I bought my Nexus 6p at newegg but since then bought all accessories at Amazon since they were cheaper and more used. But I do have a gift cert for them and wonder can anyone vouch for any Nexus 6p accessories from there? I see plenty of cables but don't want inferior or worse yet fry my phone type..
Thanks for any real world experience..

If you post a link to what item you had in mind it would help out. As it stands your post is very vague, so we will need more details or specifics to help you out.
Well, I'm looking for the standard complement of Nexus 6P accessories. So far all the links/orders seem to go to Amazon:
Bought my Speigen case on Amazon as 2 day shipping there was necessary to get it here with my phone
Bought my RavPower battery on Amazon because it was cheaper at Amazon (with ravpower's promo code only good at Amazon)
Bought a couple of Anker Micro USB to USB-C adapters (and a AC Anker USB-C charger) at Amazon because I didn't see them at NewEgg
So the only thing I need to get still are USB-C cables -- (USB-C to USB-C, or USB-A to USB-C).. I see many of them at NewEgg but their review mechanism doesn't seem as robust as Amazon, and since I know the wrong cable can do serious harm, wondering if anyone has actually gotten any cables at NewEgg that they would recommend to purchase.

Looking to replace my oem S4 charger, I realize the samsung one is high quality and charges at 1900mA, but I don't want to spend $40+ on a charger..anyone have any good and cheaper alternatives, what will charge at least at 1200mA, links please? I been looking around amazon and online but I'm scared to get some cheap chinese ones.

Any other charger will charge slower than the official Samsung one because of the way it implements a quickcharge spec. That said, I use this one and it works well - but definitely slower than the Samsung one:

Any cable should be fine as long as it meets USB specs. I got a bunch on Monoprice that work great.

I bought this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CQS0S7E
It's probably NOT true OEM, but it does charge my S4 at 1900mA. However, the cable that came with it did not work. It won't even fit on the s4, or any other microUSB ports. It looked used/broken. I am using a regular USB cable from monoprice and it works fine.
btw, I ordered from BLUTEKUSA. I don't see them on the list of sellers right now, so it might be dangerous to buy these as there are a lot of negative reviews on the other sellers.

If you would have searched the titles of threads in this forum for the word "charger" then you would have found my thread. Please remember to search in the future, if you did not this time.

Bought a very cheap original Samsung Note2 charger here, does the job wonderfully.
Here's a small review of some charger I tested:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=44651947&postcount=128
Seems like the blackberry playbook charger is all good, charges the phone perfectly and efficiently.
I am using the iGO Dual USB Wall Charger for Tablets. It has two 2.1Amp ports, comes with a 6 or 7 foot USB cable and the A97 tip for charging. Works wonderfully and found it on clearance at RadioShack for $8.98. I can charge my iPad and my S4 at the same time with no issues.
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.
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.
hey, i am looking fo a charger OEM, since i have forgot mine in the hotel
so what is really concerning is that i have found a seller on ebay is selling OEM charger for $17!!!
i am asking if this can be true since in my opinion Aliexpress is more trusted than ebay " at least i can see the feedbacks"
This One
And this one
and what is your openion on this
SONEic - USB Type-C AMAZON
I know Amazon is safer since they have banned all uncertified type C cables....
Basically every charger is made in China and since Huawei is a chinese company and these ebay sellers are from China, it wouldn't surprise me that these chargers on eBay are legit although in my experience I would advise caution . As for the charger you have linked on Amazon, I haven't tried that one but I bought this one and haven't had any issues so far.

To be brutally honest with you, and this may seem a bit elitist and privileged to some, but I wouldn't trust my $600 phone with anything but an original charger or one bought directly from Google, and not Huawei, not ebay or amazon, and this goes for both chargers and cables.

Considering Google only makes 2 mediocre chargers (dual port 22W, and tethered 15W) I would rather get a 3rd party one. I have the Google dual port type C charger, but I also have ones from Choetech and Tronsmart that all work just as well as my OEM charger. I rarely use my OEM, in fact it's been in my drawer of chargers for a while now because other companies made better more versatile chargers. OEM chargers don't always use the best circuitry to control voltages, current etc, but with 3rd party chargers they have incentive to make better charges due to the intense competition. I witnesses this with my HTC 10 stock charger and Samsung one from my S7 Edge; OEM isn't always the best to say the least.
I've been very happy with the BlitzWolf charger

The thing is google store isnt available in my country and there is no work around, although I have a us shipping address :/
I'm using a Choetech charging station that's reasonably priced (slightly higher than what your looking at) and I've got to say it charges in very similar times to the original OEM charger, it also has the added benefit of being able to charge my smart watch and tablet at the same time too. Perfect for people who don't want chargers plugged in all over the place.
Here's a link:

Hope this helps.
Does anyone use a USB-C to micro USB adapater with their Mi5? I have a bunch of high-quality micro USB cables from my own phone that I'd like to use with the Mi5.
I'm wondering if charging speeds are affected and how well the adapters work. Anker sells a 2-pack for about $7, but I've also seen generics for $1 each. Is there a big difference between brands?
I use the original from Xiaomi! cheap and work great! Quick charge working with 6V and 2,6A

Didn't realize Xiaomi made those adapters! Rather buy theirs than from a 3rd party. I just ordered a few of them so I look forward to trying them out.
