Takes abuse and keeps going but know what you're getting...
So far, it's great. I bought it to be used for anyone at work who wants to. Mostly everyone has iphone and uses lightning cable, but it's nice to have the other options. It seems to charge fast and is sturdy as it gets moved around a lot. I have an Otterbox Commuter case on my iphone 5 and it has no trouble plugging into the lightning plug. Only on one occasion has someone had two things plugged in at the same time but they both seemed to charge well. What I like about this cable is it's length (for my purposes although if it's close to the plug it wouldn't need to be that long) and the fact that the individual cords to each device are longer. Some competing models are closer. If you're using it to keep plugged in all times and you don't think you'd plug multiple devices in at the same time then it wouldn't matter the length of the individual cords, but because it was many people at work I wanted this function. I like it so much I'm thinking of buying another for home or as a backup. The price is decent even if it isn't the cheapest but I wanted certain features so this is what I got. I've been happy and have been using it for almost a month available for all at work for 12 hours a day.UPDATED 1-16-16 Changed from 5 to 4 starsHaving watched people at work use this charging cable I've noticed it's not as fast as I initially thought. It's not as fast as probably an apple certified cable. I bought a 2nd one for home to use because I wanted to have a cable by my bed that could charge both my iphone (lightning cable) and my Kindle Paperwhite (mini USB). This is when I learned that you can't charge two things at once. WHAT?! When I have both plugged in at the same time the iphone says it's not compatible with this accessory and it's doesn't charge. The paperwhite does but not the iphone. I still like the fact that I only have one cable by my bedside and I don't need things to charge fast there but it's a bit of a bummer. So I'm guessing at work if someone wants to charge their ipad and someone else an iphone or an iphone and an android and it's too bad--one person will lose out. Who knows which one? The one that plugged in last. I don't know. You should also not this cable doesn't sync, it only charges. With all these drawbacks just remember that it's an $8 cable and a VERY good deal on price. It just depends on what you need it for. It also have survived a lot of use at work--people dropping it, plugging in and out constantly, etc. I would still buy another one--oh yeah, I already did :)UPDATE: August 2016I've now changed this to 1 star. The lighting portion of the plug seems to have a short in it. It starts to charge and then stop. Fiddling with the cable makes it come on again but you have to hold it steady and push it in slightly. It's useless to me now. This was not the one I bought for work. This was used by my bedside in a cable holder. Only used by one phone not even once a day and the cable never moved. I'm throwing it away. Useless.

Nice cable but does NOT work with iPad 3
The product seems nicely made and is a very good idea. However, it is advertised as being able to charge an iPad 3. It does not. It is the wrong type of plug for anything earlier than an iPad Air. Therefore, it does not fit my iPod either. The only thing I was able to charge was my Samsung Galaxy S4. It worked well for that, but the charging was much slower than with the phone's dedicated cable. Real shame, since I took it on vacation and couldn't charge most of my devices.

Buyer beware
Bought this 8 months ago, have used it for 6 months and the lightning end has stopped working. This item is no longer available and the link for the warranty information doesn't work. There doesn't appear to be a company web page either. Looking at the reviews for one of their other products, it seems like all the positive reviews they received were from people who got one free or at a discount to buy it and review it.

Great concept, love having all the different cord styles ...
Great concept, love having all the different cord styles all in 1 convenient cord. Took this traveling and it was so easy to charge our devices. My only grip is when 2 devices were plugged the charge was slow for one or not charging at all until the other device was fully charged. Wish you could charge multiple devices quickly at once but besides that I love it.

Very Good , No Tangle ,Nice Color !
I like the color and the option for various types of mobiles for charging. The wires do not tangle with each other which is a great feature, Only improvement they can do is to extend the length of the wires since I have bend ahead to charge my phone if I sitting in the back seat of a sedan car.

Excellent quality & value
I was going nuts trying to untangle & organize the charging cables to various devices. This cable solves that problem nicely. The cable is a good length (3 ft.), and the split in the cable enables charging multiple devices simultaneously. The lightning cable is the newer "reversible" type that Apple offers--it doesn't matter which side is "up" or "down" in your device's charging port. I have a somewhat older iPad (equipped with the non-reversible lightning cable), and this cable works fine although it's a tight fit. The cable itself is flat, which is a major plus because it reduces tangling. Very pleased with the quality and performance.

Decent cord
Nice charger for multiple types of devices. Have not tried to charge more than one at a time, but it works well. A little bit tough to get it to plug in to my iPhone 4S, but every other device seems to work fine.

Revised review!!!
Was surprised and disappointed that despite the photos and description, my ipad could not connect to the older iphone/ipad cable. Kind of negates the entire purchase, because I'm just using it as charger for my iphone 5s. Update: The company contacted me and provided a replacement cable that works great!!! Update: Replacement cable stopped working reliably. Avoid.
