As per various other reviews, the original cables that I received weren't fully compliant with the full USB C spec and therefore didn't charge my Nexus 6P at full speed.

However, having contacted Orzly, I was sent a new pair of fully compliant cables free of charge and given a full apology. Needless to say I am very happy with the service I have received and the new cables are great.

These cables are fully functional, and the colours look rather nice. The build quality is reasonable, but not great, with the metal casing on some of them a little misshapen, but not enough to impact performance. The cables are flat and rubbery which is strange, but I think I sort of like it.

Essential purchase for moving to USB-C

Great flexible cables. Plugs are slim, so will fit through most phone cases etc. Didn't realise they wouldn't do fast charging, but that's not a major problem. Would be good if there was an extra long cable in the pack.

5x and 6p owners avoid.

If you are a Nexus 6p or 5x owner then I would avoid. 2 of the 4 cables no longer work along with two of my usb charging blocks that they have broken. I won't go into the detail as to the technical deficiencies of these cables and the fact they are not up to spec as there is plenty of press coverage on this issue.

Avoid these cables when being used with Nexus 5x or 6p. They will however be safe to use with a OP2.

A note to all those defending these cables: The main problem with the cables not conforming to the USB type C spec is that at some point in the future when you have a new phone that does try to pull 3+ Amps through these cables you may have forgotten that these cables are not designed for this. They will still fit in your phone and still fit in the charging blocks you got several years ago. Only this time the device will pull too much current and either destroy your charger or melt your cable. That is why standards exist.

On a positive note Amazon gave me all my money back when Orzly ignored my concerns relating to the cables. I suggest anyone else concerned raises a claim with Amazon (who were excellent as usual).

Awesome cables, Oneplus 2 owner here!

Had problems with the delivery, not a seller issue but a 3rd party delay.

Seller was prompt to answer my queries and delivered on all their promises, excellent shop.

The cables, as yet I have not had a chance to use them properly, but so far I am very happy with them, love the colours and the texture, really soft and thin/skinny.

10/10 would buy and recommend.

Cable doesn't conform to USB standards.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2015

Cable seems to do the job, however has some issues.

I have followed the testing procedure laid out by the Google engineering team and I have determined that this adapter is not correctly following the USB Type C specification. As a reminder, you can find the USB specification at usb.org under developers/usbtypec

See: https://plus.google.com/+BensonLeung/posts/jGP5249NppF

These cables leave the C-C lines floating, where the specification requires a Rp pullup to Vbus to identify the cable as a legacy adapter or cable.

Please see the document named "USB Type-C Specification Release 1.1.pdf"
section 4.5.3.2.4 for a description of why the Rp pullup is necessary.

Please also see Section 4.11 and the following note :
1. For Rp when implemented in the USB Type-C plug on a USB Type-C to USB 3.1 Standard-A Cable
Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Standard-A Cable Assembly, a USB Type-C to USB 2.0 Micro-B
Receptacle Adapter Assembly or a USB Type-C captive cable connected to a USB host, a value of 56 kΩ
± 5% shall be used, in order to provide tolerance to IR drop on V BUS and GND in the cable assembly.

In other words, since you are creating a USB Type-C plug to a USB A cable, you must use a resistor of value 56kΩ as a pullup to Vbus. This cable does not do this.

It will charge devices fine but MAY in some circumstances cause damage to the connected device.

Trouble charging reliably from USB ports on computers

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 August 2016

Verified Purchase

I've had trouble with these cables with my Nexus 5X. Here is the description of the issues which may be due to a combination of my phone, computer and/or version of the Orzly cables I received. Your mileage may vary.

From an AC port this cable generally seems to charge the phone correctly. It shows up as "charging from AC". The problems start to arise when I try to charge it from various USB ports on computers. For example on my Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro, both of the USB ports cause the phone to momentarily say "Charging from USB" then go back to "Not charging" (although just to confuse things the Android icon still shows a lightening bolt indicating charging, when it is not). Windows seems to recognise my phone is plugged in for 2 seconds then it disappears again. This coincides with it stopping charging. My friend also has had this cable get extremely (dangerously?) hot when using from a USB 3.0 port on his computer. In summary I can't get these cables to work reliable when charging from USB ports of computers.

N.B. I notice these cables now have a new visual design than when I bought them - maybe they work better now, but my review is based off the older, different looking model of this cable.

The Cables work and mean I can charge my N5X using my existing sockets/computer. So it's a win all round
