I'm late to this thread since I've been traveling and sorry if this suggestion has already been posted. If you have the short Apple-certified lightning cable which is working properly, you should be able to get a good USB extension cable and probably save a few dollars. These come in all lengths and getting a good-quality cable at a reasonable price should be fairly easy. Just make sure it has the standard Type A male USB plug on one end and the female USB plug on the other so it connects to itself like a snake eating its tail.

I bought them when I got my iPhone 5S a bit over a year ago. One I either misplaced or lost because I haven't seen it around for a long time. The other I have plugged in behind my bed and it works great both for charging when it's plugged in with the Apple wall adapter and I have also used it plugged in to the computer to sync, backup and upgrade iOS via iTunes. I never had a problem with that cable or a strange message which some people get when they are using a non Apple product. Most of the Monoprice product actually gets good reviews. When I bought that cable I also bought an all-in-one AC adapter which is just like any adapter you get with a multitude of devices and which plugs into your wall socket and it has an approx. six foot length of cable with a Lightning end. It also works perfectly for charging my iPhone and I have it in my office so I don't have to use another wall adapter. It also was around $10 or $12 from Monoprice. Just go to www.monoprice.com and you can search for Lightning cable or find links for iPhone accessories and narrow down the results that way, they have cases, cables, adapters, bluetooth speakers and headsets and also tons of inexpensive, good quality HDMI cables, switches and all that sort of stuff. They ship from California and shipping is inexpensive, not sure if it's free shipping in the US since I am in Canada. I think for the 2 Lightning Cables and that adapter I only paid something like $8 or $10 shipping to Canada.

They get such mediocre reviews on Amazon. Thanks, Traci -- The following information is important for all members of the viphone list. All new members to the this list are moderated by default.
