The cable does a good job of charging your new USB C devices with a legacy charger. You will not get the rapid charging that get with a USB C charger and cable combination, however most of us have more standard/QC chargers lying around then USB C anyways, so that works out perfectly. It's the perfect length to use on the couch or at the desk.
I received this product for free from Nillkin-E in return for an honest, unbiased review. However, I previously purchased this similar cable from Nillkin-E (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010VFFU1W), used it to charge my phone almost every night since 11/18/2015, and have experienced no problems whatsoever.

I wanted to focus on few highlights that I liked about this cable and specifically wanted to call out that's it's safe to use. Let me say that again, it's safe to use on a regular charger. It has the correct resistor built in so that your USB C devices don't try pulling more power than the charger is capable of providing and frying your equipment. I've attached a few photos to show that it doesn't pull too much and that it properly shows charging vs rapid charging.
The other thing I really love is the connection on the USB C side - it has what they call a stair step on it. This helps fit into more cases, those that tend to be tight to begin with as the mould isn't just one length, it's got a little ledge on it to support the metal connector but it's not as wide as the rest, so it's still supporting it.
And of course it's nylon, so it's a strong tough cable that can take the rough daily use that we put our cables through, but yet it's still flexible.
The cable I’m reviewing today appears to have the same excellent build quality. Its USB Type-C connector isn’t oversized, so when I connect it through the cutout in my RhinoShield CrashGuard, it only barely pushes the top edge of the bumper upward, less than the USB Type-C to USB Type-C cable that came with my 6P. The braided covering on the cable really makes it feel durable. I have a cat that likes to chew on USB cables that I leave sitting out, so I truly appreciate the stronger covering.
Other than that, there’s not much more to say. It charges my phone, though obviously not as fast as the USB-Type C to USB Type C cable paired with the charger included with my 6P. But that’s not why I got into Nillkin-E USB Type C cables. I use these cables where extra length and durability are more important than fast charging time. This cable also transfers files from my computers to my 6P with no issues. So it’s a cable that works as expected, and it gives me peace of mind knowing Nillkin-E products have earned Benson Leung’s seal of approval for quality cables built to spec.
Finally, both of my Nillkin-E cables came with little warranty booklets. They’re covered by a 12-month warranty once they’re registered online. I’ve never pursued warranty replacement on a USB cable before, but it only contributes to the peace of mind I already get from using Nillkin-E cables.
