So after using the cable for several months to my satisfaction i notice that getting a good connection between the two magnetic parts needs more and more time and trial and error. This is unfortunate since the cable has worked brilliantly so far ...
I have received the MagCable, really disappointed on this Kickstarter. It's a cheap plastic when I plug it to my iPhone 6 plus, then my iPhone turning hot and very slow charging. I throw it away now. DISAPPOINTED!!!!!
OK, so I can still hope to get my cables? Got a tracking number on 04.11.2016, and until today, nothing arrived. I checked the tracking page of China Post, and the last trace of the cable is on 12.11.2016 saying "leaving Beijing Airport going to next airport/seaport".
Well it's a shame how Kickstarter takes money from successful campaigns, and gives a shit about what happens after the funding, by just claiming that they are not responsible. Thats easy.
Hi
The End today delivered my cable. It works very well. It is made good. Only the shipping was very poorly addressed. Evil was given recipient and address, but somehow it occurred at a place.
This is crap! The lightning adapters sent may as well be a brick even if they attached to the plugs which are not micro-USB. Total waste of money in my opinion. With my experience so far, I am not even going to try for a refund. I don't need the added stress.
I received the cables today and because of the negative comments I expexted the worst, but so far everything works great. Minus the delay and zero communication I would be happy customer!
@Juan Jose Zafra Sanchez - The button on the cable functions only when you charge via a USB port on a laptop, etc. By pressing the button, you can switch to 'fast charging mode (LED blinks fast)'. It charges faster by turning off data transfer. If you charge using an AC adapter, it always charges at the max rate.
The ítems have arrived. But the instructions?
There isn't any documentation explaining how to use the inline switch. How does the user know what mode the switch is in? It seems to charge the iPhone and iPad regardless of how many times I press the button.
I have given up on this and the package suddenly just showed up last weekend. I had zero expectation with the product with all the negative comments here but then the cable works perfectly as it should. It charges and transfer data perfectly, quality is good, so far so good for me. After waiting more than 1 year... this is a bonus!
To the backer who couldnt get the tip out, I just plugged in the cable and hold the tip with the cable, pull straight out like how you do it with a normal cable. It works nicely for me like this.
@Andreas S - I used my nails. Yeah it's hard so you need to be patient. After inserting and removing a tip a few times, it loosens up and gets much easier.
Dear backers - as long as we get no answer about how to get any tip OUT again, you should not insert it!! I wanted to get it out, and nearly damaged my phones connector. Beware!!
Hello,
I finally received my lightning compatible assemblies and I must say that I am quite disappointed. (1) If I pull the MagCable directly out of the iPhone the adapter comes out also. I have to remember to twist the connecter to break it away from the adapter. I thought I read that the lightning to MagCable adapter would remain in the phone -- where it belongs. Since it pulls out with the MagCable this is a recipe for losing the adapter. Even with a brand new lightning to 30-pin adapter the lightning adapter pulls out of the 30-pin adapter. (2) There is no documentation explaining how to use the inline switch. How does the user know what mode the switch is in? It seems to charge the iPhone and iPad regardless of how many times I press the button. (3) There was no documentation in the package - just the cables and lightning adapters.
VERY DISAPPOINTED to wait this long since April 2016

Received my cables today in Germany.
Seems ok, but over a year for cabels and tips. ? Nothing more to say Only that I don't support KS anymore.
Still haven't received my items but reading the comments I'm not sure i want them but would love to have my money back but that's probably not going to happen either
Received the cable today, to be honest, it's not bad but it isn't fantastic either. I recommend you guys to have a look at the Wsken cable, the braided one. It's way better in any aspect.
Pros:
- The idea is good
- The product works (most of the time) and is capable of fast charging
- The magnet is powerful enough
- The length is good.
Cons:
- I expect better quality for the product, small deficiencies.
- The magnet doesn't always provide the right contact so you have to play with it.
- Different cable for lightning and usb (I had the idea that the wire was the same and only the tip was different and you could use either wire with both tips, maybe my mistake)
- Really long time to ship and deliver (it is Kickstarter, we all knew the risks).
To the developers: Keep working guys, you had a good idea, don't give up!!!!
Guys, do not expect Kickstarter to help. I already wrote several messages to Kickstarter, but they don't really care, they probably got their money and that's it.... it's a shame.
I still did not receive anything, I asked for refund twice, but as expected there is no answer from these guys who apparently just wanted our money but do not have a product ready since more than one year. It looks like fraud to mee..!
Still didn't receive anything. Got a mail stating that it was shipped, almost a month ago. Still no product. It's a crying shame a company / campaign like this exists.
Use this space to cheer the creator along, ask questions, and talk to your fellow backers. Please remember to be respectful and considerate. Thanks!

Also with kickstarter don't expect any help.
