Works good but cable is thick and stiff

Short micro USB cables not many choices and I've always been happy with Cables to Go cables so didn't think twice about getting a pair of these a phone to order for my new one. The cable works. The connector fits perfectly on my HTC Thunderbolt. a bit tricky to insert if I don't line it up properly, but it's a solid connection and fitment isn't an issue. There are many flashes on the connector housing. small pieces of the mold seam that needed trimming. Not critical but not quite the attention to quality I expected. The only real issue with the cable is that it's very thick and stiff. just as thick as my printer cable, but even stiffer. My phone has a stand and I put it on my desk when I'm working so I can see the status indicator on it. I have to position it carefully so the cord doesn't pull the phone to its side. When you hit the cord, the phone twists and even turns over. The factory cable is thinner and I have other USB cables that are significantly thinner and more flexible. If I need a different micro USB cable for my phone I'll look for another brand hoping it's more flexible.

Pros
  • Electronics
Cons
