Both my wife and I need to charge our phones when we travel and these cables work really well. We're lucky that there are USB outlets in the back seat that we use to charge our phones. These cables easily bridge the distance and allow us to use our phone when traveling. We can also take cables with us everywhere and use them to charge our phones overnight. Nowadays when the phone is used for GPS and many other purposes, these cables are very important. They are durable yet easily move around obstacles to hide them when needed. I highly recommend these cables.
