CulCharge Smallest Lightning to USB Cable for iPhone & iPad Apple MFI Certified

After 6 months attached to my car key, I am suddenly moved to write a review because it doesn't seem to be as durable as I'd originally hoped.I bought the micro-usb version for $15 in January 2015, which was $10 cheaper at the time than the lightning version (much cheaper than the current price). I have an iPhone, and already had an Apple micro-usb to lighting adapter, which clicks right onto the end of this, and stays on quite well. Because my car has keyless entry and start, my key stays in my pocket 99% of the time, with this attached to it. Many times there are other things in my pocket including loose change, a metal folding pocket knife, small flashlight, etc. I noticed today that there is a chunk of black plastic missing from the large USB connector. This is causing the strain-relief "teeth" that keep the black plastic connector securely attached to the white flat cable, to start disengaging. While the general functionality of this unit is great, I don't see the long-term durability being what it should, if this is going to live on a keychain.I am hopeful that I can repair it with epoxy, but I also might look for another unit that is metal. Plastic is just not durable enough to survive my rough handling.

It works great so far. I've had it a couple weeks now and used it quite a few times and it hasn't failed yet. The chain and ring feel and look like they are made of a plastic, but they are magnetic, so they have to be made of a metal - and they seem sturdy. Fifteen bucks was a little steep for a 2.36 inch long usb cable, but if it holds up, it will be worth it. I just wish I would have gotten it for free like all the other reviewers.

The cable works well, although I don't really think it's worth the price. I could get a full length fabric wrapped cable for less than I paid for this. That being said, it is very durable and well-designed. The plastic surrounding the lightning connector, however, is VERY large. I sometimes have trouble getting it to fit my phone with a case around the port.

Should be a liitle longer. When you have a case it is not easy to plug.

Great Idea,Will not work on Iphone 6plus with Otterbox Defender case. I suppose its not the charging cables problem, I had to cut down the black rubber so that it will charge my phone, after cutting the black rubber housing, I am no longer able to use the key chain attachment.

The casing on the white part pulled away from the black connectors in the first few days of use. I'm genuinely worried about the continuing quality/durability of this product, which is disappointing given its relatively expensive. I wish I had purchased the Nomad, which seems more durable.

The one and only thing I don't like is it won't fit through if you have an otter box , other than that very good product and super efficient and easy to carry with you at all times ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Love the size but the plastic around the end is bulky. I have to take my phone cover off to plug it in.

Works as advertisedI too used one of the cheaper ones bought from a high street retailer (for around £2 IIRC) which broke quickly, but this one seems to be made of higher quality materials and is holding out on my keys.N.B. the white section is approx. 2cm long so it is pretty short.

Great idea but after a few months on my key ring, the USB End has detached due to wear and tear. As a result it's no longer useable. Worth a buy if you don't intend to keep it permanently on your keys.

This isn't compatible with my iPhone 5 .

Nice compact and solidly constructed connector to carry on your keys at all times. I barely norice it's there and has shown no signs of damage despite being thrown around attached to my keys.

Small and well built, I linked it to my car keys which are always with me so I have a charging cable at all times which comes in handy a loy
