Listen, I'm a pretty tolerant guy. I give retailers slack, I have worked at many many service jobs in my life, and I understand that things sometimes don't work out the way that was intended. There are few things that I can't forgive, but getting a different product than is literally advertised is just the lowest of the low.

I went through quite an ordeal already before I ordered this one. I had another charger from Anker, but because of my iMagnet dock, I couldn't use it because the curled cord pulled the phone too much. I was frustrated, I tried to make it work, but it didn't.

So, I ate the 5 dollars to ship it back (still haven't gotten to the post office to send it though), and I ordered this because of its cheaper price and better overall rating.

Well, I get it, and I pop open the package, and there is this strange looking cable with an audio jack hanging off it...kind of weird, but who cares if it works right?

I plug it in when I get in the car, and I immediately get the error that this cable will charge my phone slower than the standard charger. -.- Wow. That sucks. So I said ya know, hey maybe it's not so bad. It is. It charges so slow, and will lose power when I navigate and use the phone heavily. What a waste of money.

Aside from the thing not being at all a "rapid charger"...I am really pissed that it ISN'T the product pictured. As many others have pointed out, the pictures look nothing like the cable, it isn't the official cable, and clearly that comes out when trying to use it. I honestly don't care if it's a little different, as long as it works the same.

This doesn't.

Really upset with this company, and I feel its practices jeopardize the trust that Amazon has.
