OtterBox USB-A to USB-C Cable, 2M - Black

Love this cable! I can actually use my devices when I have them charging thanks to the length (2M) but it’s not so long that it gets in the way. The braided nylon cable seems like it would last longer than other cables. The ends are well-reinforced well past the connection and don’t look likely to fray after repeated uses. Even with the length, I don’t see a difference in charging time, but I didn’t actually test the times. It comes with a piece that holds the cable together when rolled – I like it better than Velcro because it doesn’t stick to anything else when I toss it in the drawer. I highly recommend it.

This review is for OtterBox Premium USB-A to USB-C Cable, 3M - Dark ASH The color says dark ash, but its pretty much black. Its 2 meters so approximately 6 feet long and it works well. The cable comes with a little rubber tie that is pretty difficult to maneuver but it works well once it is on. I did struggle with it to take it off and put it back on when I wanted to make the cable longer/shorter, but it works well. I probably prefer velcro ties more though, but its appreciated that it came with it. I charged a samsung galaxy phone with its original charger brick and the cord was able to fast charge the phone. Awesome! It also seems to charge an ipad mini 6 fine but slower due to me using a charger brick that is smaller than what it originally came with. Price wise, its pretty typical that charging cords that have reinforcing along the cord (not just plastic casing) and 2 meters long are more expensive. The price doesnt surprise me at almost $27. But time will tell if this cord holds up to the bending etc.

Feels heavy duty. Stiff braided cord, heavy TPU feel rubber plugs. Super premium wire tie. Works when plugged in. As with ANY cable we use the recommendation is going to be based on long term survivability. So its another long term test with photos for this one. Gonna beat the hell out of it, as I do with most cablea. Reports to follow.

Ive used this cable to charge my S21 and found it compatible. My phone charged at its normal rate, so this isnt a fast charging cable. The length is just right for plugging it in beside my bed at night so I can still use it comfortably while lying down. Since it isnt fast charging, I ended up using it to power my indoor security camera. I needed a cable longer than what the manufacturer supplied and this worked well for that purpose. No issues, seems durable and does what it should. Other cheaper cables work just as well, but I do like the Otter Box brand.

Its thick and long like I like. Its a fine cable.

This otterbox cables looks to be as tough as their phone cases. Its extremely long and will allow full charging by QC 3 standards. Its fabric covered and should hold up very well. The connectors are metal and have decent strain relief. You plan on having a charging cable in a car/truck that will get rough treatment, this should do well for you.

The cord is thicker and does not have the floppy, super flexible feel to it of the OEM cord that came with my iPad. It has a nice Velcro strap attached for wrapping. Everything about it feels well made. The box states a more than 3,000 bends so I am looking forward to having this for a long while.

This cable has the feel like the OEM apple cable and the quality thats even better.

Ive purchased a few USB-C cords from various companies in the last couple of years, and lets just say some of the off-brand ones are having some issues with bending, as in the rubber near the head of the cable start to tear and rip and the wires show. Once that happens, I toss it. So far, the Otterbox cable is holding up well and showing no signs of wear, which is exactly as I want. I am also not getting the slow charge warnings anymore. The storefronts, especially the e-tailers, are filled with no-brand type cords, and I am starting to notice the quality difference. I just need a few more of these to replace my other subpar purchses.

This cable is nice and thick and sturdy, and I love that it comes with a Velcro cable tie attached at the end. The worst part about using any cable is the fact that it needs to be wrapped up when you are done using it (at least for me it does). Having the cable tie already affixed to the end makes it super easy to keep it organized! I also love how the connector is big enough for me to grab it firmly so I can easily plug and unplug it. At 6.6, the length is perfect for my needs. Again, having that cable tie at the end makes all the difference in the world. Even if it is a bit too much cord for some places, I can keep the unused portion wrapped up. I have added photos comparing this USB-A to USB-C cable to the USB-C to USB-C cable that came with my Apple iPad Pro. The Apple cable is short, skinny, and difficult for me to grab. The connector on the Otterbox is so comfortable, while the Apple connector actually hurts my fingertips a little. The only downside is that one end of this cable (USB-A) is somewhat older technology and plugs into a power source that will not charge as fast. Since USB-C is newer and most Apple products (ie: iPhone, Apple Watch) do not even include a power source nowadays, this will help to charge our devices with the equipment we have on hand.
