Lightning cable - $3.50 shipped ($0.75 + $2.75 shipping) after code on Amazon.com
 
When you use code LTNGWHTE, it comes out to $0.75 plus S&H. For $3.50 shipped with good reviews, seems like a decent/warm deal. It’s also 4 feet in length, which is longer than Apple’s original.

Doesn’t work work with Prime/FSSS, so you have to pick the $9.70 + $2.75 option.

its_me48 02-22-2013 12:40 PM

Repped. Got 2 for $7 (need to place order twice).

bijju 02-22-2013 12:45 PM

got two ... hope fully it works fine

bee46 02-22-2013 12:46 PM

In for 2 as well. and fyi, that requires two separate orders (my experience anyway)

Thanks OP.

adamant 02-22-2013 12:47 PM

Hmm, I wanted to test the "honey" plug in, it did not find this coupon.

Thanks, in for 1.

Xray30 02-22-2013 12:49 PM

Nice picked one up.

HailRedskins 02-22-2013 12:49 PM

Ordered two as well. I had to order it twice using the code individually for each cable ordered. Doesn't seem to work properly when ordering multiples.

technogy 02-22-2013 12:52 PM

which listing? Shows $12

bee46 02-22-2013 12:57 PM

Ordered a recent similar Tanga deal ($6 + $4 s&h, ordered 2) and found on one cable the connection so tight when plugging into the phone that it would not release. The sheath around the connector came loose when attempting to remove and ended up damaging the cable. Seems to be a concern with most of the after market cables. (To give Tanga credit, they refunded the full purchase amount and the other cable, although too very snug fit, is working OK.)

As am in for 2 of these, am hoping not to having similar problems here.

Thanks OP

zigner 02-22-2013 01:06 PM

Read the reviews ordered by date. There are way too many "it broke" or "it doesn't work" reviews to think this is a good product. I had another cheap one that has some of the same issues as this one. I just cancelled my order after reading up on this.

shojus 02-22-2013 01:08 PM

In for 2 separate orders... They only take off the discount in quantities of one. THANKS OP!!

ScorpioRising 02-22-2013 01:08 PM

Repped, and in for one!

Philosopher 02-22-2013 01:09 PM

Looks like SD effect went into place. Promo code doesn't work for the seller. :rolleyes:

Oh nevermind. Added the wrong listing to my cart.

That's the best part of ordering from Amazon is that you don't have to worry if something is going to be defective cause they will ALWAYS refund you even if they were not the seller... They have excellent customer service and I will take a chance on spending $7.00 for 2. :D

HailRedskins 02-22-2013 01:12 PM

Just realized this vendor, "GadgetGush" only has 12 reviews all from January until now. I hope these aren't knock off Boxwave cables they're selling.

mtgredline 02-22-2013 01:16 PM

Thanks ordered one.

jhun_hapi 02-22-2013 01:21 PM

Tnks OP ordered 2..

dahlberg123 02-22-2013 01:24 PM

They do not work with iOS 6.1.

I bought one and it quit working after the iOS 6.1 update and when plugged into my computer it would randomly reboot.

Read the reviews but make sure to order by newest first :)

desideratum 02-22-2013 01:25 PM

yep and if this is a boxwave product it is probably pretty good quality...

Unless you use it for 32 days and the iOS update comes out and breaks compatibility, they then tell you too bad so sad.

yes, seems reasonable for a case to decrease your signal horribly. Was it made of lead?

What OS are you running? I find it pretty amazing that a usb cable could bring down an OS. Would love to see the log messages reported when it happens.
Anyways, for $4 its still useful to plug directly into a wall charger.

Chow 02-22-2013 01:43 PM

In for 2 also. Thanks!

Window 8 Pro

I think I have enough CPU and RAM on this box to handle it :) [imgur.com]

Does he mean 'it' his computer or his phone cable?
My generic cable I got on Amazon stopped working after update as well.

natedj 02-22-2013 03:01 PM

They have NEVER turned me down for anything... Seriously, I have been a Prime customer since they offered Prime and I also sell on Amazon and they will take care of you! You may need a 2nd rep to talk to, but they will make it right somehow, as long as you are friendly! :look:

xFierce 02-22-2013 07:17 PM

Again guys you need order ONE separately to get the price to be $3.50. Otherwise if you add more than one you'll be paying a ridiculous price. You may reorder again. Also, as the OP stated make sure you select the "$9.70 + $2.75 option."

This happened to me too ~ I didn't think to contact them though, and tossed it :(

Found this on ebay
 
eBay has iphone 5 lightning cables for as cheapskate as $3.00 each (shipped) different quantities available from this seller I bought 20 for $60.00

http://www.ebay.com/itm/181093095...1555.l2649

technogy 03-12-2013 05:57 PM

defective have to jam into iphone. Plastic sheath coming off. This is garbage. Contacting for a refund. I hope all do the same before throwing it out. Don't let the seller get away with this.

emaij 03-13-2013 12:12 AM
