I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit tired of having my phone charging cables biting the dust every 4 months. That's why this ultra-rugged universal charging cable leapt out at me as I was browsing to buy yet another 5-pack of charging cables.

The cable is made from tear-resistant ballistic nylon that was originally developed to protect from shrapnel and bullets. (Not surprisingly this nylon is also resistant to abrasions.) The wire is thick gauge made with kevlar, is protected by a double sleeve of PVC.

To top it all off, the cable is universal, so it's compatible with virtually any device, iPhone to Android.

Yep, it's a bit more expensive than the off-brand 5-pack of iPhone charging cables you'll find littered throughout Amazon, but it should last just a bit longer than the alternatives.
