Great at first, but doesn't last long.
Bought this (2 metre, reversible) to use with Samsung Fast Charger for S6 Edge.Purchased in February 2016, worked well for a few months. Then it became hit and miss if the fast charging would work the way it was plugged in. If I flipped it, it would then usually work with fast charging.Another month later, and it's working with fast charging maybe 1 in 50 times it's plugged in.If I replace this cable with an older, non-reversible USB cable, fast charging works again every time.I can only assume that that connectors on this cable get worn down or depressed too easily. As well as this, the plastic on the end of the cable has loosened and fallen off (see picture)The other disappointing point to note was that the "regular" USB end of this cable is not reversible, which defeats the purpose a little.If I was offered a replacement free of charge to test I would accept it, but can't recommend this to people unless they really don't care about being able to use it as a fully functioning product for more than a few months.

Quality reversible cable, but....
It's a good, quality cable that fits well. However, the premium price also come with a much reduced charging speed compared to my Aukey micro USB cables. At 50% battery charge remaining on a Xperia Z3, this cable charge at roughly 790mA compared to 1360mA from my Aukey cables. If quality and the 'convenience' of attaching your cable in the dark at first attempt is your thing and you don't mind waiting an extra 30 - 45 minutes to charge your device, you won't be disappointed.

Cable went up in smoke
I have owned the MicFlip Reversible Micro USB cable (200cm) for just over 7 months. Cable build appears good to start with. It has a good covering on the cable and the reversible micro USB end worked as advertised.However after 7 months of using to charge my phone / tablet I noticed that the charge speed was not as fast. I plugged my phone in to charge as normal last night and smoke started pouring out of the port. I quickly disconnected the cable. It has black burn marks on it smells of electrical burning. Luckily the port on my phone appears OK as it is charging from another cable but guess I was lucky enough to be there when it went up in smoke. I would highly recommend you do not use this cable for charging, if you have bought the cable and notice it is taking longer and longer to charge I would also recommend you stop using it straight away.

Quickly worn braiding, doesn't work for HTC One M9
4 months of non-heavy use has resulted in the braiding at one end to be completely worn and looks as if the bare wires are now exposed. It worked as intended for a Nexus tablet but wouldn't connect properly into my HTC One M9 from day 1 which is what I originally bout it for...I may have just been unlucky with this particular one but after my experiences, I feel that even 2 stars is generous.

Handy Cable
Wish I'd discovered reversible leads sooner after messing with Micro USB plugs in the dark for years. There are a few sockets which still refuse to accept this plug one way round but on the whole it's saved me time. I'm planning to buy some more.

Great Idea Poor Quality
This is a good concept and it works. The build quality is very good with the braided cable and the reversible cable works. However unlike other cables, this cable falls out of your phone socket if you so much to even tap it. The cable arrived this morning and after a few hours the pins on the front side snapped off so I now can no longer plug it in that way. It looks very nice and clean but there could be improvements in the quality of the cable end.

Works for a while
Found product worked for a short time. Many items don't seem to be bought for longevity anymore rather you just throw away when it stops working. Product great at the start but hasn't stood the test of time.

Great cable for great price. Recommend it
Bought this to replace my broken original htc charger cable after over 2 years of service. Works flawlessly although it's quite a tight fit for htc one m8. Cable is braided so forget about it breaking and it's tangle free. Would recommend it.
