I've been using this cable for charging every day for months, I haven't had a single problem with it, both ends are rock solid, won't come loose or get stuck in my charging port on my phone, the cable has a river cotton feel, like old-fashioned lamp cords, which is nice. The Pros are well made, easy to see in low light and look good compared to the standard black or white cables. Disadvantages have not been discovered at the time I use it.
