Is there any apple verified and durable lightning cables out there that is 100% compatible with iPhone 5s? I carry my cable with me everyday and so it is subjected to quite a lot of abuse causing the wire to slowly break over time

I second Belkin. Well build.

Only thing is the lightning connector is slightly bulkier than Apple original, so if your casing fits the lightning connector snugly, it may be a problem to connect the Belkin lightning cable.

moshi one is pretty good. cost a little more than the apple one. the plug is a little fatter which helps when u pull it out from the phone. been using mine for half a year already.

I buy from DX or Qoo10 or taobao, just buy 20-40 at one go. I only carry 1 around, 1 in office, 1 in car, 1 at home, then the rest keep for spare.

Every few months when one dies, just replace.

Scosche StrikeLINE pro is the best 3rd party lightning cable, with retractable mechanism for easy storage and protection of your cable. Very good build quality and available in either black or white. Only drawback is that it's a bit pricey, but if you want the best, u need to pay a bit more. Can get it from online Apple store.
