Default [ot] best usb charging cable for phone?

Maybe he is just cack handed or has a cat which plays with the end of the
cable.

Hello,

I am looking for a usb cable (usb A to micro usb B IIRC) to charge a
Samsung phone. One came with the phone but I'd like to replace it with
a longer one and I'd like a second to leave in the car.

I have bought different makes but they all fail after a while because
the metal micro USB plug becomes loose and waggles about in the
plastic moulding of the plug. The OEM plug is made of hard plastic and
does not suffer this problem (yet?).

Any recommendations for what cable will stand-up to repeated pluggings
and unpluggings?

Thanks,
Stephen.


I frequently use Poundland ones without problems. The oldest one has
done 3 years duty.
