We rely on our Lightning cables to keep our devices charged and synced, but we can’t count on them to last very long. So how do you get a Lightning cable that won’t fray? One way is to reinforce it with steel chainmail armor.

That’s exactly what the Shield Charging Cable does. Sheathed in stainless steel chainmail, it is seriously tough while still being seriously flexible. Yet it’s also super lightweight, so you won’t feel like you’re carrying Sir Arthur’s battle wardrobe in your backpack. Plus it’s MFi-certified, meaning you can count on it to carry a charge and transfer data, and it’s backed by a Manufacturer Limited Lifetime Warranty. No wonder this tough little cable won Best of CES 2018 in the iPhone Life category.

Buy now: Pick up a Shield Charging Cable for $24.99. That’s 28 percent off the usual price.
