Do you use third party charging cables?

[rayz336]

yeah me too actually i got the green one and the red one for my non lightning devices

I'm using the blue lighted cable

We have all been there your original Apple charging cable stops working for whatever reason. So, you run out to get a replacement. Do you buy a third party cable or do you buy an Apple cable? I've bought some third party cables that worked just fine.

I have a few but I bought them all at the Apple Store, so I'm confident they're good.

Not sure when they released it, but I’ve had mine for about 6-8 months. It’s on their website:

The stupid forum software won’t let me post the link - says it’s spam. #iMoreFail

I bought one about 6 months ago but its still a bit shorter than I'd like LOL

Still on my original cables here. Use them primarily for charging (so I plug them in like once every night), and they still seem as good as the day I got them. With some care, they should be able to last the full 2 years.

Belkin, the nice, long, heavy duty one. $29.

How long do you need? Apple has a 2m cable for $29.

Yep, but it's wimpy. Apple's cables can be a source of disappointment.

I use both actually. I like to have them in most rooms of the house and car and work and summer place. Sigh I know I have problems

To update: I also use Apple's chargers along with the Belkin/Griffin cables.

They'll definitely last that long. I'm just an accessory junkie & I want a different cable in every room, for work & in each vehicle LOL

I don't think it's a problem but then again I just pretty much said the same thing without seeing this post LOL

What I need is a car charger that allows simultaneous charging for my iPhone and my work issued Note 2.

They’re not hard to find. I use this one - 2 ports each putting out 2.1A (12W).

Yup, thank you, that's EXACTLY what I need. I actually had one but the lighting piece came loose. Do I never to make sure I charge while I'm getting ready in the morning.
