Monoprice Select Series Apple MFi Certified Lightning to USB Charge & Sync Cable, 6-inch Purple
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, we would not have a list of compatible cases. The 3ft select series lightning cables connector head housings will be 7.7mm wide and 5.8mm in depth. I would recommend measuring the opening on the lifeproof case to see if it would fit. I hope this helps.

Do any of these cables support high speed charging (i.e. 2.4 amp)?
A shopper
on Jan 7, 2018
BEST ANSWER: I believe they do. I believe that's the same amp charge for iPads. I've never had a problem charging any of my larger Apple devices using these cables.

May not work with phone cases
The plastic surrounding the phone end is wider/thicker than the standard iPhone cable. This resulted in it being a struggle to plug in through my phone case (never a problem with the Apple charger cord provided with my phone.) The first night I used this, it was not adequately plugged in, thus my phone did not charge, died and my alarm didn’t go off, making my daughter late for school.

Beware of Plastic Bezel on lightning end!
Purchased these cables for years due to lifetime warranty, but colors phasing out, and the last RMA came with a much thicker plastic bezel at the lightning tip end making it practically impossible to use with an Otterbox Defender case without modification. Also, cables lasting 6-11 months before electrical failure. Can get Monoprice to do RMA but can be painfully slow process.

will fail from everyday use.
These will fail from everyday use around the 1 year mark. 5 cables trash, lifetime means one RMA, then go away apparently.

Great cable
It’s a very a well built, sturdy cable. I’m currently using mine to connect my iPhone to my Mac mini for use as web cam during zoom meetings. The black color hides it a little better behind my gear. It works great. Highly recommended.
