Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with the durability and length of the Apple MFi Certified 4.9' Lightning USB Charging Cable, with many positive comments highlighting its sturdy build and convenient length. Some customers also appreciate the warranty offered. However, a few customers reported issues with charging performance and considered the cable expensive. The price point and occasional charging problems appear to be the main drawbacks.

    The feel of the cable was great, except it after 8 months of use with no visible damaged

    I bought three of these for my family members. Out of the three, two of the lightning tips broke off. I am still using the third. I contacted Nomad and they did replace them. Unfortunately, they have both stopped charging, but the tips stayed on. Very disappointed as these had high reviews.

    Very simple. The length is great but I am not able to use this cable while my phone is inside of my Otterbox. That ruins everything for me. I would never recommend such a cable and intend on returning it for that reason alone.

    This charger is absolute garbage; don't buy it. I have never written a review about anything before, ever. I am very frustrated because it broke 37 days after purchase, outside of my 30 day window. I expected more from a braided charger. This charger sat in my car and I occasionally used it, but always kept it attached to the same plug. The cord I replaced with this one lasted me probably 2 years ( different manufacturer). If you buy, make sure to get the extended warranty.

    Today this cord simply stopped working overnight. Sad for under a year use. Used another cord, IPH7+ charged. If advertised as “rugged” etc., should last more than a year with “normal” use.

      Hey ChrisR,
      Sorry to hear about your Lightning Cable! Our cables are covered under a 5 year warranty and are expected to last much longer than 1 year. It sounds like you may have received a defective cable that slipped past our quality control! If you're interested in getting a free warranty replacement for your defective cable, please shoot me an email at [email protected] and I would be happy to help you out! -Chloe nomadgoods

    I returned it because the rubber cap that waterproofs the case seemed flimsy and there were other chargers that could hold more energy for lower cost.

    i bought this on Jan 28 2017 and by Jan 27 2017 the chord was not working. All the other chargers i have worked in the charging block (plugged into the wall) but this chord is now dead. not sure why, but it's gone. Best Buy had better replace this thing or i'll be super upset.

    It stopped working after a year. Metal coating at charging end came off and it doesn't charge anymore. It is worst quality and charging use to takes quite longer time.

    Seems pretty solid

    Picked this up last week to keep in the office rather than bring my cable from home. I've been using it almost daily since then and it seems to work pretty well. I like the length vs. the 3' cable my phone came with wince that didn't really make it up onto my desk from the plugs on the floor. It also looks different from everyone else in the office so there are no worries about one of my coworkers swooping it. Will report back in a few months after I've traveled with it.

    Fantastic and Robust

    I'm rough on my cables. This Nomad cable is exceedingly durable. It's a little longer than the standard one from Apple® and at the same price point they charge for a replacement, you can't go wrong with this one. I bought a second one I really didn't need just because the standard cable from Apple® feels so cheap and flimsy now.

    I originally bought this for a camping trip but ended up using it around the house afterwards. The construction is really durable and my phone charges up really fast with it. Overall a great find!
