Hmm, not for me.
California Tax ftw? Maybe it's cheaper elsewhere, YMMV. I'd prefer shopping at Amazon anyway, /shrug

yea that cali state tax sucks for you. But I love monoprice. All my cables are from them.

I just have to point this out, but was there a point to blackout your zipcode from the box when its listed just above it with the town name too? haha

That says "shipping from" and it doesn't match anyways. 913XX vs 91730
For the extra pocket change I would just buy it from monoprice. Reputable quality and you'll get it pretty quick. Buying from the Amazon Marketplace is like buying from random power sellers on ebay.

I've bought a lot of stuff from eforcity long before I heard of monoprice. They sell a lot of stuff on Ebay for pretty cheap.

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.

And where did you get it from? There's a TON of FUD out there about cheapo cables frying phones, hence people's reluctance to buy from monoprice/ebay.

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!

The only one I see is $6.99. http://www.handhelditems.com/micro-hdmi-hdmi-cable-p999-tmobile-feet-p-162207.html
Can we get a link?

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.

usb chrager cable not working well

Hi
I bought a cheap Chinese USB charger cable for my N4 and I feel like it doesn't charge as well as the original... (although I use the same AC power)
Could it be ? or is it just me ?

It's the cheap cabling, I have the same issue with cheap 3 metre cabling I bought on eBay.

So you paid less than usual for something and now it's performance is worse than usual. What a shocker.

@SMillerNL = You should see the annual report of some of the big western companies to figure that most of their profits comes from people like you

get a proper usb cable, i got a cheap Chinese one and the usb split on one side and the connection to the phone was too short so i had to cut some of the insulation off.

It's not that I don't buy cheap stuff, it's that I don't expect it to have the same quality.

Can anyone advise which cable to buy, if someone had experience with any particular cable?
It's not that I don't wanna pay, or that I look for cheap one.. but still there are some limits
Just looking for good one. Friend bought few cables, they were so stiff I was afraid they will break if you wiggle them, and micro usb port was also hard to inject into phone..was afraid to break micro usb port..
Was looking on LG web, couldn't find it for buy..
So, looking if someone have experience with some particular cable. TnX

Best cables I have ever used. Very high quality, they feel very much like (dare I say it), Apple cables with the hard shell.

I use the monoprice premium cables too. Had it for a couple months and no breaks yet. And life time warranty. Better than the amazon basic cables.

Ah yes, already checked monoprice, looks like good quality cables, but problem is that they don't ship to my country
And even if they did, I checked country next to mine, price would be ~20$, so..
TnX anyway

Try amazon. I bought mine through there.

Have you thought about wireless chargers? Fry's usually has those for about $20, and they come with a USB cord.

Anyone else a ZNAPS USB-C connector backer?

I have a feeling I might be one of the few that actually went with this option, but when I backed them, I ended up switching to the USB-C connector they added. Figured I would go for it based off all the Nexus/USB-C rumors, future-proof it. I'm just a little bummed I will have to wait till March at the earliest for it =(.

Yes sir I'm a backer. 2 USB micro and 1 USB c I'm waiting for. Looking forward to it. If they meet their deadlines I'll be surprised

I am, but currently its just the micro usb one. Im about to order the usb c version since i just pre-ordered the 6P.

I backed and it and bought 3 of the Micro usb and 3 Type-C ones. I haven't heard anything since placing my order a while ago.

They literally just sent an email after I posted

You say March is when you have to wait... am I missing something? I just pre-ordered a few of the Type-C ones off of their site and it says they'll ship in January.
Anyway, thanks for this thread because I originally backed the KS but cancelled because I didn't want to risk wasting the $$ for a few months of use with the Micro-USB before Type-C started to come out, and I completely forgot about these!

Those are pretty cool, might order me some

Yeah, I'm a backer of the Sesame smart lock, and at this point it's pretty common place to be incredibly late. I'm expecting around may-june for these.

Hmm...just checked the kickstarter page again, it's definitely a march shipping date for usb-c, not sure where you're getting January from. No problem though =).

I had backed them, then dropped out because I don't believe this product will function well / as advertised, and I think it'll end up being crap.
But when / if I'm proven wrong, I'll pick one up

I doubt these will support 3A charging

They will.
I backed, bought 2 full sets of micro USB and 2 of the USB C type. I can use the micros as breakaways for my xbox one controllers.

according to them it doesn't inhibit speed/power as it is just a pass-through. we will see though. they said its compatible with QC2.0 but who knows about 3.0

If you pre-order from their website it gives January 2016 as the shipping date.

According to the information on their kickstarter, they will, but they could be lying of course. It is kickstarter after all.

Man, i hope so...realistic is April-May though.

I'm a backer too, bought 4 sets of micro usb, before I thought about getting the Nexus. Just added some USB-C, not sure when they'll ship.

I'm a backer too from the kick starter. I ordered 1 micro USB and 2 type C connectors.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

Let's hope they at least deliver the micro USB ones on time because I need one for my Shield I'm using 'need' loosely here but I knwo the Type-C ones will take forever...

Hope they come soon. My Oneplus just ate through my 6 foot anker cable. Only lasted like 3 months.
Sent from my A0001 using Tapatalk

i ordered usb-c and mini ones. They claim they work with QC 2.0 so decent chance the will work with nexus quick charge. We will see.

This product looks amazing, really hoping it works as well as advertised, and if so going to be buying quite a few. Probably going to Preorder a usb-c one tonight although I'm guessing it probably won't ship until end of 1Q 2016.

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.
