I was considering buying a spare lightning cable so that I can charge my phone at work.  When I looked on the Apple site I came across the perfect thing - a keychain.

It looks great and ideal, however when I have read reviews online, I have found that, although it is useful, people are saying that it is not worth the money.

It is not an Apple product and therefore it is not covered by the usual Apple warranty so that puts me off it a bit.

Does anyone have one of these? Or can you recommend anything similar?

Review of product

So I bought the pink bag cable from Maplin.  It arrived late last week.  I must say, first impressions of it, I am a bit disappointed by it.  It cost £16.99 but it looks like something that I could get from a pound shop.  It looks flimsy but also stiff at the same time.  When it closes together, it's extremely stiff and tight and I am afraid of trying to pull it apart too hard incase it breaks it. The colour is bright pink, but part of it is like a dirty pink.  It looks quite different from the pictures on the Maplin website.  But I guess as long as it does the job that I wanted it to do then it's ok.

I'd give it 6 out of 10 Whistle

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone else slight_frown

Hi @gemz4the1

Thank you for your review.

Does it allow both charging and syncing ok.

It does sound like you don't have much confidence in the cable. 😞

I was looking at some versions on Amazon that are on a retracting reel.

But I decided against it and stuck with the original from Apple.

Hope all goes ok with your choice.
