Review on πŸ”Œ iKNOWTECH Micro USB Cable, Nylon Braided Data Charger Lead with Metal Plug, LED Indicator Light for Sony Xperia Z5 Pre/Z5 Mini/Z5/M5/Z3+/M4, Samsung Galaxy S2/S3/S4/S6/S7 Edge Plus & All Micro 5Pin Devices by Theresa Thomas

Revainrating 4 out of 5

The best magnetic charging cable, BUT.

PRO: I've tried several brands and this one (made by WSKEN) has the best design and strongest magnetic hold. But this makes it even more prone to attracting grit or "dirt" with a high metal content, and that grit/dirt on the mini-USB connector will interfere with a good connection to the cable. I wipe the connector on my pant leg to remove metal dust and the cord plugs into the connector and the phone charges in the vast majority of cases. CONS: The first plug didn't work reliably in my Note 4 even though it worked in my Galaxy S4 phone, but the second plug (I bought two sets) worked fantastic - about 2 months. Then it starts to crumble! I have ordered another one of this product so hopefully the problems with the first two plugs are just an accident and won't happen again. The other thing that's really annoying is that there doesn't seem to be a way to order a couple of plugs without matching cables. I have a lot of electronic devices and I want them all to have a plug. Has anyone else experienced the issue of a "too short" plug, or has their plug fallen apart after moderate use? One connector didn't work in my Note 4, although it works in my Galaxy S4 phone, just fine. I'm thinking the connector might just barely fit into the mini-USB port on my Note 4, so here it is
