Cheryl and all: I have not had my cable break either, but I have seen a time when something broke on Me but everyone else seemed to be fine. I bought an extra cable just in case, though. They are probably made as cheaply as Apple can get away with. Way of business these days. Guess what I am saying is could be defective. Giving benefit of the doubt here, may really be the cable, not person. Let's be kind. JMO.

Maybe I am in the minority and have somehow gone unscathed, but I've had a 3gs, a 4 and now have a 5, actually had the 4S for quite a wile after getting the 5. I never had one cable break or malfunction and while I didn't deliberately try to see if i could ruin them, I wouldn't at all say that i treated them as delicate! -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.
