I thought I'd share as they finally got delivered. Still says it will be delivered on the 13TH of next month...
Orzly® Multi-Colour Value Pack of USB 2.0 Type C (USB-C) to Type A (USB-A) Cables (1M) for use with OnePlus 2, Nokia N1 Tablet, Lenovo Zuk Z1, and Other Type-C Supported Smartphones & Tablets https://www.amazon.com/dp/B013RMG5WY/
They are USB 2.0, but I know I'll need some spare cables at home, in the car and at work.
The cables are much nicer than I thought it would be for this price. They actually are a beautiful color with a clear surrounding on them as you can see in the pictures. The end all have this really nice speckled metallic appearance. The connectors look like they're pretty well made and nothing feels cheap. I will say the cables themselves are a little floppier that I was expecting but I've noticed this from flat cables a lot more.
Only cost me $19 for the 4 cables. Let me know if you guys have any questions, I'll answer what I can.

I was just looking at these on Amazon untill I read a review some guy said they only charge at 500mA max so idk
They may, but I don't care, that's why they are spares. I've got a few others on the way and one of the dual port ones from Google work the long cable.
thanks these will probably work great for a nice slow trickle charge through usb at work!

That's what I was thinking, when you can't find your good cable and need something to keep it alive, or have to move some files or pictures at work.
I have these but haven't used then yet. They feel very cheap to me. I don't expect more than 500mA. I'm sure they'll be great for a trickle charge until they fall apart. I expect to keep them for that reason only, even if they only last 6 months.

Yeah, I could barely care if I lose one, just a spare. I didn't think they felt super cheap though. Did you get the same colors?
We just got these in my store, ?

I've got them and been using them with my OP2 since launch. What app can I use to check charge rate one you let me know I'll check all of them. I just got in the red and black cable from them and it is thicker and feels like it's high quality I'll do a video this week on it
I'm using a good looking app called Ampere.

I use to have one for my old 3gs and was wondering if i can get on for my nexus one? Thanks
http://www.solio.com/charger/
@jairuncaloth Those are a bit much I haven't tired any of these chargers but the prices are a bit more reasonable. www.solarstylemiami.com
Mine was a gift. It's pretty handy.
Another vote for the Solio. A pricy but amazing device, I never go anywhere without mine
+2 for Solio...the best functionally!
Which one of those solar chargers are compatible with Nexus one?

Solio usually comes with all kinds of adaptors for all phones. Check their website for specifics.
I don't know if they have a microusb tip yet. That's pretty easy to work around though. Mine came with a standard usb female port. I can plug the N1's usb cable right into it.

I ordered an A97 tip cox it looks like extUSB. I'll let you guys know is that the one after I got it.
I have a MicroUSB for my solio, bought it straight off the main solio site with a few other tips
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=Google&model=Google+Nexus+One+PB99100&skuno=83981
this one seems/looks nice but i heard fommy.com is a bad company to deal with
Yes! It is A97 tip!
I just got the tip and it works like a charm!
Just curious....Where do you use these?
I just can't imagine being somewhere I would sit long enough to use this that I wouldn't have access to AC or USB.

you could also use this if you manage to already have a mini usb adapter

Ah...No wonder I couldn't think of uses...These are all things I'd have to get-up and move around to do! My idea of roughing-it would be switching from 3G to Edge!!
Here is the Amazon link
http://www.amazon.com/GooseWhite-Po...1RS2KAEN60CZP&qid=1377203998&s=generic&sr=1-5
I just ordered it, I will post a review once I get it...I like how it looks in the pictures, and it seems to be possibly better than the China branded ones from Ebay or Amazon....so we shall see...
here's the Amazon pictures until i have actual ones

so in about a week or so i'll post the review and actual pictures
i figured since the 3 people who ordered their other Qi charger were satisfied that i would give this one a shot...it's a decent price and i like the looks...and it has a buzzer as well as an LED to let you know when it's done charging
Let us know how this one pans out.
I bought one of the DT-900's (on sale).. it worked great for 2 days.. and I haven't been able to get it to work since with my N4 (still works fine with my N7).
Only thing that really interests me on this one is the 1A charge, seems like that would definitely be on the high end for Qi chargers.
All of those pictures are CGI. I would wait for real photographs.

man, another circle wireless charger? Why do they keep making these? Phones are not made in the shape of circles.

Yeah, that's why I got it, I'm hoping it actually IS what it says it is
I´ve just got it. Looks nice and works well, BUT it plays a moderately loud sound when you put your nexus to charge. This is very annoying because i use it when i go to sleep and awakes my wife.
Obviously i am not going to risk my marriage for an iq charger Anyone knows how to disable the sound? I´ve opened it, but i´ve found no buzzer in the circuit. I don´t mind breaking the buzzer if needed.

Did you get it yet? Looking forward to your review on this!
Has anyone out there found a decent desktop cradle? I like to stand my phone up on the night stand while charging.
Got this one a few weeks ago for $8...worth it IMO, the quality and construction are both great esp for the price: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0126HG28I/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Any pics of it in the stand/connector/power cable etc? Thx Would be nice to have one at work to stand the phone up instead of it sitting on my notepad flat.
Maybe at home as a charge stand at night as well.
I bought one of these a while back when I had the wireless adapter for my M8.

