I specifically purchased a braided cable because apparently I abuse charger cables. Yes, I admit it. I do horrible things with my cables such as leave them plugged in while I play my stupid time-waster of a game on my phone in bed. As such, a regular plastic-sheathed cable has a lifespan measured in weeks with me. I will tear that weak stuff up.
I still abuse the cable, but this one's pretty resistant to it. After a couple of months of shameless bending at awkward angles, the very end of the cord near the charging tip is just now starting to show signs of wear. I expect the outer sheath to last a few more months with my monstrous treatment, and then the wear on the inner cables and wires to start. All that considered, the cost I paid was only a dollar or two more than a conventional cable and I'm likely to get 5-10 times the wear out of it.
This is the ONLY phone cord that actually fits my phone (Samsung) AND my cat cannot chew through it. However, I bought it in October and it is now March (6 months use) and where the cord meets the plastic is fraying and wires are starting to poke through. So I'm ordering a 3 pack today.
I'm using 2 of these with a Mophie Powerstation 8x and 5x, one in a Chrome Soma Sling and the other in a Chrome Niko Camera Sling. The L-shaped plug lowers the profile for better fitment in my applications and also reduces the leverage to reduce the risk of bending while plugged in. Great cable; very durable with solidly constructed plugs that clip firmly into everything I've used them on so far.
The quality is good and the connector has withstood a lot of bending without losing connection. The 90-degree connector makes it ideal for placement in a tight spot like behind a wall or, in my case, a bed.
I fell in love with Nonda ZUS cables on kickstarter. I've had several that are still in use. At this point, I don't know why I bother buying any other cable.
