Promising review: “I purchased this product a few years ago from the Apple store and loved it. I needed two more and purchased them from Amazon. The knot moves along the cord allowing you to put the weight where you need it so that the cord doesn’t slip onto the floor or get forgotten when you leave a hotel room! It’s no inexpensive but lasts a long time and the length is perfect for plugging my device in while sitting comfortably (instead of hovering near the outlet!). I would recommend the product and purchase it again if needed.” — Valerie F. MacLeod
Promising review: “My old charger had wires coming out from being bent where you plug it into your phone, which is always the reason I need to buy a new one. This charger gets rid of that problem and I love it. I love the plug being on the side of the cord. The cord itself is very durable and sturdy. I can also prop my phone up to FaceTime while it’s plugged in with this cord. The pack of three gives me one for by my bed, my car, and in the kitchen. Love it!” — Michelle

Just bought a second set for the hubby” — Kindle Customer

Promising review: “Wow! When they say ‘Fast charger’ they really mean it. This charger doesn’t play when it comes to charging my phone and the cord length is a huge plus. I would definitely recommend buying this product. I’m fact I’ll be purchasing a couple more to keep in every room of my house.” — Lizzy
Promising review: “These are the best cables I ever purchased. They are better than the name-brand ones you pay top dollar for. They come in large lengths for those hard-to-reach places. I travel a lot and use them every chance I get. very easy to wind up and even fits in a small zip lock bag. They don’t even tangle like the ones purchased in a phone store. I highly recommend this product.” — Sarah
Promising review: “Works very well with my iPhone 11. Allows me to sit in my chair and still use my phone due to the length and sturdiness.” — Smokinlawyerslady
Promising review: “I purchased these because my Xbox controller batteries die so fast these days! I love the length and ability to play without worrying about the “batteries in controller are low” message. I also use the cord for my daughter’s OPTICS baby monitor, my playstation controller and my Kindle 1st Gen” — Brandie D.
Promising review: “I have held on to my nano iPod because it has a lot of my meditation audios. I haven’t been able to charge it for years. And this worked. I have all my guided meditations back!!!” — blumoon
