(3pc Cables) - Apple Sync USB Cable Charger Lightning to USB for iPhone 5, iPod & iPad 4, "The New iPad Air" and iPad Mini with Retina Display - EXTRA SMALL (5-Inch Only) - WHITE
I got the cables to connect my phone to a portable battery  when I am out and about but started using it with the regular chargers as well. Using the cables that way, they got twisted and turned a couple times. It did not take long for two of three cables to fail. One is still working and I am very careful not to turn or twist it. I will stick to longer cables in the future that do not break so easily.
