[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1595099, member: 56379"] Because they are not made well. These cords see a lot of bending & twisting in their short lifetimes…and poor build quality & design doesn't help. Plus these things are so thin, light, and spindly…that even if they are built well they still probably wouldn't last long. They could be built more robustly…but then they would be thick, "heavy", unattractive, and not foldable (stiff) or coil-able…and then folks wouldn't buy them. Sure…you would probably say you would buy one. Unfortunately…tens of thousands need to be sold. And many "fashion-conscious" folks wouldn't buy a big bulky thick charging cord. So cord manufacturers won't make them. - Nick [/QUOTE]
