Customer Reviews & Ratings for Native Union BELT XL Lightning-to-USB 3M Cable

I’ve gone through 4-5 of the flimsy white charging cables in a couple of years. I Have had this cable for 2 years and it is still working great!! I also take the time to wind it up and use the leather strap. I plan on buying another one to use in my car. The one in my car is one of those flimsy white ones and it has broken in less than a year.

I have a one year old that likes to chew on my iPhone cords for some unknown reason. I went from buying them every two weeks to I've had this one for over 6 months until she got up one night and chewed that one too. I have one in my car and lost it. But they wires never started popping out on either like the regular apple ones do. So good don't know anything else about wires except all the rubber plastic or whatever they are ones aren't good to me because with in a month the wires are out

I purchased these cables around one year ago today, and was astonished after they lasted almost all this time. Unfortunately, the cable did give out last week. After emailing the Native Union, they offered to replace the charging cable, provided that I provide proof of purchase, along with a photograph of the cables cut in half to prove they were inoperable. Their response was quick, the support team was helpful, and I now have two new cables! I would certainly recommend this product, as there are few 10 foot cables on the market that compete.

I'm a 50+ male who uses it at his bedside to charge my cell phone, once a day, overnight. The first one lasted a couple of months and the second one lasted short of 6 months. I called their customer service, during hours of operation, and you can only leave a message and nobody called me back!

I think this is a case of only people that were angry about it took the time to vent and write a review. ive had 3 of these (dog keeps chewing them) and ive never had any issues. yes the cord does fray a bit where all cords would but you have to be resting this thing on something every single night for it to actually break. its no magic fix to the issue but the placement of the charging port will cause this problem no matter how great the charging cable could ever be. that being said i LOVE this cable and don't waste my time on any other cables anymore. the extra long cord paired with the reinforced wrapping means it lasts 2x as long as the XL original apple cables no matter how you uses it.

over all its a great product but if you misuse it obviously it will break as well.

I bought this cable for my father, who was hospitalized and then in skilled nursing for many months. He was more or less confined to a hospital bed the entire time, and his iPad was the only thing keeping him sane. The Apple supplied cable was WAY to short for using in these environments, so I picked him up the Native Union 10ft braided cable. It took a lot of abuse during those months, and is still working flawlessly 10+ months later. My dad is very happy with the cable, but also the freedom it have him. When my dad is happy, I'm happy. This product gets a big thumbs up from me.

Great product, this definitly surpasses the standard apple cables (which only lasted 2 months each) while this native union cable have lasted me 10+ months with no problems. Very durable and gives you more bang for your buck having replacement 1m apple lightning cables be 30 bucks while this 3m cable costing 35 bucks and lasting for almost a year without problems

Bought without reading reviews. Just received this yesterday. Lightening connector falls out with the slightest movement. Frustrating since I bought this to replace other 3rd party cords with the same problem after a year of use. This one didn't make it even one day. Apple cables don't have this problem nearly as much. They shouldn't sell this in the Apple Store. When I go to Walmart I know I'm buying lower quality but shame on Apple to not read these reviews and pull the product.
