Having only 1 cable is absolutely not enough to use iPhone, but really don't like paying $19 to buy a same one. There are many different types of iPhone cables when it's still the old type. Is there no something special about lightning cable now??? :mad:
 
The Amazon connector looks like it might not fight most cases, but the Griffin one looks slim enough to fit many. If anybody has the Griffin USB-Lightning cable, can you measure the width or compare to the OEM lightning cable?
 
I've bought several of the OEM style lightning cables off eBay for about $4-5 bucks each. Every one of them has worked great and fit the same as the OEM cable.

My friend just told me an interesting cable. Just planning to buy a portable speaker, seems useful for me.

The idea only has one problem: A Micro-USB cable and a Lightning to Micro USB adapter do the exactly same thing, cost you about 1/3 of the Orobis, plus it's less bulky.

Also, it's more expensive than Apple's Lightning cable.

Anyways, whoever may came up with the idea first, the Scosche I2MR is the pretty much the same thing, but Scosche does actually offer licensed cables.
