These were mentioned in an earlier thread, but were still $13.50. They are now at the $9.50 sale price.
I ordered one yesterday.

So are all Lightning cables of this quality USB 2?

Is there such a thing as a USB 3 lightning cable, or is there no current need for such?

Oh - and there's no reason for USB3, none of the iOS devices have USB2 ports.

I suppose that'll have to wait for 'Lightning II', or 'Apple's Revenge' when they shut out all of the cheap third party knockoffs.

I just ordered the cable and a NuGuard case for my miniR, $41 shipped Priority Mail.

In for three! My clients are always asking for a "spare"; on my last business trip, I started with four and came home with only one.

Thanks!!

I was going to order a couple more.

I just wish they were 6'. I ordered 9' from Amazon; it's just a little longer than I'd like.

I missed the original link, so thanks for the repost. I may order two to have in each car. I bought one at Best Buy a couple of month ago for full price, but I had some Reward bucks that were expiring.

Carm - how did you get .99 shipping? I'm getting quoted $3.59.

There was a gap in a discount freight range... 3 cables were less to ship than 2 smiling smiley
fixed...
99 cents covers 1 - but 2 not less than $2

thanks!

Thanks Larry. You could have also left it as-is and said the .99 shipping was a special for buying three. I would have probably added an extra just for that savings on shipping (the going broke by saving mind-set).

Order placed.

99 cent I only saw applying to 1 - weight cost jumps why 2 and 3 more.... But was a gap creating unintentional jump on the 2 unit basket ... Now &1.95 and $2.95 for 2 and 3 respectively

Or free on most baskets $49 and up of course smiling smiley

For you pikers still wondering if the cheap Lightning cable deals you see are worth it, let me save you a few bucks and a LOT of frustration: they aren't. Here's a great article on the subject:

[thewirecutter.com]
I was surprised, but the lightning cable you should buy is Apple’s standard cable, which is ~$18 on Amazon or $19 at the Apple Store. Having to pay premium prices for something as basic as a cable can come across as insulting, but chances are that your phone is mission critical, so spending a few extra bucks for peace of mind is worth it. Saving the cost of a fast-food dinner simply is not worth the risk of getting stuck with a dead phone and nonfunctioning cable while traveling.

I agree with every word and maxed out OWC Larry's deal. Thanks Larry!

I should have. I went back for two more and they would have been $2 cheaper each, since I got a case for my miniR.

But I ordered anyway because it's still a great deal. Cheapies failed me or once that gave me a warning under iOS6 stopped working completely in iOS7.
