no hace falta estar pegado al enchufe mientras usas el móvil en carga. Un precio muchísimo más asequible que los del propio Apple. Yo lo he comprado en dos colores para que los podamos distinguir en casa, ambos son muy bonitos y van perfectos. Muy recomendable.

    A few reviewers mention getting “device not supported“ messages when using this and other non-Apple cables. However I have experienced the same problem with original Apple Lighting cables so I wasn’t put off buying this product. It’s odd that only Apple devices produce such messages. I’ve had many micro USB connected devices and never had “device not supported” messages. A cynic might suggest that it’s a ruse perpetrated by Apple to coerce you into buying their cable at three times the price. Heaven forbid!

    This product seems well made with a braided cable and a strengthened connections at each end. The lightning pin fits snuggly in the iPad/iPhone socket. So far it’s working well.

    I have run some tests with a USB volt/amp meter at the charger end and a charger testing App on my iPad. This 1.8 metre Amazon cable showed the amps out of the charger barely changed at the iPad. However two different 1 metre Apple original cables showed a 65% loss. I rest my case.
