Excellent value for money - work perfectly with all iThings
I wondered why Lightning cables were so expensive and then found out that they need to carry a little chip that is certified for use by Apple. iPads, iPhones etc. communicate with the chip and won't let a device charge or transfer data unless the chip is recognised.Quite why this is so important in a cable is totally beyond me however I can verify that these cables work perfectly when charging iThings or connecting them to a computer to copy files. They also feel far more durable than the plastic Apple versions.Highly recommended.

So far so good
These appear robust and well made and are good value for money. As we all know, some cables last five minutes; so far these have been very reliable, but I can't score them properly on durability yet.

Had for one year and may be replacing one of them
I have been using these three leads for a year now and the only problem has been that yesterday one of them was getting hot plugged into an iPad. Will try a different lead to see if its the lead or the iPad. I have been using one of the leads to charge my iPad every night with no problems so I am impressed with the quality. None of the cables are damaged, they usually break the cable at the plug.

Do not last long. All 3 stopped working in a little over a month.
As an Apple Device family, we have many devices and chargers, and over time the leads do get damaged and stop working - especially with children using them.Rather than purchasing official Apple products, we decided to try a cheaper alternative as I don't mind replacing these when they wear out (plus the extra length was useful for us).The leads look well made, and are a nice length.They feel very sturdy, and charge iPads quickly (When used with iPad Charging Plug).However, in less than two months all three have stopped working.Two of the Lightning Plugs have fell apart in two of our iPads, that can no longer accept any other lead due to the metal / plastic stuck in charging port. The damaged lead still currently charges the iPads they fell apart in if positioned carefully.The third lead has no visible signs of damage, but refuses to charge any of our devices.See photos for damaged plug. If you look closely to lead on right, you can see the metal trim missing. This is now stuck in two of our iPads, and I can't extract them. I have devices booked in for repair with Apple, so hopefully they will be able to extract for me.Since these incidents, I have looked closely at the Apple MFi Licensed Accessories website to see if these are listed. SUNDIX have 7 products listed, but non of the Model Numbers / UPC's match these leads.MFi Certified leads should have a protection chip in the Lightning Plug, but these are also missing these.

Failed already!
One cable has failed already...Initial impressions were good, but despite the positive reviews the cable has failed after 4 weeks at the hands of a teenager.Is it that hard to get a cable that works for more than a few weeks without spending an extortionate amount on a cable? Has any found a iOS lightning cable that actually lives up to the claims made by the manufacturer?Can’t really complain for what I paid for the cables, but it’s just disappointing that they claim they are indestructible!

Only work when plugged in a certain orientation
It’s just a cable, it feels nice and durable but for whatever reason all cables will only supply power if the connector is plugged in a certain way up, which is annoying as you sometimes find out hours later and your iOS device hasn’t charged up
