Got three of these micros usb cables at the "Dollar Tree" for a buck a piece.
They are actually thicker and seem to be better quality than the uber lame cable samsung provides, but perhaps not as sturdy as those blackberry cables everyone loves. They make a good enough connection for ODIN to work, also lets me access the SD Card in windows just fine.
If you happen to have a dollar tree where you live, you no longer have an excuse to not pick up a few extra cables for charging, laptop bag, backpack, etc.
Plus when your samsung cable stops being picked up by ODIN you won't need to come crying to XDA anymore.
They also had mini usb, full size usb printer/scanner cables (A to B I think?) and etc. all for $1. Even picked up a USB car charger for my wife's car. I doubt it will last more than a few months, but compared to wal-mart price I can buy 14 of these chargers vs 1 wal-mart charger.
Pretty awesome, I looked for some last time I was at one (weeks before this post and before I even had this phone) and didn't see any other than ipod crap. I'll keep my eyes out.
Usually Meritline or Monoprice is my buddy for cheap quality cables and ebay (china) for little chargers and stuff.

Great find! Got mine today and a 2 USB port cigarette lighter adapter - car charger for $2.16 for the win.
I went to my dollar tree and they didn't have any micro usb cables. Bummed but they did have a firewire cable that I don't need for anything.
Awesome Find!!!!
Will look into this!

Cool can't wait for link!
Those cables look like they're one hell of a deal for a buck! They do look a little cheaper made than a blackberry cable, I still have mine from my tour , but for the price? Worth all 100 pennies.
They do not last. I've been buying these for a while. Usually only last a month, 10-15 uses.

Meritline has 5ft cables for $1.50 each when you buy two. Idk how long they'll stay this price

Good stuff, glad to see some other cheap options in here. For what they are, these cables should be a buck or two after all. Stores charging $9.99 or more are just out of their minds.
Anyway, I hope mine last longer than a month, if I have any crap out I'll be sure to update the OP.
I went back to grab a cable for my dad last week and they were all sold out, so I think I'll grab a couple of those blackberry cables posted in another thread.
Excuse my tardiness guys, 12 hour shifts at work tend to throw me off a bit much. Here's a link to the BlackBerry micro USB cables i was talking about. The $1.19 ones are gone, but the this one is only $0.14 more @ $1.33 (with shipping) which is still a deal.

Cool, I'll have to remember that. Especially now that I have Amazon Prime for a year (aka 2 day shipping for anything)
Meritline has 3.3ft cables for $1.79 for 1 and $1.20 each for two: http://www.meritline.com/3-3-feet-u...-phone-on-pc-and-transfer-data---p-56587.aspx
Of course they aren't the quickest shippers but if you just need extra cables and don't need them right away, they're perfect.
i prefer 6ft cables
i spend extra on startech 90° cables
worth every penny

6ft might be good for a home, bedside, or computer cable but for a mobile/travel cable 6ft would be cumbersome
i use a 6ft in my car as well
my passengers thank me every time

For those of you that dont know about the site Dealextreme, its chock full of cheap Chinese made gadgets and gizmos, and lots of knockoff name brand stuff. I just received one of the best car chargers ive ever had for my phone from the site, and the best part is it was only $2.80 shipped. The cord retracts into the body to keep clutter down that you get with the $30 charger from Best Buy.

I ordered two, one for my girlfriends HTC, and unsurprisingly one of them came with a damaged cable (insulation was peeled off). Though after sending them a picture, theyre sending me a new one at no cost. I ordered a similar one for my Nokia E72 a few months ago which worked well. As well as a retractable 4 in 1 AC charger (Nokia, mini and micro USB, and iPhone all spliced into one cable) to keep at the shop for about $4. Its all cheap Chinese made crap, but still a great value.
I dont work for the site, just sharing what i though was a great find.
that website is ok, but the quality of their item is relatively poor. There are only a few items that have decent quality.
Yes if one out of two was falling apart when you got it that doesn't speak well for it lasting very long.
$2.80 dude

I use this one for all my MicroUSB needs. For under $5 shipped, it's amazing, looks nice (the circle is glass that lights up blue), and "name brand" I suggest this one over a $3 cheaply made one.
I just use one of these:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004T1VSRK
nice and compact and i can charge any USB device from it, put's out enough amps to even charge my wifes ipad....
Okay, I've done it. I've got my phone so messed up that I need a jig.
I'm just weary of all the eBay posts and Chinese websites.
If you've bought one, I want to hear from you.
Where did you buy it from?
How much did you pay?
What should I look out for?
Thanks in advanced,
- Nate
LOL, not a big deal. I bought mine of eBay for $5 (or so). ALWAYS comes in handy....
It's only a male microUSB dongle with a couple of resistors soldered up to it
and that's all. Nothing to really watch-out for. I buy loads of stuff online (eBay)
i can always trust my money with PayPal:good::laugh:
Good Luck....
Making your own isn't too hard, I've made my own since I only needed it once.

For those who don't have any solderings skills and are lazzy (<like me). Spend a couple of bucks on a handy tool you can count on.

$1 buck and some change. Any ebay seller. It may take a few wks from overseas.
it doesn't have to be Infuse specific...any samsung galaxy device
For anyone wanting to use their existing micro-USB cables until the price and availability of type C accessories improve, here is a very good price. It's made by Xiaomi and sold by TinyDeal. The damn thing is less than $2 shipped (from China, but not in stock until 11/15) and as long as you're not in a hurry, that's hard to beat.

I bought 3 from amazon for much more than that. They were almost $5 each. I took the chance and bought 5 more from them.
I bought these and they work to charge, but do not work for otg
I bought the OP one even though it was more expensive. The adapter is nice but I feel it's worth it.

Thanks for the heads up! This is seriously tempting even though I already have the battery / cradle combo.

ROFLMAO, "temporarily out of stock" (must be LG-speak for we had a few, now we don't have any, but we're not going to tell YOU that).

i ordered 2 lg10 batterys last night..only other thing they had was a charger...the lg backs are 99 bucks on amazon..the battery's are super expensive to
Looks like the V10 charging cradles are back in stock. Ordered me a cradle/battery combo this morning.....
Appreciate the heads-up. Made an order last week, and got my charger and batteries today. For $35, i really really cant complain about getting OEM quality batteries and chargers (right now, i am planning on keeping my V10 running as long as i cna, as an audio player once i retire it as a phone)...

That's funny. Once I put both in the cart they only charged me $20 for everything, battery and cradle. How'd you pay $35?

two batteries and one charger ($20 + 15). Didn't need two chargers and my phone, but the batteries are useful, so....
Last week I've tried to place an order on the bundle via guest and registered user but either the battery or cradle shows its out of stock on checkout. Online chat and phone support mentioned that both were in stock at the time. I've used different browsers such as IE, chrome, mobile chrome & finally mobile dolphin. Any suggestions?
Thanks so much for posting this! Battery and a cradle for $20 is a hell of a deal.
I wonder how long this sale is going to go on for, I didn't see anything about that. Even the $15 is cheap for OEM batteries. Standards would make batteries cheaper, but right now all the companies see the huge profit margins on accessories and don't want to allow that market to develop.
just saw this and got me the bundle for $20. what a sweet deal this is
Damn, why doesn't the German LG have this. Forget sales, it looks like they don't sell the battery or cradle at all...
Thank you for the tip. Confirmed when adding V10 battery and charger to cart price is $20
