The shipping was fast enough. Bought these ones ad Anker is a good company, and with the mess around USB type C standards it i better to go with a respectable product. The speed of transfer and charging speed with micro USB cable is the same as using normal USB type C cable. The connection to a micro USB plug is also quite strong. Recommend it in transforming old micro USB cables for newer USB type C devices for a not a lot of money.

Cables' build is solid. I like the different gray color at both end, helps to distinguish it from other microUSB cables. The only issue I encounter is the cables won't charge when I plug them in ANKER 5-port charger. The cables work with all other single-port chargers, with all USB ports on the computers, with car USB chargers. It could be that ANKER doesn't support USB 3.0.

Both cables had the micro end come loose and stop providing power within a month, the 6ft cable within a few days. [UPDATE] I was contacted by Anker customer service, they were extremely helpful in the whole matter, and replaced the cables free of charge including shipping fees. I received the replacements a couple days ago and so far both cables are working well. Increased from a 1 to a 4 star rating.

My experience with Anker products is they are fairly priced, well made and backed up with very good support. That includes their 10-Port USB hub and charger

These USB cables are ok. I have one that doesn't work out of 3. From all my research, it was hard to find a decent dealer/company.

After leaving my review Anker contacted me and provided free replacements of their new improved product. Love this company.
Bought in mid-February and already needs replaced. I am a big Anker fan except when it comes to these iPhone cables. I guess we are going to try the Powerline Anker chargers next. I bought Anker because I had good experience with their chargers and micro USB cables so I thought these would be great. Disappointed.

The device is ok , build quality is ok as we'll .but the main reason I bought it is to charge all my devices at the sometime .always when trying to charge my phone it doesn't change until I connect and disconnect the cable at least three times. I even changed the cable,still no luck.

UPDATE:
Today I just received a new one from Anker and it works fine. I must say they have an outstanding after sales service. I think I will be getting the 13000 mph power bank to add it to my Anker collection.

UPDATED REVIEW:
Anker's CS reps contacted me and sent me a replacement case. This one worked at higher speeds. The first one had an issue (I'm not sure what it is, but it didn't test well).

-----

So I have the Inateck usb 3 enclosures and they work great. Testing them I get 425MB/s transfer speeds with an SSD drive inside.

I wanted the Anker to work because I want to get a SHORT cord and you can't with the Inateck because it's male A to male A (vs the Anker which is the more normal male A to micro male B).

Anyway - the same SSD in this Anker case only tested at 40MB/s. The speed of my SD cards.

Everything else seems fine. Just isn't USB 3 speeds at all.

I bought this product 19 months ago. Naturally after the 18 month hassle free return policy expired, so to did this hub. I had a Belkin that lasted over 10 years. I will not buy this item or any product from Anker again.

After writing this review, Anker contacted me and sent me a new one, which I am happy to say it arrived post haste and is working. I hope this one lasts at least as long as the broken one. That being said I am changing my rating to 4 stars.

After an initial negative review by myself. I was contacted by Anker and sent replacement cables for the non-working ones I had purchased. They have modified the original design. So far so good.

I bumped up from 1 star to 3 for their efforts at pleasing the customer.

I have not had any luck finding great cables that last - at any price - including the Apple ones.

Update 11/30/2013 - I was contacted by Anker Support on Nov. 25 via email and they offered me a replacement for free. I received the unit today and ran similar tests using H2testw, using both USB 2.0 & USB 3.0. This time, the results are very good -

SanDisk Ultra 32GB
On USB 2.0 - 9.84MB/s Write, 28 MB/s Read
On USB 3.0 - 11.1MB/s Write, 39.6MB/s Read

SanDisk Extreme 16GB
On USB 2.0 - 24MB/s Write, 27.6MB/s Read
On USB 3.0 - 42.1MB/s Write, 43.5MB/s Read

Amazon Basics Class 10 16GB
On USB 2.0 - 11.2MB/s Write, 20.9MB/s Read
On USB 3.0 - 11.1MB/s Write, 21.8MB/s Read

Old Kodak 2GB
On USB 2.0 - 3.64MB/s Write, 8.66MB/s Read
On USB 3.0 - 3.62MB/s Write, 8.92MB/s Read

Canon SDC-32M
On USB 2.0 - 1.52MB/s Write, 4.84MB/s Read
On USB 3.0 - 1.56MB/s Write, 4.97MB/s Read

I understand that any item can be DOA, but Anker made up for it and beyond with their excellent customer service. That's why I am giving this a 5 star review. This is undoubtedly the best customer service I have received from anyone online!

I will just offer my 2 cents on build quality and design of the reader. To Anker, maybe you can lose both of the end caps and use that savings to improve the feel of the device overall and also the micro-SD slot doesn't really feel secure, and you have to be careful when you are putting the card in.

