So far I’m very happy. The feel and look is spectacular. You can tell it’s well made. It has a thicker diameter than my other braided cables. It has good flexibility and stays were you bend it with only a little memory. The braids are tight and the material used is silky and very soft. It’s hard The Velcro tie down is also very nice and own and ruin the cable .
The Velcro tie down is also very nice and a good feature to have. I know I will be using
Compared to most other brands the connection Rods on the inside are much thicker/heavier. It will take a long time to wear them down. When connected the usb jack will be snug and stay tight for much longer and maintain a good solid transfer of power/data. The lightning side fits secure as well.
I was able charge with multiple devices. No problems with the phone not being recognized.
I have the iPhone 7 with the Otter box “slim” hard case. No problem with connecting the cable for Sync/charge.
Another bonus is the pouch, FYI, the pouch ONLY comes with the 6” and 3” NOT 10”. The pouch is soft and just as well made as the cable. Both zippers Slide very easy and smooth. Simple to coil and place inside the pouch in order to adjust the length to be large or small. Just by pulling or pushing the cable back inside it. I like that the logo is there but subtle. I may end up using it to store my external power supply, I’m not sure yet. I would like more of these pouches.
I have only just got it so I hope it does last. From the sounds of their customer service, if I have any problems, I will have nothing to fear.
I added a picture comparing the top shelf lightning MFI certified double braided sync/charge cables.

One would think that, for the premium price charged by Apple, they would bother to include lightning cables that could be used in an emergency to pull vehicles out of tar pits with...but no. They really don't. I'm not all that tough on my gear, but after only four months of use I started taping and hot gluing the OEM cable. Then, of course, came the stage where I could only set my phone down in one very particular orientation and still have it connect.
When I decided to replace the cable a few weeks ago, I went with a Aonsen Lightning Cable 3 Pack. Figured that would do the trick. Not so much. While they worked fine charging my devices at home, they would not connect my iPhone to my truck. Not for data, and not even for charging. As in nothing...on all three cables.
When none of them worked, I might have said things out loud that I wouldn't want my daughters to repeat at school. Can't remember. But, I figured it had to be something incompatible with the cable and my truck's USB socket, since the cables work fine on my computer and wall chargers. But that presented another issue. How could I tell what would be compatible...without just buying another short lived Apple cable?
After much fruitless research, and seeing some incredible customer service reviews for Anker, I decided give brand loyalty a try. I've got an Anker Power Core that I'm all pleased with...so why not give an Anker cable a go as well, right? Now here I am with a shiny new red Anker PowerLine+ II Lightning Cable, and it works like a charm.
The cord itself seems to be very robust, and just...beefy. Originally I though that beefiness might present a problem since my iPhone 7 is in an Otter Box case. But no, the Lightening side of the cord fits into the access port neatly. Actually, the size even makes it easier to line up the connectors in the dark (that's an every morning thing for me).
The real story is that it not only does the cord perform at home, it has flawlessly charged my phone from my vehicle's USB port and streamed my books to my truck's stereo speakers. The attached Velcro cord wrap and carry case were nice touches by Anker as well, but with the way this cord has performed so far, I wouldn't have cared if it had shown up on a thin plastic bag.
I'll update in a few months if there is anything new to report, but if this cable continues to perform like it does now...Apple should look at contracting Anker to make cords for them. I'm not even close to joking. Actually, they should think about having ANYONE else do it...but for now I'm going with Anker, and I'll be coming back to their products for a while as well.

Non l’ho ancora provato, quindi non sono in grado di recensirne la robustezza e la durabilità. Esteticamente è gradevolissimo e di buona manifattura. Trovo anche molto comoda la sua custodia. Se il cavo funziona correttamente, allora il rapporto qualità-prezzo è davvero eccezionale!

I bought this for use in my truck, which that designated cable gets the most use since it is constantly being plugged, unplugged, twisted, bent and gets filthy from my hands all the time and the normal Apple cables only last a few months. My only gripe is not with the product, but with either Amazon or Anker (or Anker supply), whom ever decides the prices. I wanted the 1ft cable because in my truck I dont really need anything longer than that; which seems to be unavailable for Canada or any place I’ve looked for Canada. Which the next thing was to go for the next shortest length which was 3ft and to my amazment, was twice the price of the 6ft cable. After reading that the 6ft came with a case and the 3ft did not, it became easy enough to pick which one I would go for, the cheaper one that I can reduce the length by putting it in a case. It is honestly much better to get the 6ft or 10ft with the case then to spend twice the price on a 3ft cord that doesn’t have a case.
Shipping came in 2 days when the expected arrival was between 2-5 days which was really nice so thimbs up for speed of delivery!
EDIT:
It's been just over two an a half years and it's still going strong. I use it in my truck to plug my phone in so it gets lots of abuse from constantly being plugged in and bent and what not. I am moving it from a 4 star to 5 star.
