We in household seem to go through iphone cables quicker than toilet roll. Mainly due to my daughter getting over zealous with the cables whilst sat charging her ipad etc. We were honestly going through 1 a month at least of the braided type. I found these and wondered if they would stand up to the child test any better, I can report they do and they do it well! They are thicker cables and that instilled confidence straight away. but you can just tell with every part of the cable and connectors that they are very good quality. They have been thoroughly tested by us all and they are still like new and perform faultlessly. They also charge the phone and ipads up far faster than the older braided cables we bought. I would highly recommend these and will definitely buy them again if I need too (hopefully not).
