text: Worst cable I have had to date for my iphone. It's so stiff if you move it at all while plugged in, it disconnects. I have to carefully plug it in all the way and it doesn't give that really solid click feel, then if disturbed at all it loses connection. I have another Anker Powerline 1 cable and it has been great. Not sure how the II can go backwards. My window to return has closed so I guess I'll contact them directly and see if they will replace with a different cable.
