I've had bad luck with Lightning cables in the past and am always hesitant to buy anything other than Apple genuine, but with three teenagers, cables seem to be disappearing fast here. For $19 each, I need a side job to replace lost, worn, mangled, and destroyed cords. On the other hand, typical aftermarket cables are short-lived. Eventually I found some that do. In September I took 4 of these cables and none had any problems (except one that the dog ate). Definitely on my list of spares for kids.
