Overall, I was happy with this product the first 6 months with its outer nylon sheath however now the cable is starting to intermittently charge. I realized that the lighting connector is not secure in the housing and moves around a lot. Stopped using it because it feels like it’s going to break off inside my iPhone.

It’s 10/13/19 and the cords shot already ..
Plug it in and nothing so since it’s a iPhone lighting cable u can flip it a 180 degrees and plug it in and still no work , hope this isn’t a sign of what’s to come because a week later I bought a second Native union belt cable , same cable different color ....
6x stronger than ?
I guess we’ll see how the limited lifetime warranty works ,

I only had it for 5 days beside my bed, and the part that sticks into my iPhone got stuck in my iPhone and I had to pull it out with pliers. Very disappointed, the cord appeared heavy duty and of good quality. I got it extra long so it wouldn’t be bending. It even mentioned that the cord was made for bending.

Cord was used only at night for charging one iPhone. It was carefully re-rollled every morning. Adult use only, no rough kids....then one night it just wouldn’t charge. Close inspection revealed that one of the 9 little gold things on the phone end had come off rendering the cord useless.

The cable is good in overall design and quality but the one i have Here doesn’t fit the charging port on my phone so if it’s not held right it doesn’t charge. Rather annoying as i just opened it after my return window closed so I’m stuck with an expensive cable that doesn’t charge unless held in properly

So far I have nothing at all negative to say about this cable. I bought this as a replacement for a 10' cord that bit the dust after 6 months.
Here are the pros:
1. 10' cable length - contrary to what I have heard from some, there isn't a noticeable power loss going from a 6' cord to a 10'. Plenty of through-power to charge my iphone with a quickness.
2. Braided - These are the only cables I will buy now. Braided are the best...hands down.
3. Rugged construction - the jacks on both ends are rugged and extremely durable. I am fairly tough on charging cables and this one has held up remarkably well. I haven't even noticed any real signs of wear yet.
The price is a little prohibitive, but you get what you pay for in this case...very much so. 100% recommend.

My favorite Lightning USB Charging Cable

I love this charger because it is heavy duty and charges faster than any other cable I have had - Apple cord does not come close to the Native Union cord. I wanted to buy a second cord; however, they are expensive. Therefore, I purchased a much cheaper cord on Amazon (the reviews of the Amazon cord were not great but not horrible either). What a major disappointment! I immediately went out and purchased a second Native Union. Don't waste your time - on-line the Native Union was expensive as well. You will not be disappointed.

It’s really long and very tough. It features a very hard but flexible reinforced coating and reinforced ends that tend to break and fray with regular apple lighting cables. They also make a shorter version. If you need an extra long cord, this is the one!

I'm a IT professional and don't mind paying up for quality. This is the beefiest Lightning cord I've ever owned. I bought three of these and my wife loves the Zebra 10' one. Let's see how long they last..

A great durable cord

I use this cord primarily in my living room, primarily. It is great, because the outlet I use is fairly far away, so I'm able to barge by phone and still have it next to the sofa. I also use it for trips because you never know how far a plug may be in a hotel or st someone else's house.
The cord itself is VERY durable. It is the braided kind, and seems like it can take some wear and tear. There is also a smal leather strap that is attached to the cable so you can keep the cord tidy.

I needed a slightly longer cable and this one is perfect. It's stylish, folds easily, and the attached closure is a nice addition. I like that I can put it in my purse or bag and it won't get damaged.

The length of this charger is great! My family often asks me to borrow it during the day. I have a cat and he has tried chewing it several times already. This cable is durable and still works.
