Folks,

Over the years, in an effort to find a good Apple Lightning cord, I have tried MANY cords. As many of us know, the original cord, that comes with our devices, wears out quickly. While initially I liked and was using an Amazon Basics lightning cord, a recent design change has made them less reliable.

Well I think I have found the perfect lightning cord from Aukey. I already know the Aukey brand, and have been using their power products for years. (Hubs, chargers, external batteries, etc), BUT I just discovered their lightning cables.

The cable has a great design. It's made from braided nylon, and the ends are reinforced with strong metal. The ends are also on a 90 degree angle, and this makes them plug in easier, has enhanced stability, AND make the device (especially an iPad) much easier to use with the cord plugged in. I had no issues with cord use, as is SOMETIMES the case with 3rd party cords. I did not receive the dreaded "This Cable is Not Certified and May Not Work Reliably" message.

I can definitely recommend this lightning cable! You'll find it at Amazon....

They look really great! Thanks for sharing!

Those connectors, on both ends, look unpractical for my use case.

Those connectors, on both ends, look unpractical for me.

As a practical matter for me, they work well. I often use my iPad in the upright, or vertical position, when reading magazines for example OR playing a certain game. (ok it's Clash Royale and I'm totally addicted). With this cord it's MUCH less in the way. Also I feel the cord forms a more stable connection to the device. I wasn't convinced either UNTIL I started using it.

Those look pretty tough. May have to give one a shot.

I like that about them. They don't seem like they're annoying if you're using your phone while charging.

Same thing I was thinking.

Looks like a tough fit with a bulky case
