Compared to the expensive and high-end hardware of iPhones, this rubber cable is both flimsy and underwhelming. There’s a sheen to the USB connector and Lightning cable heads, but the cord itself is a dull white color that smudges almost immediately. It also isn’t thick or ultra-durable. If you’re hard on devices, you may want to exercise a bit of extra care when plugging and unplugging this cable....