Update 11/22/2013 - I had to return it, and its now down to 1 star from 3 - from my initial review. I tried it on 2 Different Desktops, a Laptop and a MacBook Pro.  Below is the review I wrote before I had tested it for USB 2.0 Compatibility on different computers. Technically USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 - why this card reader is not, is beyond me. If you are planning on buying this one, please make sure you will only be using this on USB 3.0 ports - unless the manufacturer makes a change. USB 3.0 ports will either be blue (instead of white where the plastic part is) or will have "Super Speed" marked next to the port.

Initial review -

I was very pleased with the performance of this card reader. Apparently its able to read MMC, RS-MMC, and all currently released standards of SD and Micro-SD. SD and Micro-SD are the only two I care about.

I tested this card reader against my sandisk micromate usb 2.0 card reader using 2 different cards -
Sandisk Extreme SDHC, UHS I - 47.58MB/s Read, 44.516MB/s Write with this card reader vs 20.571MB/s Read and 19.172MB/s Write on the micromate
Sandisk Ultra Micro-SDHC UHS I - 43.18MB/s Read, 10.859MB/s Write with this reader vs 19.477MB/s Read and 10.78MB/s Write on the micromate

So, this card reader performs much better than a standard usb 2.0 card reader. USB 3.0 is supposed to be backward compatible with USB 2.0 ports, and the product description here claims as such,  but when I plugged this one into a USB 2.0 Port - it was painfully slow, i have no clue why that is. When I started copying a files - it progressed at dial-up speed. Something must be wrong with the internal wiring. If I am going to use it, it needs to work on both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0 ports, the majority of ports out there are still USB 2.0! I am knocking 2 stars off for this.

Update I had writen the review below and shared how Anker is a great company but I got a defective cable.
I just got an email from Anker saying they are sorry I got a bad cable and they are sending out a replacement cable no charge. I have never had anything bad before from Anker. The customer service is above and beyond anything I expected!!!

Purchased these to cables in January and one has already failed. Cable has never been pulled or strained. Perfect condition on both ends and entire cable length. I think I just have one bad defective cable.
I have purchased lots of Anker products over the years
Two desk lamps, 8 lighting cables, iPad desk stand, 12 Volt dual car charge, 14 USB portable battery chargers (gave them away as Christmas presents one year)
All the Anker items have been top notch performers except one cable. I am buying another cable from Amazon that is marketed as the best they make.

Good, but...

I received this a day ahead of the estimate. The USB hub is nice. The power block wall plug-in is a bit awkward (most are the same). It works great with my new USB-3 Seagate drive. But, it will not recognize USB-2 devices. Anker has promised to replace this with a new hub and send a pre-paid return label. When this happens I will add a star.

Edit. I have a nice USB 7 port hub that works well with USB 2 and USB 3 devices. Customer support is terrific with Anker. I got my replacement by expedited delivery. Ivyee at customer service went beyond my expectations.

I recommend Anker products

The cables aren't working properly. After using them with my galaxy fast charger my phone would only reach about 30% and would over heat within an hour. I thought it was my charger but after using differnt usb's i realize its the Anker cables.

First one busted on me after about 3 or 4 months of not being used too often, like maybe once every week or two.  It still worked but the USB port was off to the point where I need to add sideways pressure to the cable to get it to function correctly.  This quite possibly could've been user error seeing as I would attach a small cable from my phone then into the battery pack and place it back in my pocket which could have damaged the USB port. I contacted Anker and they sent me a new one and told me I didn't have to worry about sending the busted one back.  New one is still goin strong, get a near full iPhone charge out of it while using the phone constantly and I'm sure I would get more than a full charge without using the phone.  I thought about docking a star seeing as the first one broke but the fact that they got one out to me so quick was pretty awesome and good customer service goes a long way in my book.  I wanted to buy one of their bigger 10k or more mAh battery banks as well but that did not allow flow through charging which is what I need for my purposes(solar charging) so I had to go with RavPower who makes a great large battery bank as well.  If the Anker allowed the flow through charging I would have gone with that.

This is a surprise to me that an Anker product ( blue 10ft micro USB) would fail so soon. I have always praysed the Anker line of products, not only the product but the customer service that is given when you contact them. This cable was used with a phone charger cradle so it wasn't moved very much at all. I'm hoping I can retract these statements with a positive response from Anker.

The product worked for a few days, then started blowing several fuses in the car. I spoke to Anker and they suggested downgrading to the non Quick Chage as I have an iPhone 5 and Note 3 which doesn't use it. The other part (Anker USB Car Charger PowerDrive 2) is working out just fine.

UPDATE: I'd have to first say that Anker customer support is short of amazing. They really stand behind their products and were willing to give me another go at it. They were correct in identifying my original unit to be an unusual faulty one. It's now been several weeks that I've replaced it and there have yet to be any problems.

In a world where customer support is constantly eroding, Anker is standing apart from the crowd as a brand that you can trust.
