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?

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.

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.

I got this as a gift a while back and it works great. Hoping this issue doesn’t affect mine 🤞
