Belkin F8Z414ttP AC Charger with Swivel Plug & Charge Sync Cable for iPod and iPhone (Electronics)

I had hoped that with all the positive reviews that this cable would have lasted longer than it did. The sheathing near the lightning plug pulled back and exposed the wires underneath within 2 months of purchase. The only use it gets is when it gets plugged into my phone for the night and unplugged in the morning. It's not like I have it plugged into an iPad or iPhone while the device is being used. That being said, it continues to charge my phone even with the wires somewhat exposed and if I grip the cord with one hand and firmly run the fingers of my other hand up the sheathing toward the point where it pulled away, the sheathing does cover the wires again but only for a short while. It's just disappointing that with the price tag as high as it is, that the cord wasn't more durable especially with such light, gentle use.Edited:After leaving this review, a Belkin representative left the following comment:We are very thankful for your feedback with our Belkin...Read more amznJQ.onReady('jQuery', function() { amznJQ.available('popover', function() { var widgetDom = jQuery("#R3K1JPDSDSHL1H_imageSection_A5401E5A-C095-11E5-95EA-8048133D1D61"); var images = widgetDom.find(".review-image-thumbnail"); for (var c=0;c

Thinking about buying another iPhone charger?1) Be careful to buy one that actually works (seriously). Apple has proprietary tech that each manufacturer licenses allowing the charger to communicate with the phone. Some cheapos don't incorporate the tech and wind up not actually charging the phone (for example, see this: USB Cable Wall Charger for Apple Iphone 3g Ipod Touch Nano )2) This charger is built out of (comparatively) high-quality materials and can hold up to being shoved in luggage/backpacks/purses/whatever3) The cable can be used just by itself (has a USB end that goes into the wall plug)4) The plug is ridiculously ginormous. I guess that's why it swivels, so this big hog can fit in a power strip regardless of plug orientation. (I assume they saved money making it so unnecessarily big.)5) The connector firmly connects to the apple device (again quality build)6) iPhone chargers are pricey, this is one...Read more
