Although they're cheap and come in a variety of lengths, you get what you pay for. I thought it would be nice to have a shorter charging cable on the front. I found that the shortest of them started to fail after a week of use. Lasted 3 days with longer cable and no connection. The braid is stiff at the ends and I think that wears out the cables on the inside. I have to wiggle to make them work. So I threw them in the trash. So life is.
