anyone able to use an iDevice usb cord after a year?

[wolfcry911]

I take very good care of my Apple products and I'm a bit upset over the quality of the usb charging cables for both iPad and iPhone. I have one of each and therefor two cables and after one year's use they're both dead.

I should have had Apple replace the first one within the first year, but now I believe I'm out of warranty for both

Can anyone recommend a decent quality third party (lightning) cable that doesn't cost more than a battleship? Would love a 6' but 3' works...
