Review on πŸ”Œ Certified Retractable Lightning Cable by AmazonBasics by Julius Hunter

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Perfect for mobile games like Pokemon Go but has reliability issues due to cable wear.

It seems solid enough and great for those who play Pokemon Go. Walking with external batteries is quite a hassle, but also with crumpled cables, thanks. It's much easier to manage. Simply pull both ends and the spool will click and adjust to approximately 3 different lengths. The cable is flatter so it doesn't kink or tangle, but as an update I've noticed a reliability issue with this Revain Basics article. Apparently bending this wire back and forth wears the wire out faster, so flat cable wasn't such a good idea. Especially near the USB end. As a result, the wire frayed, which only got worse after a month of use. I just disassembled it in the right place and saw that the wires were broken inside (see picture). The worst part is that he died after you were able to replace him, well played Revane. I leave it at 1 star.
