   This review is from: [Apple MFi Certified] Poweradd 30 Pin USB Charging and Sync Dock Connector Data Cable for iPhone 4S / 4, iPad 1 / 2 / 3, iPod Touch, iPod Nano – 4.0 Feet / 1.2 Meters (White) (Electronics)

   When I was offered a review sample I eagerly accepted. It seems that the only places you can get these 30-pin cables are at the Dollar stores and some of the big box and discount places. Usually the cables they offer are either junk or exorbitantly priced.

   This cable is well made and carries the Made For iPod/iPhone/iPad logo. To me that is worth a premium price because it’s Apple’s stamp of Approval saying that it was manufactured per Apple’s standards. Ironically, while it has premium features, its priced about the same as the lower quality cables you find at the discount stores.

   Another feature is the fact that this works flawlessly with the OEM charger that came with my iPad 2, and also synchs without hiccup to iTunes on my laptop. Some of the bargain cables either quickly fall apart or will not synch.

   Hopefully this company will continue selling this cable because finding one of this quality is becomming more and more difficult. A year ago I would have said, ‘meh’, but now I say five stars for making a decent, legacy cable available at a realistic price.

   This review is from: [Apple MFi Certified] Poweradd 30 Pin USB Charging and Sync Dock Connector Data Cable for iPhone 4S / 4, iPad 1 / 2 / 3, iPod Touch, iPod Nano – 4.0 Feet / 1.2 Meters (White) (Electronics)

   I have been using this cable almost daily for charging my iPad. It is going on six months or so since I purchased it and I haven’t had a single issue with it. I have purchased about four cables since I first got my iPad and this one is the first one that seems the most similar to the OEM from Apple.

   Both connectors snap in firmly and stay in. The cable has the right amount of flex to it and appears to be doing well.

   Overall, the best cable I have gotten so far for my iPad.

   Please feel free to ask any questions to my review in the comment section and I will try to quickly respond. I hope my review has been supportive, enlightening, or maybe just entertaining for you. My goal is to continue to help other Amazon shoppers make informed purchasing decisions in the sea of choices available. Thank you for taking the time and reading my review!

   An excellent replacement for my 30-pin Apple USB cable that was on its last leg …, September 16, 2014

   This review is from: [Apple MFi Certified] Poweradd 30 Pin USB Charging and Sync Dock Connector Data Cable for iPhone 4S / 4, iPad 1 / 2 / 3, iPod Touch, iPod Nano – 4.0 Feet / 1.2 Meters (White) (Electronics)

   For some reason, I’ve had a lot of problems finding a 30-pin USB charging cable for my 1st generation iPad. I use both my original iPad and my iPad Air continually and when one is charging, the other tends to be in use. My original 30-pin cable was simply falling apart, as in having to use electrical tape falling apart.

   Essentialy my USB cable was slowly becoming an unshielded one. I had to be very careful trying to get it connected to a charge and ultimately had to resort to a high capacity battery pack to get it moving. I was actually leaving the USB cable plugged into the iPad at all times.

   The cable connection was just so iffy. I had to play around to hear that all too familiar “blink.” With the Poweradd, which is Apple MFI certified, the connection was immediate and that blink was there. It was quite a relief because I was worried I’d have to buy yet another cable.

   FEATURES:

   ► Apple 30-pin connector to USB Type A cable.
   ► Certified by Apple (MFi), meets/exceeds Apple’s performance standards.
   ► 2-in-1 function: charging and transferring data at the same time.
   ► 4.0 feet(1.2 meter) durable cable completely meet your needs, light-weight and easily coiled.
   ► Compatible with iPhone 3G/3GS/4/4S, iPad 1/2/3, iPod nano 5th/6th generations and iPod Touch 3rd/4th generations.

   I think the problem with older cables I’d hurriedly purchased what that they were equally hurriedly manufactured. In other words, junk. The Poweradd 30-pin is is sturdy and just a tad thicker than my original Apple 30-pin USB. There’s no additional reinforcement at the connectors, but my unfortunate experience was a lesson learned. Don’t yank out the cable.

   There’s a very handy attached Velcro tie to keep the cable together after charging. Did it work well? It certainly did and the charge on the now aging iPad was rapid, as expected. I’m quite pleased with this cable and it worked as well as I hoped it would. It’s actually a relief to once again have a decent cable. If down the line it fails to perform, I’ll be back to edit.
