Have done a lot of searching on Amazon and still am unable to locate a good quality Type C to Type C 5V 3A desktop cradle. For that matter, I am unable to find a good quality cradle period. Anyone else have a suggestion?
They seen to be thin on the ground at the moment, any by thin on the ground I mean non existent...
Did you see this? Not sure if it's legit or not.

I would not trust a cradle like that to hold a phone as large as the Nexus 6P to hold it just by the USB-C port.
Iam also looking for something like this. Iam thinking buying one that has type c end and connect the OEM charger that might work
I purchased the NXET dock after the review I read from Benson Leung giving it 5 stars. My first post so I can't post a direct link yet, but search 'NXET® Type-C Dock' on Amazon. The only thing I dislike is the cable is wired to the charger and cannot be removed. I had thought having only the Type-C port holding it up would cause issues, but I haven't had any problems and it charges pretty darn fast.
There's also one from Kidigi. Its similar if not the same as NXET's Type-C, but keep in mind Kidigi's first release wont fast charge and don't meet usb-c specs.
I don't think there's a proper fast charging dock yet. I'm using this spigen cradle which has a slot behind to plug in your charger and works well.

You'd think they would be able to just use a USB-C port on the back as well so that the dock simply acts as a cable extender of sorts. That way you could use whatever fast charger you want.

Has anyone found a spot to buy them? The ones on the Samsung site look different. And I want to make sure the end fits inside my case because the hole is designed for the cable that comes with the phone. I don't want to get into cutting the case or cable ends.

Don't waste your money buying them from samsung. All usb cables are the same, just find a cheap one on amazon or monoprice. You could just look at pictures and find one that looks small enough to fit your case.
Edit- well I guess this is wrong. I've bought a few couple cheap usb cables and never had a problem but other people have.
Just to let you know...the tmobile mytouch usb fits into the neo case too. They might be cheaper too

I used to think the same thing, but this is absolutely not true. You can download the app Galaxy Charging Current and compare your charging rates with different cables. If you don't believe the app, you can start from a specific charge level and time the charge with the screen off and no apps running. There can be a significant difference. There are several posts throughout the GS4 forums if you search for the app name.
This isn't only true for the GS4 either. I tried using a USB 2.0 extension cable I bought in 03 or 04 to extend my Palm Pre touchstone, but the phone wouldn't consistently charge with the extension in place.
How's the charging speed on those? I know some cheaper cables don't charge as quickly.

NOT all cables are the same!
The included one with the phone allows charging up to 1900mA. The one from the S3 (for example) will only charge up to 960. I have some that won't go over 460.

Its true about the varying speeds of usb cables. Here are some pics of the app with different usb plugs:
Pic 1: unplugged
Pic 2: white Samsung cable (stock)

Pic 4: htc evo 3d cable (aftermarket from car adapter)

So is it the cable that is affecting the charging current, or is it just the charger itself?
Thanks

Both.
What is strange to me the phone with that app reports it's getting 1900mA when I use an old HTC charger capable of 1A (1000mA) @ 5V when using the OEM USB cable. Either that HTC charger's specs were grossly understated or the phone itself tries to sense electrical properties of the USB cable? Not sure if that last bit is even possible.
Anyone with knowledge on how the phone determines how much current to draw on a lower level? Kinda curious.
Also, there are sellers on eBay for the original S4 charging cable for something like $7, or same charging cable and 2A wall adapter for $10.
See for example: http://www.ebay.com/itm/230980370756
The part number they list (ETA-U90JWE) is the same as my OEM charger, that can do 2A @ 5 V.

:BUMP:
Also looking for a 1900mA charger/usb chord combo. Found 2 "OEM" fakes on Amazon (reviews reported fake), and can't just buy, and hope for the best on eBay. Looking to see if someone has bought, tried, and tested a charger/chord combo that does 1900mA from a reliable source. I'm not paying $40+ for a charger/usb chord from samsung. There's got to be an alternative.
Newegg.com sells them.
I've ordered this charger + cable (aware of the risk of fake, will be comparing to my included/OEM), this micro USB cable, and this micro USB cable.
Also waiting on this car charger.
Using Battery Monitor Widget app to get mA readings during charge.
Will report back with results as I receive and test.
I bought this, since my S4 came with the european one, this is 100% original (Same that comes with the S4 and Note 2):

Hey
I need some help, my charging wire has completely broken, and I am looking for a new one. IS there any where that still sell this wire? Otherwise my tablet has pretty much been rendered useless if i cannot charge it.
Will any wire work with the charging plug that is USB and what ever the other end of the wire connector is ? I don't know where to find such a wire to replace my broken one.
Please help

Anyone find a FAST wireless car charger yet? From what I see the Samsung wireless car charger isn't FAST enabled, and it's pretty expensive. I've scoured Amazon and don't see any FAST ones either. I have a non car Choetech one rigged in my car with magnets, but it's an imperfect solution and I'd rather have one made for the car. It's too bad because iOttie has a super nice magnetic one, but it's not FAST charging. Anyone see anything?

It's really odd that there are none on the market, QC 2.0 has been out for a while and I think QC 3.0 is starting to come out. I'll have to Frankenstein a desktop charger then, won't be the first time.
I bought this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01582ELMC/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It has yet to ship though so i cant confirm it is actually fast charging.
I also bought this upright charger that is pretty slick: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01H76NIAS/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Unfortunately it does not come with the wall plug so you have to buy that separately.

I bought this last January and it works great. It is fast wireless charging.

i am using my qc2.0, it works fine. Sure not 3.0, but charges fast nonetheless.
Just got this one and it shows fast wireless charging on the screen when in use. Tried it with GPS and screen on and it still charges pretty fast. I'm using it right now with the vent mount that also came with it.

Recently I came across magnetic USB cable. Looks cool and such.
I did my homework and looks WSKEN mini 2 is amonth the best.
I've got 2 questions:
1. Does someone using this cable or at least magnetic cable? How is it in real life?
2. Does fast charging (9V, 1.67A) working on such cables?
Thank you.

This is the third one that I tried and they work pretty good. Both fast charging and data with the LED facing up with the LED facing down slow charge and data

ordered those Wsken cables. Let's see how it will be in real life.
I have a similar magnetic cable i bought on amazon. It works fine, but i find it disconnected (physically) when i tugged it a little. I've stuck to a normal charger now as its more practical for me.
Bought 2 cable and both are not working... Trying to reach seller, no luck so far. I guess I need to open a case on ebay.

Replaces a regular cable and has an adapter that stays in the phone and it's a quick connect. Check any of the links above to see more about them. The ones I linked actually work pretty well.

You don't have to plug it in, just attach it and the adapter stays in which means less wear and tear on the port.
