I ordered both the universal case friendly universal phone guides and case friendly charging dock from Skyline Products (Hello Skyline Products). I liked the idea that it might allow the phone to be docked if I used a thicker case. I was actually very impressed with the apparent quality of the charging cable over the OEM one. The cable diameter appeared much thicker, as well as it had a more low profile 90 degree turn on the USB-A end versus the straight OEM one.
Unfortunately within a couple of minutes of docking my phone I smelled an electrical burning smell, not unlike the smell from a toy slot racing car. I immediately pulled the cable out and noted a wisp of grey smoke coming from the USB-A end of the cable. I have not asked Skyline Product for a replacement, at this point I would not feel comfortable leaving any cable they sent me plugged in. Could be a one off defect, but wanted to share my experience just in case.
