Don't Pay More,

This review is from: White 6 Foot USB Charge and Sync Cable Cord for iPod, iPhone, iPad (Bulk Packaging) (Electronics)
I will compare 2 similar cords from different suppliers at different prices. Purchase date was 11/29/2011.
My wife was complaining that the charge cord for her iPad2 was too short so, as usual, I checked Amazon to see what was out there and since I wanted a longer cord for my iPhone I thought I'd get one for me, too. So, I ordered 2 long (6 ft.) cords and got them from different suppliers to see what worked better. I ordered the cords from RND ($10.99) and from Gator ($3.79).
These cords are virtually identical and the build quality on both appeared very good. They both connected solidly to the iPad2 and iPhone 3GS and syncing worked everytime. (One other cord I had purchased some time back from a different vendor did not always prompt a sync with iTunes when plugged in.)

The only reason this item wouldn't get five stars from me is if it fell apart right away or didn't do what it was suppose to. Seeing as it still is in one piece after a week, feels as sturdy as my apple cable, syncs up with my laptop, and charges, I am a happy man. I have heard of issues with cables not being able to sync, so I spent an extra dollar or two and got this one, and have had success. Do yourself a favor and spend an extra dollar to not risk it. You'll be happy too!

BEWARE: CONNECTOR HEAD IS THICKER THAN APPLE SUPPLIED SYNC CORD,

BEWARE the connector plug is not identical in dimension as the original apple supplied sync cord, it is thicker. I returned these Gator Crunch and I brought cord name: COSMOS ® White Extra Long 6ft 6' 6 feet USB Charge and Sync Data Cable which connector plug is just a thin as Apple supplied original sync cord. I originally ordered these Gator Crunch cords so that I can use it to connect with my iPhone, which is in a LifeProof waterproof case. I discovered the connector head which looks identical to the original apple supplied sync cord but is much thicker and can not fit through my iPhone case. With the product's description, they should disclose that the connector is not the same as Apple supplied original sync cord and is a bit thicker, it may not fit all iPhone cases.
