- Durable design
- Reversible direction
- Apple OEM Product
There's not much to say. It's the same cable that came with your iPhone/iPod/iPad. It's pretty sturdy, doesn't wiggle like Micro USB cables, and best of all it's reversible. Comes in a pretty small box.
If you get a fake cable, rate the seller, not the product.
If you received a fake cable from a seller that is NOT Amazon, list their name out so other people can avoid them.
Update 01/13/13 If you're interest in saving a few dollars, check out Amazon's Lightning to USB cable. Reviews seem to indicate it works well. I trust Amazon enough to buy their version of the cable, but their cable is thicker and wider, so it wouldn't fit my case.

Update 12/2/2012: There has been news about fake Lightning cables being produced and shipped. These should be avoided at all costs even if it is cheaper. Apple has embedded a small "security" chip in Lightning cables. The manufacturers of cheap cables are attempting to replicate it, but they are now on the third generation of their cable. Would you really trust a cable from someone who has already revised it three times (to "create a working product") in less than three months time?

Just for the record, this is an OFFICIAL Apple cable. (Just make sure your seller is "Amazon")At time of purchase, it is $19. About the same as the Apple store, but with Prime; free two-day shipping makes it worth it.

this cable design is excellent in that it is now reversible, but these cables are much more complex inside than the old 'dock connector' and with that there is a chip inside the connector that assigns pin function making it much more difficult for a generic to clone this cable. for the time being, I felt it worthwhile to pay the $19 to get apple OEM cable that I know will last and work properly with my iOS devices moving forward.I recommend buying an apple OEM cable at least until the generics have had more time to proliferate and be tested long term.The title and picture of this item are misleading. I just received it and it's obviously an aftermarket product. It worked but I will be returning it because I don't trust its long term viability. I would find another seller.Description clearly states: "Brand NEW/Genuine/Authentic/OEM Apple Lightning to USB cable for iPhone 5. In Original Factory SEALED box." The product that I received was a complete knockoff that didn't work, and it came in a plastic bag, not a factory sealed box as stated in the description. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!
