Need iphone 5 cables

[Flames89]

Hey CP,
Quick question (don't feel like searching). I need a couple new iphone 5 charging cables and I have a buddy who could also use a couple more.
Any suggestions of where to get 5+ cables for a good price and aren't crap?
Thnx

Monoprice.

Keep the order under 4lbs and you can use the cheaper USPS option.

7-11 has them 5 each

Are these cables actual apple ones or are they the type that you get the whole "This accessory is not compatible" and it no longer works?

I've tried a handful of the cheaper lightning cables and I think the "best" one gave me 6 charges before it gave me the message and never worked again.

Rona has them for a decent price too.

Monoprice brand, but Apple certified (just read in the description - they have non-certified too IIRC). I refuse to use non-certified with the lightning cable.

I've had them on an ipad and a phone for a few months, no issue.

I used to buy cheaper iPhone cables, and would play "not supported" roulette. Then one time my wife's phone was dead and the cable that was charging it had a scorch mark on it. Fortunately Apple covered the phone under their "no questions asked" warranty. However since then I decided I would rather spend $100 on the right cables than to worry about my $700 phone needing to be replaced.

I bought some Monoprice lightning cables from Amazon. I have Prime so I ended up getting them cheaper than if I ordered them directly.

Bought a bunch of these retractable cables a month ago. Love em.

Great for the car, or even plugged into this

Their cables are a great deal.

The cables I saw at Rona were RCA branded if that helps.

Monoprice cables are all Apple Certified, they changed about a year ago when Apple kicked up a stink, IIRC

123inkcartridges.ca has them as well. They are based in Vancouver. I got my order in about 3 days. Super cheap - but the cables feel really good.

123ink is my monoprice replacement now

Little bump as I was just going to purchase a couple cables as my replacement one from July is dying and saw that Monoprice actually has them on sale for $9.67. The shipping to Canada if you choose small packet from Canada Post is about $3.60.

Edit: Apparently it was a flash deal. It was over at midnight.
