Looks nice and it's well made but slow charging
This cable is unfortunately like many very cheap lightning cables and is not transmitting enough power to the device, the result it that it does charge but very slowly and only if the device is off. The power is too weak to charge an iPad Pro, using it at the same time means the battery will just drain even though it's plugged in. I have it connected to an iPhone 7 Plus and with the phone off it charges very very slowly.

Fed up with the original style plastic coated cables cracking or just snapping. I had a similar one to these before which I keep in the car and I can’t fault it. These appear to be the same design and quality with the addition of the 90° iPhone plug which makes so much more sense and doesn’t get in the way when holding the phone. Already my daughter has pinched one as her original cable has perished in about three months

Damaging
If you have an iPhone with fingerprint ID, don’t bother with these. As they are not MFi certified, they cause damage to the device whilst in charge. Most noticeably, the finger print is unrecognised whilst on charge and there are issues whilst typing. My phone works perfectly fine whilst plugged into an Apple charger, but these chargers mess with a lot of functions whilst on charge. I suppose they are alright if you charge over night and don’t use it whilst charging, but they could be causing long term damage from ‘dirty energy’. Buy with caution.

Long cable with robust construction
These are very long, good quality cables for the price (compared to buying an Apple version in the shops), and feel robust (heavy duty) enough to last a longer than Apple’s cables, through normal wear and tear.I would recommend them if you need an extra long cable to your charger.The sideways cable connections means the cable can be put out of the way, while resting, while having your phone/device on the side in an orientation to still read the screen (not sideways or upside down). The cable sticks out less too.

Pretty good
I like these long corded cables a lot. The ones that connect straight in the phone seem to wear out quite quickly if the wires bend about. This plugs in parallel to the phone so whilst the wires inside don’t bend as much it can get in the way if you are using the phone whilst on charge especially trying to manoeuvre your finger for finger print recognition. On the whole they are very good.

Durable, but didn’t last...
Not bad value for money, these cables have lasted approx 15 months before replacing after daily use.However the contacts have now degraded and will no longer charge, which is quite annoying. Long lasting durability, nothing has actually broken, they’ve just become much more less effective.The thing I liked about these was that they had an angle on them so the cable didn’t break at the traditional point.

Right angled heads should make these durable
I have only given the lead 3 stars for durability because I haven’t had it long so can’t answer that one! Time will tell... a great idea though to have right angled heads, I’m hoping these will last. Also the nylon leads show potential of not breaking. Fingers crossed

Sensible durable and convenient to use
It’s so much more convenient when the cable is at 90°! It’s likely to last longer too because the cable is in line with the iPad and not sticking out so much. I got long cables and am no longer restricted as before. They are better than the magnetic ones as they do stay connected (the magnetic ones (not 90°) broke away too easily, despite the magnet being quite strong.
