Not for Users of cases.

I wanted for the car necessarily have a black cable. From Funktuion ago it does perfectly what it should: Synchronize and recharge.
Processing affects relatively solid, the licensed Lightning connector are the same as the original Apple. Only the shell around the plug is different. What we already talking about the sticking point would be: The connector shell is much thicker than that of the original cable.

In my case, this means that I do not and plugged with only using mild violence get the cable with an iPhone 5 Case.

Addendum of 2:01:14: Unfortunately the Lightning connector does not fit in original leather cases for Apple's iPhone 5 and 5s.

Conclusion:

Positives:
+ In original quality
+ Black color
+ Price

Neutral:
- Feel not as good as the original (the plugs seem a bit cheap on)

Negatives:
- Sheathing of the Lightning connector is much thicker than the original cable (For many Bumper users a KO criterion)

Addendum dated 02.19.13: Many customers believe that Amazon not used for cases the user can. The remaining free cutout for the connector, however, was clearly defined by Apple. If this is not Amazon considered when planning a new product that is in my view a clear drawback for the requested items.
The Guideline for Apple Cases can at about Google after entering the keywords "Apple iPhone 5 dimensions" are found (unfortunately allowed Amazon no links in reviews)
