At one point, yes... but no more.

$60 for 50 cents worth of plastic and $1 worth of wire/metal.
Wow. Thanks HTC.

It has the bluetooths and can connect to your entertainment center...

The worst part is the crossed-out $99.99 next to the price, as if it was ever sold for that much.
There are laws against that kind of thing in some countries - that is, saying something is on sale when it isn't.

ok, a $3 bluetooth chip...The desktop dock should be $20, MAYBE $30. $60 is outrageous.

Overpriced Acc.
Like the Nexus One Car Dock. What kind of profit margin? I guess if there is a market. Remember the "Pet Rock"!

It should be whatever they can get. if it doesn't sell, they're charging too much and the price will drop. And materials aren't the only costs that go into developing the product

Desk Docks, good to go
I can part with my dock.
mint, used two times... or less. (i love my casemate)
still have the box and everything.
yours for $50 --i had to pay CA tax or, exchange for a car dock in good condition.
cheers

Buy it, if you dont like it send it back. Or sell it on eBay: here in Germany they sell for more than the HTC Shop pricing (57€ on htc shipping incl., ebay 60-70€)

You should start mass producing these puppies then, it's so cheap to do, right?

I doubt it even has a bluetooth chip in it since the phone already has one built in.

Aren't they for sale on the htc site? I remember seeing them a few weeks ago.they were back ordered till november

It has a Bluetooth chip.

I ordered mine on expansys, it only takes 3 business days to have it.

I got a dock on eBay second hand for 30gbp bit expensive but sooooo worth it there is no alternative to an OEM dock such a snug fit. As for the Bluetooth that's got to be a lie! No where in the unit is there a Bluetooth icon. Very strange

The phone connects by bluetooth to the dock for audio, which is why there's a 3.5mm jack on the back of the phone without a connection to the nexus's audio port.

htc store?

Got micro HDMI ???

I finally found a HDMI cable locally.
That way if it did not work, I could return it.
I got it at WAL-MART. I looked at my local WAL-MART they do not carry this item. I found it at a WAL-MART when I was out of town this weekend, When I was walking around the electronics area.
I saw all the people with mix results so I held off for a quality cable from a company I can trust and been making cables for a long time.
I got the:
BELKIN - HIGH SPEED HDMI CABLE WITH HDMI MICRO CONNECTOR.
6FT. OR 1.8M
$30.00
I just tested it out for 5 minutes last night. It worked great. I set the HDMI setting to automatic. As soon as I plug cable in it worked.
I was saying, Awesome!!!
Hopefully this helps people who need the cable and are scared of what cheap cables can do to expensive electronics.
Running stock Gingerbread Rom.

That's what I'm sayin'! They all work the same. I'm not gonna spend 10x the price on something that won't work any better. To me, 1080p, is 1080p.

i can guarantee the $3 ones wont last..probably from ebay..lol but thats where i got mine from, cost me bout 10 bucks about two months ago and still works, i use it all the time especially weekends, make sure to check buyers feedback and also u can notice a crappy cable by looking at it...just be carefull when pickin but it's best to get one from a local store or t-mobile website

I had some money coming my way that I was not counting on so I say what the heck!!!
I saw all the complaints if all those cheap cables. I did not want to be one of those people.
I was just posting a options some people don't mind spending more on a quality product.

I've used my $3 cable almost everyday since receiving it 2 weeks ago and I've had no problems at all.
The cable actually looks like good quality....I got it from Hand Held Items. I'm usually the first to say when something looks cheap, but this $3 cable looks the exact opposite. I'm still shocked that stores can make money selling a HDMI phone cable for $30. What a ripoff....smdh
But I'm not knocking anybody who purchased that $30 cable, by all means if you got the money and want to do it .... perfect!

I'm kind of afraid to get one. Many reports of it shorting out batteries and ruining phones. Or were these stories just 'urban legends?'

I understand...Im not trying to sell anyone anything, I just wanted anyone that may be in the market for a cheap HDMI cable to know where I got mine from. I'll admit, some of the reviews aren't so great, but there are more 5 ratings than 1 ratings. I guess I have one of the 'Good' cables.
Nonetheless, good luck with any decision you guys make.

I got HDMI cable off ebay for me and my dad for $1 each lol, still working strong, but I cant say these $3 ones for our phones will be the same, I will be picking one up for mine soon.

