    It worked for several months and then it stopped

    I bought this back in January. It worked amazingly for several months. Up until about a month ago and it just stopped working. It says it has a 1 year warranty on it, but I no longer have my receipt. I wish I could return it and get another one. Is there a way?

    I bought one of these for my grandson. Then my son and his girlfriend both wanted one so I got them each one for Christmas. They love them!

    I bought this charger for a spare and ended up using it as a daily charger. It fits with LifeProof cases which is an awesome bonus

    Average non-apple charger

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

    This charger is cool, it lights ups however, like every non-apple charger I have owned...they break. My charger still works however it is falling apart and needs tape around the head that plugs into your phone. It has cracked right down the middle through the very thin plastic. The cord itself is nice, why cant people make decent connectors when we pay $20 bucks for them? Overall, I would not recommend this product. If you are willing to spend $20 bucks for a new charger every week then you are in luck. The box also says 1-year warranty but there is no way to contact the company and best buy wants nothing to do with it. Cool at first, but 5 days later...

    Does not work

    Going into Best Buy to buy the 2m apple charger (which they did not have) I settled for this one since it has a light down the middle. Cheap and cool. At this point I'm desperate for a charger because my phone had been dead for 24 hours. Went all the way home and the charger lit up for 10 seconds then completely shuts off. Doesn't even charge my phone. I am highly disappointed.

    shorted out within a couple weeks

    I bought two of these at Best Buy in store (first mistake was not researching for what price to pay for a lightning cable, since these were overpriced). I tested them both, and they both worked, so I threw out the receipt. There was my second mistake. Third mistake was giving the blue one to my husband, because that one still works. It's actually pretty cool and, like a cat, he likes the moving lights. The white and blue one I kept for myself quit working after about two weeks. It repeatedly turns on and off as soon as you plug it in. Now Best Buy won't take it back.

    Fast charging cable, large USB plug.

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

    I needed a new lightning cable after my previous one became frayed and this one was on sale. Two months in and it still works great, but be warned that the USB plug is rather big, so big that it obstructs me from plugging into my car charger. Also, the two pieces that join to cover the actual USB plug can be easily broken, as mine is currently wrapped with Scotch tape to keep it on. My only true problem with this cable though is that the charging lights are quite bright when charging your phone at bed time, and I often have to cover it.

    I'm really disappointed that it stopped working so quickly. It was great for a few months and now lights wont work and it barely charges my phone at all. My apple cords from 5 years ago still work fine...this is a dud. I was looking online to see if there's any warranty and I could not find anything...and I happened upon a number of reviews that had the same problem as I did. Something needs to be fixed!!

    Short lasting fun

    This cord was cute and functional for about 4months. It developed a shortage near the base of the USB port, which I doubt was caused by "normal wear and tear"; I used it as a car charger and besides plugging my phone in, I hardly moved it. Luckily it comes with a warranty and I was able to replace it for a roped cable cord which I hope will last much longer.

    Worst Buy

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

    This charger was a waste of money. Ive been through more I phone charger than boyfriends and this one has been the worst. If you have and iphone 5 or 6, then you have probably been through plenty of Apple chargers. I personally have had six since I've had my phone. i couldn't take anymore of theirs, so i went out and bought this one. My dad has 2 of these and I was turned on to the glow and the color so I got one too. The first time i got this charger it lasted less than a month. i thought maybe i just got a bad one so i exchanged it for another. The second charger lasted about two months before it started messing up again. Not only that, but it started to fall apart and i ended up having to duck tape the plastic around the USB plug and the part that goes into the phone. This charger is NOT WORTH THE MONEY. It is CHEAPLY made and was not at all what I was expecting from this company.

    Short-Lived Product

    Well, I've had this product since 7/1/15 and thought it was amazing, creative and ideal. Two days ago, I noticed that it started flashing sporadically and as of today, 8/15/15, it no longer works, period. That's my story. Blah. This now has to be returned via the manufacturer and let me add, I am very careful with my cords even more so than most. Pretty sad.

    Terrible quality

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

    Bought the first charger, brought it home and opened it to find the part that plugs into the block (the USB port side) was broken in half! Exchanged it for a new one. The day after bringing the new one home only about the first 2 inches coming out from the plug would "light up." After that. the charge started to go. I'd have to plug, unplug, and re-plug to get anything to charge. After being plugged in for about ten minutes, it will stopped charging. I have to unplug everything, replug it in and try to manipulate the phone into charging again. So much hassle. No reason for a $20 charger to work for less than three weeks!!!
