Does anyone know of any adapters that work on the Moto Z force?
Pick one from Benson's Amazon list:

I got the official HTC brand car charger on Amazon for $15. It has 2 charging usb ports and comes with a coiled micro usb cable. While your Inspire is plugged into the 1st port, the 2nd port can be used to charge any device that gets its power from a usb port (such as an iphone, ipod, etc for example). I imagine the official charger is $25-$30 at AT&T or Best Buy, so Amazon is the way to go. I wouldn't trust the cheap crap on eBay. Yes it's cheaper, but $15 on Amazon isn't exactly big money.

thanks, i'll get it from amazon.
So i'll preface this by saying, there isn't a thread dedicated to this topic, and the other topics don't really address this issue head on. It's really to try and provide neo hybrid owners with a good source of where to get a cable that meets all the requirements.
Basically neo hybrid owners, besides the cable supplied with the galaxy nexus:
micro usb cables currently being used,
whether or not you had to modify it in any way
if it [email protected] the standard 1900mah rating
i've struggled to find a usb cable that works other than the oem, which is a bit shorter than i'd like. i went through a bunch of cables without the case on and to my pure shock, most of them charged at a rate ranging from 300 - 780!

so went through about 10 cables, only one non oem cable actually rated 1900mah charge rate, which was by iluv but doesn't fit the neo hybrid. scoured the amazon reviews and no one really mentioned working cables there just that they had issues with non oem cables on there as well

The white Kindle cable I have fits. I have no idea what rate it charges at, though.
My media bridge charging usb charges at full rate, but I had to mod it to fit.
Note that media bridge sells two different types of usb cables. The ones with the grey connectors are charge only and that is what I am using.
They are dirt cheap and ship prime on Amazon, so modding them is not to scary.

hm, actually ordered two cables from media bridge (the black connectors). One i lost (ordered 2 because I knew it would lose one) and the other actually stopped working. You just reminded me to call about warranty, as they have a nice 1 year warranty.

They have a pretty good customer service rep for being a budget brand.

actually managed to find my spare cable, it's great in terms of quality and it charges @ 1900mah, and i'm waiting to hear back about the cable that isn't working (the prongs no longer keep the cable in place when connected). i'll have to modify this type of cable to work but it's better than using a cable that charges slowly.
I use a dremel tool to trim the plastic on the USB cable to make it mine fit. I do the same with audio (3.5mm headphone jack) cables.

i should have broken out the dremel. instead I used a razor blade, came out fine though...
also heard back about my defective cable, just had to provide some info and a picture of the cable cut in half and i'm good to go to get a new cable.
I have the black mediabridge 6ft cable. It works but it charges extremely slow compared to stock cable. Possibly because of its length? Not sure
That's odd, it charges at the same 1900mah rate that the stock cable does. It should take the same amount of time regardless.

I melted / trimmed the jack on my OTG cable to make it fit. One from DX.

looks like it would be the same as the MHL adapter, and micro to standard usb built into one. I dont know for sure but it looks like it would work.
I'm not that brave but also not that rich to buy this as well..
This is what you need, genuine Samsung.

The genuine Samsung Smart Dock mentioned above works like a champ. I also picked up a Logitech keyboard/touch pad combo + Rotation Control (play store) app.
Connected to a monitor or TV, it's practically a desktop PC for me.

The cheap ebay one will only do one thing at a time. Not both mhl and otg simultaneously.

Bought the samsung with hdmi out and 3usb ports from mobilefun. Works great, about 72 shipped from the uk. Also picked up a cheaper samsung dock from amazon w/o hdmi and usb for about 30. Phone fits both fine even with my case mate case on.

Just found Monoprice.com yesterday and they look like high quality dirt cheap cables.
Anybody been using them for a while? Know how well they perform? Charging rates? Data transfer speeds? Longevity?
I'm curious about how the Gold plated ones compare to the non-gold plated and premium cables.
Thanks!

Huh. So if your phone needs more than 1A it looks like only official OEM cables are good?
But for the average smartphone that needs only 1A they sound pretty good.
Now I wonder how the cheaper ones fare. Next time I am in the area I'll test them in the store. They're to far from me to just drive to, but I do go to the area a couple times a year. Save the shipping and stock up while I'm there if they're good.
Have you found any 3rd party cables that are cheaper than official Samsung but also reliably put out 2A?
My current phone only needs 1A but can't hurt to look into better cables anyhow.
Thanks.

right now im using a oem blackberry microUSB that came with my old curve. it still gives me my full 1900mah, and i know they can be had dirt cheap.
my rule of thumb is, thicker is better (thats what she said). paper thin cables you get at a kiosk at a mall or at a gas station normally are the weaker cables. the thicker the better. both my blackberry and the samsung usb cable are allot thicker then the average $.99 cable.
i suppose if your phone dosent need the higher amps, try a cheapy. my GS4 charges ALLOT faster with a proper cable, so ill spend the few extra bucks.
Okay. So OEM blackberry cables. I just bought the OEM blackberry playbook flip charger for $4.50, dirt cheap and the best charger in the house. Haha. To bad its cable is built in.

I know it IS compatible voltage and amperage wise.
My question was if it is compatible because the bottom of g flex 2 is kind of SLASH CUT.
The ebay sellers description says a lot of phones are not compatible because bottom of phones are not flat.

just got this from ebay , looks nice and works perfectly with the flex 2 . only thing is now i have to buy more mag cables to use in my car and when im out and about .
I got one from ebay but it sticks out too far when it's plugged in. I don't think I'm going to use it because I'm afraid it will snag something and damage the usb port.
Edit: After reading some Amazon reviews it seems that the micro usb is a tight fit by design so that it stays in place securely. I was scared to apply too much force and break the phone, but I gave it a good push and it popped into place. It sits nearly flush with the bottom of the phone (not perfect because of the curved bottom edge) and seems to be working well so far.
