Durability is where this cable really shines. The nylon braiding not only looks great but also ensures that the cable can withstand the rigors of daily use without fraying or breaking. An ideal replacement or upgrade from your standard charging cable.
I originally ordered this cord because the braided material seemed more reliable than the typical rubber you get with the OEM Apple cables or the simple gas-station ones and that turned out to be the case. IIRC, Amazon Basics was still relatively new to the general market back in 2017 so this was a bit of a 'gamble' but I figured that Amazon would stand by its product or its warranty, whichever came first worst case. I am glad to say that I have not had any issues whatsoever with this cord unlike the other ones I mentioned earlier that were ordered around the same time and have completely escaped my memory because they are no more!
PROS:
Cost effective
Durable material
'Stylish'
CONS:
Cannot think of any
You can see in the photos that it has very thick rubber joins to protect that delicate problem area, and they come up over the plug (or extend the base of it or something) truly connecting this area even further. Because of this, in everyday/night use the cable bends naturally below the rubber completely.
Also the Nylon Braiding serves to make the cable less flexible in general. So when it does bend, it's doing so at a gentler angle than without these protections in place. The braiding also eliminates any chord tangling issues whatsoever if you're one to be plagued by that. On the contrary, the braiding is so stiff that if you turned your device around a few times while plugged in, you'd feel the twist in the cable. Yet releasing that twist is as easy as unplugging the cable and letting it fall out, or at most smoothing it once by hand.
And of course it comes with its Velcro strap pre-attached. Because if you're going to the trouble to buy cables of this caliber that are going to last, you're obviously going to store them properly. (Loosely {so as not to cause damage} loop or figure 8 the cable and secure with Velcro strap. Do this with any and all cables)
Truly my only complaint is the length and to some extent the color (grey??). I'm accustomed to having about a ft or 2 more and I keep having 'end of the leash' effect. :) This cable wasn't actually bought for me though... lol the hubs bought it for himself for work and I absconded with it after borrowing it on a trip! *evil laugh*
I should probably get him a replacement at some point...
April 16, 2018. Three months since I have bought the cables. I have been using one consistently every day and considering all the wear and tear it goes through, I guess I can’t expect the cable to last forever. My iPhone just recently started giving errors and showing the battery symbol has been disconnected. Time to switch to the second table I bought. Let’s see how long this one lasts. I usually carry my Anker power bank in my back pocket connected with this cable to my iPhone that I carry in my front pocket. The cable does tend to get twisted, but I do try to keep it straight. This cable also has the same shrink tubing that I applied to the first table when I bought them.

Pues este de momento funciona a la perfección. Al ser de Nylon no se dobla ni se pela el plástico del cable, así que ya de entrada durará mucho mas. Además lleva un velcro para poder atarlo sin que se estropee y quede recogido. Por el precio de un original , compras unos cuantos de estos.

Lo compré en 2020 para mi mamá y a pesar de que le da uso rudo el cable sigue intacto. Funciona perfectamente y no hemos tenido que comprar otro cable desde que le compré este. Confirmo que es de muy buena calidad 10/10.
