My daughter and husband both have iPads. Both have gone through multiple lightening cables. As many of you know (or you wouldn't be looking for a new one) The cable that accompanies a new iPad/iPhone can be pretty delicate. After a few months of wear and tear the cables begin to fray, break, peel and basically just come apart at the connections. If you like us, are looking for an aftermarket lightening cable that is durable, aesthetically pleasing and also Apple approved, you my friend are have found the right listing. This handy nylon replacement lightening cable for iPad or iPhone comes in a variety of attractive colors and it is not only tough, it does not tangle, does not bend at the connectors and fits nicely into most iPad cases. I highly recommend this cable to anyone looking to upgrade to a tougher cable option. I was offered this product at a discount in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion. http://www.amazon.com/Certified-Braided-Tangle-Free-Lightning-Charging/dp/B017VPDHGK?keywords=lightning+cable #purcablesilver
