I had the supplied Apple cablethat came with my iPod Nano start to have the
rubberized coating start to pull away from the connector. I just wrapped
black electrical tape around it tightly. I'm still using that cable. It
sits on my night stand and is connected to my iGo charger.

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.

I've had a 3gs, a 4 and now have a 5, actually had the 4S for quite a wile

didn't deliberately try to see if i could ruin them, I wouldn't at all say
that i treated them as delicate!

Hi Wren,
Just so you know, if you stop using your iPhone cable as a dog leash they
do
last longer *smile*
OK, joking aside, apart from what Rob said about getting a battery case
which you then charge with a micro USB cable there are no alternatives. Of
course you can buy third-party cables all over the web from companies like
Amazon and even those super cheap sites like Monoprice.com, but I doubt
they
would last longer than the Apple cables.
I have had an iPod and iPhones for 3 and a half years now and I have 2 or
3
Apple original cables and about 3 6 foot cables from various places where
I
was able to pick one up cheap. I had 1 Apple cable go bad on me and 1 of
my
other cables in that time and personally find that as long as you make
sure
you grab the actual connector to pull it out and not the cable they are
pretty reliable. I can't remember who it was recently on the list who said
the same about the new Lightning cable and that they break all the time. I
don't have a lightning connector device yet, but when I googled it you do
find some reports that they break easily, but not actually very many and
there really is no reason why the Lightning cable, for example, should be
worse than a micro or Mini USB and it's of course better in that you can
plug it in either way.
One thing you might want to try is that after you get a new cable, wrap a
few layers of electrical tape around the plug and especially where the
plug
joins the cable to make that part stronger and more protected.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi all, and thank you for the help. It seems that the ends of my Apple
cables that connect to the iPhone always get messed up. I was wondering if
anyone knows of any alternatives to this cable. Any help and advice would
be
very much appreciated. When I take the phone to the Apple Store, they are
always nice about replacing the cables. I would like something though that
I
did not have to keep going to the store and getting replacements for. God
bless and happy Easter to all. Wrene
