It's the real deal, PhiPi! The only negative thing to report is that it's not a sync/data cable as advertised. At least it doesn't allow the PC to recognize my LG Android phone. I can live with that to be the first on my block.
Edit: Windows 10 downloaded a new driver today and it's working as a sync cable now with my same phone. Another Festivus miracle!
The cable at that last link is REALLY nice. Feels like money, high quality, nice grippy rubber feel, has integral iphone adapter which can be cut off easily. The LED display is crisp. It goes out after a minute or two of zero current.
Sadly, the erco effect remains after I purchased. Price increased from $2.68 to $3.35. I still got it!

Warning: This is not an "Over Unity" device since the cord appears too short to plug the USB input connector into its own output jack.
