I'll continue to do a basic web search for you, in that case.

Can't vouch for quality, however.
yea i tried to buy before creating this thread but i get an error saying that the sellers paypal cant accept payments lol
[doublepost=1483780582][/doublepost]also ihave a question i see cables saying they are capable of 2.4A output
that will not be an issue as long as im using the original iphone charger right?

All of the reviews on amazon aren't too good for these types of cables plus you cannot transfer data.

One of my favorite YouTube users tested five different Lightning/USB magnetic cables and concluded that the WSKEN Mini 2 was best. While the magnetic connections on other cables were reversible, they only had magnets in the sockets, so they didn't always snap together properly. The WSKEN has magnets in both the sockets and plugs, so they properly aligned each time.

Here's the video if you're interested:
