The operation is as expected good. With prolonged use may need to be cleaned, the metal contacts on the connector and the "socket" of the device. Because it may happen that by dirt no optimum connection is established and thus the device is not charging - I saw it at first as a loose connection from.
The material weakness has been found after a few months (cable has been used about 20 times since Nov. 2013 in the week). The plastic cover from the Lightning connector got through continuous movements from the device first hairline cracks and later she has then dissolved. Ultimately, does the cable but still like the first day.
