I bought this item today and I am very pleased with it. It's the perfect size of cable for being transported around on a day to day basis. I think great value of this product can be achieved, by using it for charging iPhones/ipads from laptops. The cable braiding on the exterior is average and protects the interior wires well, but I have purchased similar 10cm cables that have had wider circumference ratios compared to this product, and they have a more industrial (stronger exterior which in my opinion protects the inner cables more). The price is slightly higher than I expected, but all in all a helpful cable, especially if you are someone who is on the go.
