    Somehow I doubt it's going to be genuine but I'm taking the gamble on one.

      Yeah i was thinking the same. But i checked the seller feadback seems like mostly shipping issue and seller most likely will refund you in case a negative feedback(Chinese seller style:).

      The $1 item is a screen protector. Been seeing a lot of these ebay sales recently. They put something cheap in the list, so when you search for it, it lists it on the cheapest item price

      The "genuine" Belkin cable is actually $4.65

    Although some pretty interesting feedback (11 positive but only 1 neg), nobody has really claimed it's genuine though.

    • YellowEarthAustralia on 11/05/2015 - 11:10

      That's probably because:

      1) People don't realise its fake
      2) People realise its fake, sends an email to the seller complaining, seller refunds full amount. Issue resolved.

    I don't know but last deal I bought from someone's post off eBay, https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/174804, works pretty well. Tested all the cable ensuring they can do data transfer before I left feedback. But its dearer though and its from local guy in Brissy.

  • dizzy_7 on 11/05/2015 - 15:32

    I have bought them from Ebay before (different seller) and they come in all the packaging Etc, but sometimes my iphone will say the accessory is not genuine.

    Very rarely but every now and then.

    I have a genuine belkin cable for my iphone and it has never came up.

    Good for charging anyway

      I bought a 2 metre belkin cable from the online apple store for $35 and a 1.2 metre belkin cable from ebay for around $7. They both display the same error message that the cable isn't supported every now and then.

  • andrewchk on 11/05/2015 - 17:04

    Hi All,

    Just be careful for Lingtning cables. Yes the item may be REAL Belkin cable. But not Real Apple Cables.

    If someone happened to have seen these Belkin (or other brand) cable in the local stores, you may see that none of these cables mention about the compatibility to iPhone 6 or 6 plus. Even if you read the description (not the title) of this eBay listing, you will find no mention about iphone 6.

    My own experience, I bought about 10 cables from ebay and local stores, time by time, to be used for my iphone 6+, price from $1 (ebay) to $15 local store. ALL FAILED after certain times of use. (Hint: you can always unplug and plug in again, and it sometimes will work again)

    A friend in the mobile phone repair industry told me that the original APPLE cables has a microchip built in, every single chip are different (got its own id or alike), the copied one use one single chip and duplicate into 10s of thousands, and so these cables all have the same ID, which will then be caught after few uses, the the iPhone 6 will tell you that it is not compatible and may not function as expected.

    In my case, I use the cable to charge my iPhone 6, and if the message appeared, it doesn't charge, but battery dropping significantly, even the charge symbol is on.

    *** My information source could be wrong. Just for your reference. ***

    Cheers,
    A.

      He is right. However MFi cables are apple certified and carry the same chip. Trouble is that they run almost as expensive as the original ones. I have one by monoprice which actually costs more ($18) but is a braided cable and has a nice titanium finish with lifetime warranty unlike the apple ones.

  • thaner on 11/05/2015 - 20:10

    Just a note these have thicker connector bases than the regular cables so you cant fit them phones with covers on them although they fit tablets without an issue.

  • OzBrogains on 12/05/2015 - 13:30

    DSE selling genuine ones for $15.50 a week ago. Beats paying Apple $30 for theirs.

  • skywalka on 13/05/2015 - 11:13

    Amazon make their own certified cables. Bought a bunch of their 2 metre ones. No problems all.

  • marzbar on 22/05/2015 - 20:13

    Got mine today, this is definitely a fake. A first glimpse at the box which says "For iPhone 5, and wait for it… SAMSUNG mini??" already led me to believe this was not a genuine cable.. Obviously Samsung's devices don't use the lightning connector. There's several other mistakes such as spelling, poor signs of manufacturing etc. For those who are interested I've attached some pictures here.

    Although the cable does work on my iPhone 6, I don't think I'm prepared to take the risk and damage a $1000+ phone for a fake cable worth a few dollars. The cable may however be handy for a temporary one of use.

    I'd advise everyone to stay away from this cable and other genuine claiming fakes that are also too cheap to be true. I've sent the photos to the seller and have asked for a refund. Hopefully I'll get my money refunded faster than the time it took to ship this.

      Same here i bought 9 and all of them fake. Im contacting ebay and rising a dispute via paypal to get a full refund.

  • UglyPanda on 09/06/2015 - 17:52

    I got mine on Saturday. Bought two and one stopped working on day 1. Other one is flickering. On and off.

    Raised in PayPal and eBay or the seller is asking me to send it back.

    Has anyone managed to send it back? Should I just forget about it or there is a way of getting refund ?

    • marzbar on 10/06/2015 - 15:15

      See below.. I sent a message to the seller with pics claiming it was fake. Within 24 hours I got my refund and this reply claiming that I don't need to return the item back. Also one thing I did mention in my message was that "I know for sure it is fake and I hope you will resolve this issue without me having to take it to PayPal". Probably that triggered the alarm to refund me immediately :/

      New message from: habi-accessories Top Rated Seller(5,822Green Star)
      i ,dear,
      Thanks for your message.
      We are sorry to you receive the items in the bad condition,this belkin cable is made in china ,maybe it is not same as the cable that in your local coutnry.however I can refund you money and you do not need return item to me.

      • UglyPanda on 10/06/2015 - 16:08

        Sounds good. I opened the case with PayPal directly. So PayPal sent me a msg to send the item back. I'll send a msg to the seller and see.

        Thanks a lot.

    To all those who bought this FAKE cable. Just want to let you know that ebay just refunded my money back. Open a case to return the cable, the seller will issue RMA to you, as the cable is not as described seller must pay for return postage according to ebay policy, contact the seller and ask for a return postage label and he will refuse and say buyer must pay for postage, contact ebay directly and ask them to step in and help; tell them cable is fake and you want to return them back but seller refusing to pay the return postage and according to ebay rules seller must pay for postage if its not as described, ebay will issue refund for you.

    • strat on 17/06/2015 - 01:32

      where do you find these terms : seller refusing to pay the return postage and according to ebay rules seller must pay for postage if its not as described

      • User_153999 on 17/06/2015 - 10:01

        After opening the case the seller refused to pay for return postage label(Because it cost more than the purchase price to ship it back to china). You can look at ebay terms and condition which they force the seller to pay for postage or offer a refund in case item not as described.
