I ordered two of these cables, one in early July and one in the first week of August. I really liked the class of the cable itself, as well as its overall construction and looks. same problems especially with BOTH cables; one). After the first two weeks, both cables were not reliably charging my Samsung S8+ at fast charging speeds, instead charging slower. Sometimes they charge, sometimes they don't. 2). The red cloth covering the cord below detached within ten days from the ends of both cords on the large port side, revealing a large slit of cream cord underneath. While this isn't a flaw in any major feature, I'm disappointed as I was very attracted to the aesthetics and design of the cable in general - and that beautiful RED color really did it for me! I would give the cables 5 stars if it weren't for these two flaws! PS I emailed the company who sold them to me and am waiting for a response. I will edit my review as soon as I share it with them as customer service should be given an opportunity to correct the error before fully assessing the product.
