I’ve switched to magnetic cables, came with little plugs for my iPhone, Motorola and Nexus 5. Connectors on devices are kept clean and free from wear, cable end has small LED in it turns red when charging, blue when not… really are the best.
Only down side is rubber flap on my iPad Otter Box puts enough pressure to sometimes break the magnetic lock.
Bonus is I need fewer USB chargers … one cable at my desk can handle every device I own. Love it.
note - can they move data like a USB cable? I’m unsure, never tested that.
