Review: Maybe this cord with the nice long length will last?

I'm not sure how it happens, but I've had limited success with the usual Kindle Fire cords, and the cheaper Wal-Mart cords.  I've bought Kindle rapid chargers, which didn't work well or for long.  I've bought 4 charge cords (for upstairs and down) in the past year, and they have worked for about 6 months and died.  For reasons I don't understand, the mini-delta metal part bends and pulls out, then fails to make the proper charging connection.  This is slightly longer than the standard 3 foot cord.  It seems to work well and charge quickly.  FYI, don't bother to get the $20 rapid charger.  I got special chargers for my Kindle and for a Verizon hotspot I used to own.  Both failed in less than a year.  Cheap (less than $5) charge blocks work just as well or better.  I've had more problems with the cords.  Here's hoping this cord will solve the problem and last more than a few months.
