I have gained this USB cable in the hope that it was just as it looks in the picture - very high quality and haptic tip. However, exactly what it is not to the extent that it justifies the significant additional cost. The cable itself is stiffer than expected, haptic but ok. The plastic part of the connector is pretty but also not as noble as the pictures suggest. In my already arrived scratched and merge with slightly protruding noses from. The gold-plated plug-ends have a very good connection and are mechanically robust. The data transfer itself is very good, because I have not expected anything else.
All in all, I think 12 euros for such a cable, however, too much, especially in view of the cheaper and sometimes better alternatives. Next time I will buy again cheaper - unfortunately not advise me (if then only conditionally for Clicktronic Video cable as HDMI).