If anyone is still interested in this, I ordered this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018PJ6EBG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
*****UPDATE*******
This will NOT NOT NOT work with the A9. I sent it back to the seller with a rant. Obviously they didn't test it, the USB connection is 180 degrees out.

I use a cheap business card holder, it is black and mesh and my phones have all fit very well in it on their side.

Anyway, can't find a desktop cradle worth beans anywhere. Pretty sad how the A9 support is so limited.

The problem is HTC don't make the charging in the middle but they keep moving the port in/out a little in the side from model to model. For example, the dock for m7 won't fit the m8, the dock for m8 won't fit the m9. While the dock for m9 has same width as the a9 but the port location is off just a little. If they would just put the freaking charging in the middle, we can use the dock from the m8 or m9.
This one would work if you don't mind the phone is off center: http://www.amazon.com/First2savvv-d...&qid=1455986552&sr=1-10&keywords=htc+one+dock
I used one of the dock for the M9 before and the problem is it disables the Quick Charge feature. It takes a long time to charge the phone. But I only tried one. If you have one that work with Quick Charger then please let me know.
Someone just need to make a dock where the charging port slides back and forth.
With there now being a clear distinguished line between what cables are certified and what aren't by Benson Leung, shopping for additional Type-C Cables is a little easier. So as I was after a new set of cables for my Nexus 6P, I was mainly looking for a pack that offered the best value for money.
I came across this Orzly quad pack on Amazon.co.uk for only £17.99 with free delivery so works out to about £4.50 per cable which is a bargain. I probably don't need all 4 cables, but it's nice to have spares if I ever lose or want to keep one at work.
I've tested these myself using the CheckR and Current Monitor app and all the cables pass with flying colours. I may just be repeating what many of you might know already but I thought it would be good to share my opinions and experiences with these cables on here.
Overall the build quality of the cables is really nice, robust and don't look like either ends will start to fall apart after some use. Would highly recommend these to anyone looking for additional Type-C Cables.

You're lucky! I missed that deal but still thought these cables are great value for money and work great!
I bought this exact 4-pack from Orzly for $15, received them just about a month ago, and now they are all broken. The USB-C connector first would bend, then would break off completely. I've emailed them and am waiting to hear back. Curious how they hold up for others who got these.

Yup Very frustrating, because after the first two broke I figured I must have been doing something to stress the connecter (even though I've never had this issue with any other cable on any other device over any length of time). So, I consciously babied the remaining two and they still broke the same way. It was definitely not user error . . . these things were defective, is all I can think. Maybe the ones I got were from a bad production run or something . . .? I don't know, but as mentioned I emailed them via Amazon to see what was up. Ideally they would send me a new 4-pack that weren't defective, but who knows. I'll update if I hear back.
I just received Choetech's new 5-Coil dual wireless charger to review. I just got it today, so I don't have a full review. But so far it appears to be very nice quality, and promises to fast charge (up to 10W) two devices at once. I'll test it with my Note 9 and Note 8 for a few days then leave a review here.
It can be purchased from Amazon for $53 (which is about half the price of Samsung's charger) at this link:
CHOETECH Dual Wireless Charger, 5 Coils Double Qi Fast Wireless Charging Pad Compatible with iPhone X/XS/XS Max/XR/8/8 Plus, Samsung Galaxy S9/S9 Plus/S8/S8 Plus, Note 9 (QC 3.0 Adapter Included) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KRZ9127/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_eaAiCb6B7N5JJ
But, Choetech let me know tonight they are hosting a giveaway with MacRumors, so you can win one of the chargers! Follow this link:

Mods, if this isn't allowed, please delete. Disclaimer: I do NOT work for Choetech or represent them in any way. I just was blessed with the opportunity to test a couple of their products for free, and wanted to help them out by posting a link to their contest.

I'll add mine here, don't mean to high Jack the thread or anything.
I just received mine after being out of town for a few weeks so it was a pleasant surprise.
1. I am very happy with the design and build quality or the charging pad. It is lite but feels solid and centered. The soft touch pad of the top of it helps to keep devices from moving around or slipping off. I do wish it was a bit wider though as I sometimes find myself trying to align my Note 8 and 9 in the sweet spot.
2. Making sure you have the right power brick hooked up to it provides dual fast charging. I just use my Samsung official charge block that came with my Note 9 and it works just fine.
3. Really love that you can use any USB C cable instead of a dedicated charger for the unit. You can also use any charge block you want, but if it isn't a fast charge block with 2a or higher, it'll charge at regular speed for both devices.
I don't have any gripes about this product besides the size of the pad. So 4 out of 5 stars from me. As far as the price goes, I think $50 is appropriate considering how much the Samsung official one costs $100 or more depending on where you buy it.
This ones a yes from me.??
Disclaimer stuff...
Choetech sent me a sample unit to test and give my opinion on. And no, the fact that it was a sample didn't skew my opinion on the charger.
