Found them in a cardboard box standing in the aisle at my local Lowe's in Palm Desert, Calif. It was a treasure hunt, they seem to move them every night. They had 50 in stock. It was a mix of USB to Lightning cables, USB to USB-C, and USB to USB micro cables, They work, so far.

Grabbed a bunch of C's and they seem pretty decent. Definitely Thicker gauge then most of the really cheap ones.

Well hopefully someone will reply where they are at in the store when they find them. They seem pretty widely available around me.

Was trying to find these at my store. Two employees were just hanging around talking, I went up and asked them, one of them kept pretending that they couldn't hear me and forced me to yell. Then they said they don't carry anything to do with cars or electronics and I should go somewhere else. Found them on shelves in the corner near the bathrooms.

How dare you you interrupt them at their place of business!

The wireless charger seems to work great so far. For a buck, it's working exceptional.

Canceled my pickup order. Brickseek showed 32 in stock when ordering, either they were really low or someone cleaned them out.

Found the box on a random aisle. Tried a few and none worked with two iPhone 12s. Finally tried an iPhone 8 and it worked. However, both iPhone 12s work with a cheap Anker Qi charger.

Not MFI certified, if anyone was wondering. Going to bring the 6 back that I got. Very minimal packaging, just a wrapper with a UPC code.

Found some in a cardboard dump bin along the main back aisle. Got about a dozen since they seem to die randomly (even MFI ones). Hopefully these last me at least a couple years.

Edit: just checked my stash and these are indeed labeled as MFI certified on the packaging.

According to Apple [apple.com], any product displaying the MFI badge on their packaging is MFI certified. These Uber cables have the MFI badge.

Also, using these cables does not give the "This Cable or Accessory Is Not Certified" [howtogeek.com] message.

So, it would appear that these cables are MFI certified.

But upon further limited research, these cables may in fact be counterfeit.

The company that distributes these cables is Jasco Products LLC [byjasco.com], and has a Uber webpage [byjasco.com] that has the cable with a different UPC [byjasco.com]. The specs mention no certification.

Home Depot [homedepot.com] once sold the cable now discontinued, and mentions "No Certifications or Listings."

Jasco is not mentioned in Apple's MFI certification list [apple.com]

And, Apple's own counterfeit MFI page [apple.com] gives examples of counterfeit cables that the Uber cables appear to match.

So, it does appear that these Uber cables are possibly MFI counterfeits.
