I got mine a few months ago and one day I noticed that the magnetic part was slightly misaligned (I mean, the little protrusion that sticks out to make contact with the other Making half looks crooked). I tried to straighten it, the thickening broke off. (Plus, I didn't even use that much force) once that protrusion came out, the cable was useless. I use a different one, but I don't make the same mistake again. (looks wrong by the way)
