You’d be right to think there wouldn’t be much to say about a third party lightning cable for Apple iPhone 5 and newer devices (which of course includes recent iPads). That’s because the questions about what makes a good cable are simple.

• Is it high quality?
• Does it both charge and sync?
• Is it recognized as a supported accessory?
• Does it fit through the vast majority of cases?
• Does the manufacturer stand behind their product?

How the Lightning Supplies Certified Lightning Cable comes packaged.

In that regard, the Lightning Supplies Certified Lightning Cable answers all of those questions with a resounding “yes,” and then some. The then some is a sub-$10 price for 3 feet of cable and a lifetime replacement warranty. That’s a value proposition that few, if any other third party cables can match.

The Lightning Supplies Certified Lightning Cable is designed to work with the vast majority of cases. I actually had to previously modify my case (you can probably see where I cut) because I was using a different third party cable that didn’t fit!
