Really nice cable, but slightly pricy

Before we start, I'd like to mention that this cable was kindly provided by iSmooth for testing and review. Please keep in mind that this does not have an effect on my review or my rating.

Design: The packaging pouch it quite lovely actually, really easy to open. The cable itself feels like it's one of those Apple USB cables, which is quite nice.

Function: Well, it is a cable, so I decided to test it by using it in the following challenges:
* Transfer data from PC to Nexus 5: No problems.
* Charge Nexus 5 over USB: No problems either.
* Charge Amazon Kindle 2nd gen over USB and AC adapters: No problems as well.
* Charge Nexus 5 and 7 with their AC adapters: Works perfectly as well.

So all in all, the cable is quite nice, and I recommend it.

However, I can't give it 5 stars because it's a bit pricy at $10. Granted, it's probably cheaper in comparison to other retailers, but shopping around may give you a good advantage.

It's a really nice cable. When it comes to these things, it is kind of hard to pick "the best one" because they are all going to do the same job the same way. What I would say makes this cable a bit nicer is that the ends look super cool and the wire is a nice thickness and quality (like bending it and s***). Only thing I wished was nicer was how firmly it plugged into ports. It still does that pretty well but I think it could be a bit better. Overall good purchase.

Cable shielding is soft, malleable vinyl, the connectors are crafted crisp, but light, and not too strong. The cable itself is well made and high quality; charges my phone much faster than any other cable I've tried.

I noticed Anker a while ago and also own one of their USB 3.0 hubs. As a tech enthusiast who's been tinkering with high level tech, builds, and repairs for quite some time, Anker is really impressing me. This company makes great products, and come in some very well presented packaging. This was, however, the most expensive product in it's class at the time I purchased it. If the cable was, maybe, $2 less, there'd be no reason to buy anything else.

Quality no difference with other brands, just a little pricy

Seems like a REALLY great quality cable for the price! It's not cheap and flimsy, feels really strong. Data transfer on it seems to be the same as that of Belkin I purchased for 3x the price a while back, though I had no way of really knowing with what I use them for. But....... works great.

It's a really awesome looking blue color too, it is kind of see through, you can see the internal braiding, kind of futuristic. I ordered more so that I can change all my cables out and have a stylish look to my set up.

Love it!

This cable works perfectly, does exactly what it claims to.  I'm using it to connect between a Polycom IP650 and a Plantronics CS50 base.  I can answer & disconnect calls from the headset button as expected.

My only knock is the price.  $50 is a bit steep, but then again, it does solve a problem.  I would have given it 5 stars if not for the value proposition.

The manufacturer's sample received here is a well made high quality cable with one unique feature or if not unique, I've never seen it before. Rather than being round in cross section, the cable is a ribbon. So what, you say. The rationale is that this makes it much easier and more stable to loop up for transport or storage.

This doesn't seem like that much of a feature because even the round cross sectioned cables can be looped. I'll agree that this isn't some sort of thundering breakthrough idea which will make all existing MFI cables obsolete but it makes it just a wee bit better than others and in doing so, it loses nothing.

So award four stars for a very well made MFI certified cable and add one for the ribbon style cable replacing the more mundane hose shaped one. Interesting color too. You won't easily lose it.

$45 for one cable? Just a little bit ridiculous if you ask me. Ohh the joys of supply and demand.

This is great, it holds all my weird little cables just right.  Awesome quality but the price is a bit much for what it is.

It's a little pricy for what it is, but works well and is a quality product.

A little on the expensive side for charging cables, but It's the best quality you can expect

Great budget cable with a high-end feel.  Not sure about it's durability for those using it in more active applications, but for more passive use it looks great and is a nice alternative to black plastic/rubberized cords.  I

Great cable.  High quality for price.  Was a bit surprised.

Short cords rarely cost less than their longer cousins. In some cases, they're more expensive. Why is that? My best guess is that due to economy of scale, the cost of the cable is relatively insignificant and you're mostly paying for quality terminals. That would make sense if they all cost the same, but occasionally shorties cost more than long cables. I think that's because they cater to a smaller niche market, and that small market probably isn't lucrative enough, so the manufacturer raises the prices to compensate. It's all business. It's not a materials-cost driven price.

That said, I am one of the rare folks that likes shorties. They're easier to keep in a bundle with other shorties and knick-knacks I need "just in case."

This is a quality cable. The terminal covers look like aluminum thanks to the metallic finish. The edges are well-formed and crisp, at least for now, until I bang them up. The cable itself is cloth covered, which is uncommon for a USB cable. You typically see that sort of detail on headphone cables, but not USB cables. The cloth covering is much appreciated in my case, because they lead to fewer tangles, after all, these will be stored in a pouch with a dozen other miscellaneous cables. But frankly, considering how stiff and short this is, I doubt it would have tangled anyway. Still a nice detail.

The cable is very well-made, and I think it earns the price-tag. The real question is, do you need a fancy looking short cable? Or would you rather save 75% and go with a plain white cable. There's no wrong answer here. People have spent more money on sillier things. I think this is actually kind of reasonable.

Great cable, just a little to pricy.

I bought some other cable that was also certified and had the same lenght, the difference is that is was 3 cables for the same price as one of this.

People like so much this cables that all my others one got gifted or stolen. So I bought this one to replace my missing ones.

This was a recommended product through the link of the other ones I bought, since amazon does not carry those anymore.

Compared to the cheap, basic RCA I was using, this is a GREAT cable. Sound is a VAST improvement in every way. No issues with loose or faulty connections. Cable is clean and I like the design of the terminals. It's a pretty stiff cable. I'd recommend separating the two strands, at least a foot or two down the cable, or completely if that's not an issue for you. The weight and stiffness of them together make them hard to manipulate and put slight pressure on the device ports. I don't notice any noise but I've never really noticed cable noise, that I'm aware of. I'm tempted to try a pair from Blue Jeans Cable for comparison purposes. If anyone has possibly done that already, I'd love to know what you thought.

I received this product at a discount in order to conduct a thorough review. However, I will not be biased and will be accurate and honest. This cable is a nice, short cable. It's perfect for the car or anywhere that you don't need too long of a cable.  Also, the current $3.99 price with free prime shipping makes this a wonderful bargain. I've tried this cable on my phone and on my tablet and they both charge reasonably well. However, the lack of Quick Charge support is what makes this a four star product and not a five star product. However, if you have no use for quick charge, than look no further than this cable. You can't really have too many micro USB cables, since everything from cellphones to bluetooth speakers use micro USB to charge.
