Belkin has been overpriced and poor quality for a while, Anker seems like they’re getting that way too, anyone have any similar electronics companies that still have some build quality?
Cables are low build quality these days, the last couple of Anker hubs I’ve had failed within a year, I know they make a ton of stuff but that’s what I mostly buy from them.
I’ve heard good things about Native Union cables and chargers, but I haven’t tried them yet personally.
I have a Ventev coiled cable that I keep in my car, and it’s great - solved an issue I had with a previous cable that cracked at the base and had issues with speed/connection. So far so good with Ventev.
Lately, whenever I need an accessory, I always check Nomad Goods first. Their products are incredible. I have a great leather phone case, watch band, and a solid metal desk mount for Apple’s MagSafe puck. I’m about to order their 3-in-1 charger for my wife, and I have high hopes for it. They have a few other products that compare with this Belkin charger, but are probably higher quality, and some cables etc. They’re more of a general accessory store than electronics-focused brand, but I’m hoping their chargers are similar quality to the other Nomad stuff I have so far.

What’s wrong with Anker? I haven’t heard anything bad.
I think this was the big stink about Anker.
Meh. Dodgy camera firmware is a far cry from “overpriced and poor quality”, especially in a post about chargers.
