Have this cable bought in late November and had to dispose of it last week because the USB connection (metal piece) is torn away from the shell. The cable has no strain relief! And no I'm not attracted to the cable. From the beginning, the metal piece was actually much too long on the phone side. In addition, the cap cell phone side is loose. Synchronization with this cable was quite difficult from the beginning, because the phone was found only occasionally. I vermuttete initially a problem in the phone, this was before cable breakage. Even the loading lasted up to eight hours. I do not know what has taken for any damage my battery of view of the poor charging power Now I have to buy a new cable. And am now on the price of the original master cable. Conclusion: Not recommended.
