Snakable has a unique solution to the classic cable weak spot: plastic ball-jointed “armor.” The company has put three rotating ball joints at each neck of its Armored Apple MFi Lightning cable for reinforcement and to prevent users from over-bending. At $30, this extra-reinforced cable is expensive but potentially worth it. Snakable also offers a 3-year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.
SnakableSnakable’s cable is like the Apple cable on steroids: Longer, thicker, stronger, and with ball joints at each end. The Lightning connector, USB plug, and ball-jointed “armor” are all housed in shiny, durable plastic; the Lightning connector’s housing is a little thicker than Apple’s, but I didn’t have any issues using this cable with snug cases.
