Apologies if the wrong community, if there’s a better suited one, please point me to it!
But, I figure we all buy USB-C cables, and being a progressive group of folks maybe someone has a suggestion so I cause slightly less waste pollution and waste? Here’s hoping!
Edit: Allrighty, apparently I’m just rough on all my usb cables OR you have all teamed up to prank me.
I buy Anker cables and they hold up really well to my kid’s cable abuse. They have a braided sheath around them.
Plenty of companies make solid cables now and Anker’s Eufy camera controversy made me look to other options for cables and battery banks. Truly scummy while sacrificing their own users’ privacy (and lying about it).

I also love my Anker cables. I have cables from them that are like 10 years old and I would still be using them if they were USBC
I bought my kid the magnetic kind where the but stays in your phone and the cable magnetically connects to it and it also rotates and whatnot. Doesn’t charge fast but it’s hella capable of her shit. Last phone port failed because she ripped the cord out all the time but now the important but just stays in the phone.
Ooooooh, this seems like a game changer. Apparently I am a middle aged child when it comes to cord removal.
If you don’t care about fast charge or data transfer they really are. Here’s a link to the ones I bought

Highly recommend if you wear out cables. I’m guilty as well but I use Android Auto for work everyday so these do me no good but help my daughter immensely.
They can’t transfer data? That’s AUFU. But seriously, I use Android Auto every day as well, but the new work vehicle works with it wirelessly. Usually…
I think I’ll try some of these braided cables with the magnetic bit someone was talking about. Thanks!
