I love the colors and the different lengths of these cables, what I don't like is how easy the end goes to charge into it Device kinking blue The cable was kinked on first use and yes I can use in and out cables straight. As I said the blue one bent on first use and in the past when I bent the cables I was still able to charge them, with this new cable I can't tell if it will charge or not. The other cables seem to be working fine so far, I hope I haven't jinxed myself.
