The first thing I usually notice about aftermarket USB C is how they connect to the charging port. These were very clicky and you know when they are seated. When connected to micro-usb they have a very nice click as well.
Charging speeds were the exact same as rated on the charger. These do not hinder charging speeds at all. My phone charged just as quickly as I expected with my desktop charger - Not fast charging, of course, as that would require full USB-C.
I moved some files over with these as well and got the expected USB speeds. The connector did not slow the transfers down. I compared the speeds to another Micro USB device I had and both gave the same speeds to and from the device with the same cable.
The addition of the keyring on these connectors is amazing! I’m hoping that on the next Choetech portable batter they will add a place for me to attach this keyring. Having it on my keys is great. The connector stayed put when I picked up my phone with plenty of weight on the keys (truck key, key fob, bottle opener, a couple of house keys, a couple loyalty cards, a Motorola keylink, and plenty of keyrings)! I can’t believe no one has thought of doing this yet, great job Choetech!
In closing, these are the Micro USB to USB-C adapters to purchase for sure. The click when inserting the micro cable as well as the USB C into the phone along with the keyring make these a no-brainer.
I received this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. Choetech is looking for people to review the item listed here. I am not affiliated with Choetech other than reviewing for them. They are great people and make a great product.

The USB connection kit is nice, but rather annoying as it makes everything stick out like crazy. Not exactly the best if you want to watch a movie while holding the tab or something like that. I bought a cheap third part USB host adapter for the P1000 - one with a female USB connector on the end of a short cable - and glued it all together to one lump. I then paired it with a tiny microSDHC reader. The result is a much more compact external storage solution that does the job of allowing me to transfer files to a USB drive instead of the tablet itself while not making the tablet annoying to hold afterwards. This is just the first prototype though, I've ordered more or these things and an planning on taking them apart to see if I can eliminate some wires and plastic to make it even smaller. Don't want to risk breaking this one while I wait for those though, so "boring mode DIY" so far.

Looks good! Have to look into this myself. Thanks.
Got four more such adapters today (they're $2.90 shipped worldwide so can't exactly complain about the price - btw, they're not originally for the P1000 as stated in the first post, but rather the 10.1).
Tore one down to see what I was dealing with below the casing and it's a pretty straight forward set of internal components that aren't glued to the casing or anything like that. The next step (i.e. the next adapter I make) will be to re-solder the wires shorter, right now I just let the cable stick out one side. The difference in thickness when getting rid of the housing is pretty nice.
Hellooooooooo fellow XDA'ers. Leaving a review here for a product that was offered to me at a discounted rate for the purpose of a review. Yes, that means I still had to pay a little bit out of my own pocket to get the cable.
http://www.amazon.com/USB-Cable-6FT...&qid=1450463579&sr=8-1&keywords=ankway+c+to+c
That's the one right there from Amazon.
Pros: Lengthy 6 ft cable for only $8
Build quality is comparable to the 6p included cable
Nice tactile and audible "click" when attaching to the 6p
Charges at just shy of 3A (total input current of 2940mA average via Ampere)
Includes Velcro strap to keep things tidy
Cons:
- Charging "head" is slightly thicker than stock 6p cable (refer to included pics with ruler)
- after a month of normal use in one area only (not moving from place to place), connection no longer works properly. Must lean the plug against something at certain angles for the charge to go through
Would I buy it again: No. Longevity is an issue.
Any questions, post em here.

That's pretty horrible. Should be an easy return though..

That's why people shouldn't skimp on cables. Tronsmart, Choetech, and IOrange make good cables based on my usage.
Why is it so difficult to find a good car charger! A lot of them out there don't have enough AMPs to do the job and charge 2 devices at once.
I found one though that works really good, the CHOETECH Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 & USB C Ports in Dual USB Car Charger. I really recommend it as it has a Quick charge port and a mix of USB and USB C Type ports. Very practical to charge 2 devices with different ports at the same time and fast.
So if you need a good car charger that charges fast and fits perfectly in the car slot, then buy this one!

That was one of the ones I considered and ended up getting this one: USB C Quick Charge 3.0 AUKEY Car Charger with Dual AiPower Ports for LG G5, Galaxy S7/S6/Edge, Nexus 6P/5X & Other USB-C Devices | Qualcomm Certified https://www.amazon.com/dp/B018TGGH4E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_C6hzxbE7CS52Y
With QC3.0 and 2 other adaptive ports, it has plenty of power to go around.
I like Blitzwolf. I order them from Banggood. They are high quality chargers.
For a powerbank I prefer Anker.
Got this recently, works great for QC 3.0.

choetech car charger
I got this one, I dont have any usb-c to usb-c cables yet, and this one has two USB A sockets and supports qualcomm qc3.0 charges up very quick
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Charge-Charger-CHOETECH-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B017LLHK8K/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1468237707&sr=8-12&keywords=choetech+usb-c
Have you ever just needed some good quality USB Type-A to Type-C cables that are well made and look awesome? How about some cables that will outlast your stock cables. Well with that said I believe I have found those magical cables. Choetech has developed some Type A to Type C nylon braided cables. Yes I said nylon braided. They really feel nice in the hand and look outstanding. They are built with premium grade aluminum, that is coupled with hard plastic. Now I know you might say “Why the hard plastic on the ends?” Well the reason for that is to strengthen the cable to connector end bond. As we all know with allot of cables that the back of the connecting end to the cable is the most commonly failed part of any cable. You know like the ones that Apple sends with their phones that always short out at the ends.
Now this set comes with 3 3.3ft/1m nylon braided cables with Choetech name on both ends. These cables allow for fast USB 3.0 transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. Are compatible with any phone or laptop that uses the latest Type C platform. I currently have them hooked to my Type A and C ports on my desktop, and haven’t had any connection issues over the last few days of testing.
All I have to say is if you want some premium cables to have on your desk or in your gear bag these are the ones you must purchase. These cables surely deserve 5 stars in my book. So when you get a chance gone head over to Amazon and get you a few packs. Currently they are only $12.99. Now that is a good deal compared to some of these so called premium cables I have purchased before. Here is the link https://amzn.com/B01LX8GCZ5 Enjoy

After getting my Oculus Quest 2, one of the most obvious drawbacks was the battery life. If I wanted to play longer in between charge times, I needed to find a good solution. One thing you can do is plug your headset into the wall with a long cord, while you play. This works, but it restricts your movement and can come unplugged very easily. So here is the solution I came up with.
I started using a portable USB C charger to power my headset when it gets low. The charger can sit in my pocket while I continue to play. The first charger that I used only slowed the discharge time. It wasn't charging my headset while I was playing. This is because most portable chargers use a 5W output. The Oculus Quest 2 can take a 15W charge. So I upgraded to the RavPower 18W Power Bank. This product has enough power output to charge my headset while I keep playing.

I thought I'd share this info here, so other people can know what type of portable charger they need to get. Here is a link to the exact charger that I am using now. I can get two full charges out of this power bank, while gaming. This will extend the battery life of my Oculus Quest 2, to basically last all day. The charger has two ports [1x USB-A, 1x USB-C]. I use it with the same charging cable that the headset came with, which is the right length to fit into my pocket without being too long.
I'm sure other brands will work just as well. Just make sure that your power output is over 15W and it's small/light enough to fit into your pocket.
