Can't beat Paracable. Seems to be basically indestructible and cat-proof. Fast charging as well.

The only downsides are that they charge slower than plugged chargers, and they're not really designed for use in a vehicle.

I've found the wireless chargers often won't work if your phone is in a csse. For me it was more hassle to keep taking the case on and off than to just find another cord.

I just bought one of these Anker cables.

It's a stout cable. I liked the multiple connector options so I can get away with only carrying one cable when I travel. A lifetime warranty but I see it's currently unavailable.

I have purchased every model of Anker power cord (lightning and usb-c) and they don't last any longer than the other guy, but they are more expensive (excluding the fly by night guys).

I just buy a bunch of the monoprice mfi certified lightning cables and call it a day. Lifetime warranty and you'll eventually have a spare that you can keep in rotation.

Just know they will always break and resign yourself to carry a spare.

I used a long Anker braided cord. Over time the end cracked I imagine because of the weight of the cord. Anker has a great warrant. They replaced it. I used the reciept from Amazon, a picture of the cracked end and a picture of the serial number tag attached to the cord. They replaced it with no questions.

Anker just warranted a long braided one for me, too, about a year into it. Easy peasy.
