Just had another one die this morning.I bought a 3m woven (no snag) cable for my wife's iPad and it died last month with no obvious damage. I'm bummed because it was the perfect cable for her needs and now she's using her original Lightning cable and the USB extension cable from my MacPro since I didn't need it.
Thank God I got 100 of them for $79
Was going to resell them, but having second thoughts now
