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.

The only great thing about monster is the profit margin they make stores. God I used to love convincing people how they "needed" a monster cable to get things to work the way they should. Of course this was when I made commision way back when I sold them lol.

Yep. Bought that one for the car and bought 2 6ft ones for indoors. All work flawlessly.
I ordered some generic cables on eBay and they work just fine. I do like the way that the micro usb side of the cable that came with the phone is angled, making it easier to plug in in the dark.
I've looked online and found the Samsung replacement part but it appears they are only 2' 9" long (which is a LOT shorter than the cable that came with the phone).
Here's one of the sites where I found this:
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=38609&cat=888
Has anyone seen a longer (and possibly cheaper) cable like this?
Thanks!

Just buy the monoprice cable and score the right side of the microusb end with a knife or something so you can easily insert it in the dark.
Anyone seen one that is at a right angle that goes in the phone instead up straight up?
So when plugged in, in the car and mounted it doesn't go up like 2 inches before it turns back down.
**nevermind found one on ebay (searched usb cable micro angled)
I bought a 2 pack of retractable cables on ebay for portable charging. To my surprise they work to transfer data, too. It's interesting because the last retractable phone cable I bought could only be used to charge (samsung instinct)
Bought mine from NewEgg and an expensive one is about $15. I choose some that were $4 a piece. Works great
Just placed my order for 2 6ft ones. One to have at work and one at home.

do not get right angle! I made that mistake, it covers the 3.5 mm audio.
get an "Up angle" for a while usbfirewire.com was the only vendor and was $16 to $20 shipped depending on length, but they recently started showing up on ebay for $7 shipped.
I got an up angle from this vendor and it came fairly fast for hong kong (abut 7 days) and was a very good gauge and quality:

Can anyone recommend a *thin and flexible* USB charging cable? I bought these from Amazon and although they work fine, they are too stiff and thick and I am worried that they will damage my port with prolonged use since I have to bend the cable before the phone lies flat on the table while charging. There are many other options out there but it is hard to judge by the picture how thin and flexible the cable is. I am looking for something as thin and flexible as the OEM cable. Thanks
Got mine in the mail the other day. Took about 3 days or so to get. Very quick shipping. The usb part that plugs into the phone is pretty snug.
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!!!!

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
http://www.meritline.com/usb-a-to-micro-usb-male-male-cable---p-40558.aspx
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

I am obsessed with USB chargers that have all of the following qualities:
Reputable vendor (preferably OEM)
Attached cord
High amperage
Long cord (1.5m-2m)
In the past, I did much research and found one adapter that I became obsessed with this thought, and did a lot of research. After buying dozens of chargers, I found this. So I bought about 10x of them, gave as gifts, and placed them everywhere, I even have a spare one still in the package. Now that I have this type-C phone, I need it's successor. I prefer the attached cable because when I move around at night, I don't want the cable to come out. I also don't want someone to steal the cable off of my charger.
This is what I found, but it's looks cheap, and the cord is too short. If I don't find anything better, I'll have to go for it.
as far as attached cables go, I think the one Google sells is your only reputable option