I return mine. I am trying cheaper cables now that I know my phones HDMI port works. The Belkin one was a perfect fit.

Since I can't post links: Visit NewEgg then search the item: RCE-6-MHEF
6+ft mini-hdmi to hdmi male for less than $7.
Food for thought... seems none of you have heard of the future of internet shipping -- NewEgg... quality cable if you ask me, have 3+ of the normal hdmi and they sell adapters if you already have a hdmi cord, because how many times do you hook up your phone to a tv anyways?

Good link. I have to check that out.

Thanks - those are $12 each. Looking for something a bit more reasonable though.

The second one is $8.25 with free shipping.
Pretty good price I think
Edit: actually if you dig deeper there is one for $4.99 with free shipping

you might want to research well before you go out and buy a generic 2A micro usb charger, as far as I know, to toggle 2A charging on the S4, D+ and D- pins should be connected with a certain value of resistance. You can look it up, there was a thread for that.

if everything's built the same as the old black powergen i got, it'll output just as well as the samsung charger - ~1500mA without the need of a charging adapter.

I have made one order from here
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...all-Charger-For-Samsung-Galaxy/759338600.html
As soon i receive i will make a review

Well I got a spare genuine charger plug I'll sell for $10 shipped. I got a second hand s4 from someone who kept the USB, ended up buying the set so this guy is just a spare.
Pm me if interested

Currently using a note 2 2amp charger from ebay was around $9 shipped. Charges just as fast as the orignal one.

As cheap as possible! I'm a penny pincher

Ever Since Benson Leung verified those USB-C cables, the prices went up..

Does any one have a coupon code or something to make the price go down..??

lol... yeah i had the i-orange cables in my cart and when i went to checkout... i got denied cuz the prices went up from 15 something to 18 ... now they are 20... WTF ... price gouging! lol
i'm just gonna wait for more "trusted" cables to come out..

Might as well get the official cable for $12.99 through Google.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Yep... I bought it at $16.99 on Thursday (11/5) and it never shipped out to me. Today I got an email saying they are on "backorder". Over the weekend they were "Out of stock" until December. Now today all the cables are magically in stock at both 6m and newer 1ft varieties all in different colors and more expensive than my purchase price. I'l probably cancel the order out of frustration.

All the people that are saying that you might as well get the Google cable, don't forget that the 12.99 is for a 3 ft cable while the orange cable is 6 ft.

i noticed that too. i got the 2m white iorange cable the day that all this began and it was like $12

Ordered yesterday, it's already out for delivery today.

I'm glad prices have gone up. That's a signal to the market that there is more demand than there is supply which will cause companies to produce more Type C cables.
Also, the fact that the popular/high priced cables are the ones that are "in spec" will cause companies to not only produce in spec cables, but advertise that they are in spec which will make it easier to find good cables in the future.
You just have to be patient...

This is the beauty of American consumerism.....

Why don't you just buy the cable from the oneplus one website. It looks good. Cheap and long. It was $12 after shipping and everything. 5ft also

USB C to USB A Cable deal that I found

http://slickdeals.net/f/8235480-usb...te-50-off-starting-at-4-50-shipped?v=1&page=4
Found some deals on the cables -- the three foot ones are still available. Not sure if there's interest on this site, but $4.50 is a pretty good price.
I hope you like them!

thanks for sharing. Picked up a 3 foot black one

are these good?

Thank you!!

seems that they work well for the 5x and 6p- they work slowly on the macbook and the pixel, though. based on reviews.

I just ordered a cable direct from Google. I ordered 11/11 and just got notice from FedEx that they were delivered today. I just did the free shipping option.
I could have bought cheap ones but why bother testing out cheap cables when the Google ones are $12.99 and I don't have any questions or concerns with them.

Not a bad idea. I just got one of these because of how cheap they are. I can't imagine what could go so horribly wrong with a cable.

Dun.. Dun... Dunnnn!!!

The cable itself probably won't be damaged but whatever end you're attaching to with the USB a side, it might damage because it may pull more power than it can handle. Only the USB C side connections are certified to handle up to the 3A charge.

I wouldn't touch this with with a 10-foot pole unless verified by Benson,
or verified by someone else (using Benson's method) with photos to prove.
I wouldn't want the charger burning down my house while I'm fast asleep or out and about.
