    This cord did not fit well. It was too tight. After I plugged it in I could hardly get it out. I returned it before it could break my phone jack.

    Worked ok for a while but before a year started failing. While it was stationary in a vehicle it managed to start shorting out. Has become very undependable.

    USB-A size isn't standard; will ruin your device

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The USB-A end was a tiny bit larger than it should have been, although not to the naked eye. It fit into the phone but rather snuggly at first. I thought it was because it was new, but after 2 weeks of use it destroyed the receiving port in the phone. These are supposed to be a standard size, so why did it crush the interior port on my phone? Now the phone can't be charged and all the data is probably lost.

    The cable USB C connection part is highly inflexible and is therefore difficult to plug into the horizontal port -- it wants to remain vertical. This kind of stress will wear it out prematurely.

    The cable no longer stays plugged in and wobbles back and forth when barely touched. Problematic when I'm using it to connect my phone to my car and run Android Auto. I thought my phone was broken so I took it to a repair shop. They said it was fine and to try a different cable. Sure enough, the new cable was fine.
