Could be better, could be worse.
It's very good quality compared to some cables that come in the box of your devices. I'd say it's similar to an Anker braided cable, so these ones definitely are more expensive. Since the quality is roughly equal, I'd say you're paying for the customer service and lifetime warranty for this one, not to mention that the cable looks awesome with their other products.I've had two of these so far, both of which have issues. In all fairness, the customer service is excellent at quickly resolving the problems. My first unit's USB-A connector broke, and they sent a replacement quickly and free of charge. The replacement unit has started fraying around the USB-C connector, but it doesn't affect functionality at all. When it breaks I'll probably request a replacement again. It's a pretty good cable.

Warranty is worthless, product discontinued
I bought this back in 2017 and it broke recently (see picture). I contacted nonda via email, gave them all the info they needed to replace it, then they told me they no longer make a USB-C cable, so they can't replace it (yet it's still for sale on Amazon). They said they would give me a $10 coupon for a future purchase, but its only good through their website, not Amazon, so i have to pay full price to replace the cable.The cable was great while it worked, but don't have faith in the warranty since they won't be able to replace it.

Spend your money elsewhere.
Wont fast charge after 2 months. Haven't been rough or misused this cord in the slightest. In fact, I have used it rather sparingly. I have much cheaper cords that still work fine after much more wear and tear and for much longer of a time. This cord is expensive by any measure and i thought it would at least last longer than a couple months. Thoroughly disappointed.

Unique niche Product!
I needed a charging cord for the cigarette lighter in my vehicle that did not interfere with the ignition (key) right next to it.I purchased the Nonda ZUS USB-A to USB-C cable on a whime, and was Amazed by how well it is made! I have purchased a number of ANKER Power+ cables, and this is of the same quality with a 90 degree bend right where I needed it. Well worth the price!

Fast charges.
I got this for my husband after seeing about it on Indiegogo. It's sturdy, we haven't tested running over it but we've had it for a good month or so and it hasn't shorted out. Also, it does have fast charging capabilities. I've gotten other cables from amazon that ended up not working with fast charging but luckily this one works.

Great data/charging cable!
I got several of these when Zus was a Kickstarter. After I started using devices with USB-C ports, I needed another one (and another Lightning cable, also). These are very durable, yet very pliable. I think they are my favorite cable!

one month in and seems to be cat-proof
love this cable! my cat chews through cables like nobody's business and he hasn't gone through this one yet. gives a nice rapid charge when used in conjunction with the wall charger that came with my nexus 5x and the nonda USB-C to USB 3.0 Mini Adapter [World's Smallest] Aluminum Body with Indicator LED for Macbook Pro 2016, MacBook 12-inch and other Type-C Devices (Space Gray) . yay kevlar!

It was quick to see that this is a cord above the rest.
I happened across this on Kickstarter or something akin to that and was impressed with the video. Who wouldn't want a lifetime warranty on the one thing that gives out the quickest?It came in an impressive box, not a bag like others I have bought. Right off I could tell this was a quality product and would hold up as promised. I found that the velco strap was not just for shipping, but is attached for easy storage.I just started using it and it has impressed me on how flexible it is and do not have the same level of concern at the plugs as I do with my old ones.

was a Warning for UK users - now updated
UPDATE: I previously commented negatively on the orientation of the USB A port compared to the micro USB version of this cable. However I must say that the orientation is subjective and also depends upon the charger being used. In its favour this orientation does allow both USB C and micro USB to be used together in a dual port charger.I would also comment that after having used this for some time and quite heavily it is holding up very well. Good product.END OF UPDATE.Has previously bought the micro usb version of this cable and that was fine. This one however has the USB A port mounted in the opposite direction thereby rendering it fairly useless for using with side mounted port chargers. With this cable the cord is pointing towards the outlet, stupid. The micro usb version is fine and allows using a side mounted port charger on a double wall socket in the UK, this one will not! Just a warning.

Impressive durability
I was a little sceptical spending this much on a USB-C cable but I have been well and truly converted. It has become my only take-everywhere cable. I'm regularly travelling and on construction sites in my work and this has coped with everything so far. It's still as good as new. The right angled type A connector is a great feature and makes using this with a car charger a much more tidy solution. My admiration to nonda for creating a truly durable cable. Hopefully it continues to serve me well for a long time and the lifetime warranty is a great comfort.

The best charging cable
This cable, I've ended up buying a few of these now. They are the best cables, I use them at home in the car and at work. It fast charges, the cable is super strong, and the connections are extremely durable. I highly recommend these cables to everyone

Charges and works with data transfer in the car
It works well, it charges my phone and is also compatible with Android Auto in my car, The right angle usb A end also allows me to close the accessory tray without having to unplug it. So far all is good. I will update this review if needed.

Not that tough
While the cable may be tough the plugs at the ends are nothing special. My two year old grabbed the cable from where it was plugged into the car adapter and in pulling it out twisted the end of the plug straight off.
