Oh geez, glowing cables.
I go with cables2go, generally good prices on decent stuff. On Amazon, I go with Amazon Basics. at least those are "certified" for compatibility and prices are OK. Honest, a $1 usb cable or wall wart can end up costing you a lot more than a $3 cable/wall wart if/when something goes south.
Actually, these are excellent cables, and provides visual confirmation that power is flowing, it's got circuitry that shows the rhythm slowing down when the device is in "topping off" mode, and then shows that there's no more power flowing (fully charged).
They are extremely useful for this function, probably some of the best cables I've ever had.
