Can anyone recommend a good web site to buy iPhone cables for the iPhone 5 and 5S. every week someone in the family either loses one or breaks one i promise. i have 6 iPhones 5's and 6 iPads all using the new cables. i was just wondering if there was a place to get a good deal on cables.

thank you

I want to be honest as I also have a child with an ipad mini.

Every kind of aftermarket cable I tried broke or did not charge (with latest software), it was just a waste of money. There may be some aftermarket choices that Apple approves such as Belkin or something, but they won't be cheap but perhaps a bit more sturdy.

I do not recall where, but there was a link for OEM cables in bulk packaging for about $10/pc. That might be a good idea!
 
Our local £1 shop in Cambridge sells both lightning and 30 pin cables. (For £1 obviously)

Monoprice has great deals on cables.
 
I think Amazon has their own branded iPhone cables, do they not? If you're a Prime member, that would make it quick and easy.

Amazon Basic Cables. OP I know how you feel. I don't have as many gadgets as you do but I know how quickly they can disappear. The cables work with the products and are cheaper. They also come in different sizes.
 
yes, buy them from monoprice, they have a lifetime warranty and are the cheapest officially licensed cables you can buy.

Both Belkin and Amazon cables have given me problems, but never the monoprice lighting cables.
 
How about these, especially for the kids (for girls):
Certified by Apple - Lifetime Warranty - Bundle of 2 Extra Long 6.5 Feet 8-Pin Lightning USB Charger Cables for iPhone 5 5c 5s iPod Touch 5 Nano 7 iPad 4 iPad mini iPad Air - for Sync and Charging - Premium MFi Quality (Pink + Blue)

Their is also a black and white version but I do not see it listed at this time.
