Just spotted at JBHIFI Garden City Brisbane. Original price is $30. Appears to be in-store only.

Why would I get this over a Blitzwolf?
Because you get to support an Australian bricks and mortar retailer who is struggling because Australians are not buying their $30 USB cable that their buyers thought would be an instant hit and which cost them only 47c including packaging.
Spare a thought for the Gerry Harvey's of the world who are doing it tough. Forget all the staff who are now casual and have to fight for hours so they can afford to rent a room at home but think of the real battlers who have to cut back on yearly Rolls Royce purchases and have to drive around in an 18 month old model.
Anyway why would you want a cable that performs well when you can get one that looks good instead! Now when you whip it out at work and drop it on your desk people will look with admiration at a real cable hipster.
What's the best place to hit up for good quality (and hopefully good value) micro USB cables then ?
Have tried Cablelist cables from MSY and less than impressed with how long they last before they fall out of your phone.

Blitzwolf or similar. The cables are heavier duty and will charge quicker but they will still fail. Just buy cheap good quality cables and toss them as they wear out.

The heavier the wire in the cable will see this happen sooner. A light duty wire puts less stress on the connectors.
Because BW is $6 down to $4 while this is $30 down to $5. The savings are far greater by buying this!!
But seriously though, the folks at fleamarket need their heads knocked together for thinking people would actually buy $30 USB cables? Do they think the monster??
Still it's cheaper than the Cynosure USB cable from a few years ago, that was specifically made for people who had more money than brains.
