30 pin charging leads

[Wotchered]

Does anyone know if the lock in style 30 pin charging leads are still available ? I ask this because the first thing that goes when you charge and read as I do is the connector, meaning I have to constantly check it is still seated properly. I have only one of these leads left and I believe it came with a nano. Any idea ?

Welcome to iMore! Have you checked any third party sellers? I took a quick look at Amazon but didn't see any 30-pin cables with the locking mechanism.

I've seen them at bestbuy and Walmart.

Keyword search "30 pin Apple Cable" in your favorite search engine...

The difficulty is that OP is looking for a 30-pin cable with the locking mechanism built in (the original one with the release buttons on the sides). The ones I found in my 60 second Amazon search were all like the later models that simply pulled out.

I haven't seen one of those in a long time. I don't think they sell them anymore.
