I never said wow! when connecting the phone for charging, but I did when I first used this cable. It's very strong and has a piece of metal on the end that snaps into the phone to hold it securely - not a flimsy break. It looks like the highest quality charging cable I've ever used. Just make sure you have a piece that fits the wall. We all need phone charger cables, spend a few extra bucks and get a cable that won't bother you after three months :)
