I got one of these for my wife phone, it works great. It is cheap material, you can tell by touching it. After it lived in the car for a few months the cable sheared off right at the plastic base (just short enough that I couldn't fix it). So I ordered another one because this one is so cheap I could order several before its worth it to buy the store brand one. This time used electrical tape (you could also shrink wrap it) around the base where the cord goes into it and re-enforced it. It is still working. If it breaks I will just buy another one.Very cheap and therefore it is worth the money, maybe yours won't break, my second one hasn't.
