Does anyone know if there is an evo 4g car kit that charges the phone and can be used with a silicone skin case?

It's a standard micro USB cable, so you can use any Micro-USB charger. I just picked up some cheap DC to USB converters and I use my standard cables in the car. Most cases have an opening for the charging cable.

Awesome! Thanks, ordered 2.
whats the length on these?
I bought some ebay (oem also) and they were not long.

Got one like this. Dirt cheap and it works great as this is my 'to go' cable that's in my car. I modded some USB ports into my car so I have retractable charge cables for ipod, micro, and mini usb as well as a aux input (also retractable) and I got them all on ebay for about $5 shipped.
monoprice.com always has cheap cables..... i bought a charger+usb cable for $5, and its more powerful than the one that comes with the Captivate. works like a charm.

Which ones did you buy from Monoprice?
I just need a couple more data cables to keep in my bag and an extra at work. I have a motorola rokr bt headset where the wall charger works with the captivate for home usage.
Sent from my Captivate
I bought both the Gunyman-suggested ebay cables and the monoprice cables. The ebay cables are the same as stock, only shorter. The monprice cables have a large plastic housing at the micro usb end and it won't fit into the recessed access port on our phones. Consequently i found the connection not very solid; almost like it is when you don't open the door all the way with the stock cable. I solved the problem by grinding down the plastic. Works, but I prefer the proper connectors on the ebay cable.

I also bought something similar to this (supposed samsung oem on ebay), it's about 3ft long, so perfect for when I'm using my laptop. Works great, charges and transfers without a hitch.
I also bought some 3ft and 6ft cables from monoprice.com and yes, they work... but the plastic around the plug is thick so they plug in at an angle because unless you do some minor surgery.
I was thinking about buying a charger four my captivate since mine is not working properly....
can anyone give me a recommendation good a good wall charger?
things I'm looking for is
1. Ability to separate the usb part and the wall charger part.
2. Usable for a long time
Would be nice to have a car changer.
Doesn't matter if its online or in real store.
p.s. Sorry if this belongs in the "captivate accessories" section

The cable that comes with the moto backflip is nice and sturdy.. just fixed my Samsung cable today.. get some pliers and very carefully squeeze on the tip. Unplug and plug into ur phone to see if the phone starts to charge with out being in a certain position.

I think it's bull**** that they charge an extra 20 bucks for the same dock thats hardwired. I mean YOU hardwire it instead of plugging it in to a cigarette lighter!! It's more effort/work. They should charge more for the cigarette lighter one IMHO. Since thats the case, I will just cut off the lighter plug, splice the wires, and hardwire it that way.
I'm pretty sure the hard wired one includes an adapter box. You can't just cut the cigarette lighter adapter off because you need something to convert 12V to the correct voltage to charge the phone.
What I did was went to Radio Shack, bought a female cigarette lighter receptacle, hard wired THAT under the dash, and plugged the cigarette lighter plug from the dock into that. Works great.

I ordered mine in early Jan and just got conformation from them that it is shipping Monday. I got the hardwired version - I think the hardwired charger is better than the cig lighter version (2 amp vs. ?)
They are spendy but well worth it.

They have that listed as a separate clip. Just use the selector on the main page of their website.
Can someone who gets this test it out with a TPU case?
I ordered the Verizon Galaxy Nexus mount a while ago and just got it yesterday. It fits great, with both the normal and extended battery.

What is the AC mode you are speaking of?
I don't recall the exact part number, but its the oem HTC kit I got for my One S prior to trading it in. Nothing fancy, but high quality and power, and the S3 doesn't seem to be picky.

How do you stop the deck from trying to index the whole phone? That is the problem I've had when trying that in the past. Is their a setting somewhere, or a cable mod that allows charging but no data?
I use the I-GO, bought it at Radio Shack in I think 2004, been able to charge any phone I've had since then all you have to do is buy the little adapter for each phone, just got one for my GSII for 7 bucks after changing from an IPhone.

Some cheapo usb adapters do not charge at full power. They charge as if they are plugged into a computer (500ma)
It is because the factory forgets to short the datapins.

I use the motorola charger. I had heard good things so I bought one and it seems to work just fine.

When I plug my phone in its charge only. Only when I go to "USB mode" dose it index the phone.

I did a lot of research and came up with the following. Been using it for a week now and it charges fast. I did short out the two center usb pins. This is a true 3.1 amp charger. It does not split the power to charge two devices like most 2 amp chargers do. One plug is 1 amp and the other is 2.1 amp.

I looked all over, but i could not find the original Mcs-04wr (1.8a) and original premium usb cable (thick grade cable) that came with the At&t LG-E980. I could always buy an anker charger or a verizon thick grade 2.1a rapid charger. Although the cable that came with this phone is the best i have seen so far, as its premium thick grade, and it of course fits the phone perfectly and tight. Unlike the premium thick grade monoprice usb cables that even know the quality appears to be good, the connection to the Lg Optiumus Pro G loosens quickly sometimes in just matter of days making your charge go on and off.
Anybody know where to get the original cord and cable? Or any ideas?

hi.
I saw that one also at ebay. That's not like the premium thick grade usb cable that comes with the At&t-E980 is it? Cause that cable is thicker than any Usb cable I have ever seen included with a new smartphone.

I am using this one with my car charger, is nice and thick and handles the full speed charging very nicely.

Looks like one of the thinner thickness grade cables. I had one left over from an old Samsung charger. It seemed to work. I am looking for either the original cable or one that fits well of the same grade.
Right now i settled on the OEM-Samsung-ETA-U90JWE-White-2-0-Charger-For-Samsung-Galaxy-S4. It has a thicker premium grade usb cable. Not sure if they upgraded the size even further for the Gs4. This is also the original charger that came with the white At&t Note 2. i will see when i get it:

I am very happy with the Galaxy S4 / Note 2 chargers + usb cables that I previously referenced. They are the most highest quality 2.0a compliant I could find except the Verizon Rapid Chargers. They charge my Lg Optimus Pro G and my Astro 3 2nd Generation 12000 external battery at full speed. The chargers/cables also appear to be authentic with code tags, Samsung label on the usb cable bags, and a verizon tag on the usb cables.
