I almost gave up on our iPad! We already replaced the digitizer screen five times, the USB power adapter once and the sync and charge cable twice. When the cable was damaged for the third time, I said to myself that I wouldn’t buy anything for the iPad again. That is why I was happy when Accessorise Your Life (AYL) offered to send me a free Apple certified 3-feet lightning cable in exchange for an honest product review on my blog.
Features of the Apple Certified 3 Feet Lightning Cable from AYL

My Verdict
The AYL Apple certified 3-feet lightning cable looks durable and quality made. It is very similar with the original cables from Apple, except that it has the AYL logo. The length (3 feet) is convenient. It is compatible with my iPad and I didn’t see any difference in its performance with the lightning to USB cable from Apple (which is almost twice its cost).
Buying Advice
This 8-pin lightning to USB cable is available at Amazon in two lengths, 3 feet and 6 feet. The product that I have is 3 feet and it was originally priced at $19.99. It is currently on sale for $10.99 and will qualify for free shipping if your total order exceeds $35.
