The charging cable works (have a Samsung Galaxy S i9000) but I can imagine that the seal is quite rapidly broken, because the cable is a bit thin and not just looks quality. But apart from the optical it works as good as my original cable. Of course, this is probably again not original, may be seen only once the processing of. Apparently you get here at Amazon no original wiring. But I would argue that this approach comes from the good performance of the real original. However, it is not a USB cable with an adapter, if that's important to someone (although yes in the picture already looks the). In general, I'm very happy with it, even if I have the last few days.
