Visually closest to the original

Since we now have multiple Apple devices with Lightning connector in use, our need for suitable cables in the fields of different operations has increased. Charging options in the car (with black cable), at your desk or on the couch to be always available. Unfortunately, we have also made some negative experiences with the original cables, so we looked around as the price-conscious family for alternatives.
Since we have however made also in some alternative cable without MFI Certification bad experiences, we have this time placed on the certification value and opted for the following cables:

1. deleyCON 1m & 0.5m in black and white
2. Syncwire cable 1m

Here now the deleyCON

Dimensions & Optics
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
With about 8 x 11 mm plastic when the Lightning connector, and 13 x 13 mm when the USB connector plastic match the dimensions of which deleyCON cable from the original Apple cable. In comparison with the other cables of this comes the closest to the original. The processing of the plastic edges alike. The differences are only to be found in details. Most striking is the kink, the only half as long with 5mm like the original. To what extent this affects the durability remains to be seen. A closer look then still falls on that the plastic is not quite as precisely as in the Apple cable. In light of the plastic has a slightly wavy. Seen from above on the USB plug can be identified then on one side a minimum gap between the plastic and the actual plug. Both, however, certainly falls on only those who really want to make differences. For completeness, nor is the deleyCON lettering on the Lightning connector mentioned, which is very discreet and looks dibasic.
The cable itself is a little smoother and not as nice as the original Apple cable structured.

Handling & Function
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
Both the USB connector and the Lightning connector give no reason for complaint. Both are easy to insert, the Lightning connector snaps cleanly, and neither of them are secure but too tight in the respective terminal. The cable itself is just as beautiful as the original Flexible Apple.

Packing
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
You will receive this cable in a thin, resealable foil pouch. From an environmental point that goes certainly better, but the package insert also on the most necessary and effective appear to be reduced me. From me, therefore no deduction for it.

Conclusion
¯¯¯¯
Since I already Various HDMI cable from deleyCON did, I noticed the handle to the deleyCON Lightning cables not difficult. We were not disappointed. Of all the cables that came very close to the original. Differences are studied in detail and it is only slightly shorter bend protection really worth mentioning. Compared with the cable for Syncwire liked especially that the plug were so close to the original, even if we do not have for lifetime warranty. From me and the rest of the family, therefore, a strong buy recommendation.

By the way: Against the rupture of the plastic casing, I can recommend at this point only the tip with all the wrapping means ballpoint pen. We have an original cable in use, despite the defective shell, with a ballpoint pen for over a year is serving. (Addiction online simply by coolie spring and iPhone cable)
