so, realized i had a mini usb charger and not a micro usb charger for my car. went to walmart. all their car chargers were 15 dollars except for 1.
it was for kyocera, but was just a micro usb.
so if you dont want to wait for a cheap one from online to ship, go to wally world, check out the kyocera chargers, and get it for 10.
Or you can buy one for $2.50 shipped on ebay.
I agree with drew on this one. I haven't found a cheaper place for a car charger other than ebay. Electronic stores tend to rip you off.
If anyone isnt comfortable with ebay, there are plent of estores that have them for cheap as well.
Yea that free $20 accessory credit from Radioshack was used on a stupid $20 car charger because they had nothing else in stock. I had no choice. It was either that or nothing!
Well, that is why I said "if you don't want to wait". I agree with the eBay thing, done it many times. But, couldn't wait given a road trip tomorrow.

I purchased my Vibrant through one of those online retailers. With the package I got a USB charger and a car charger. It did not come with a wall charger ?
I think when I am traveling, the USB charger is no good. At airports I can only get to outlets..
If I am supposed to buy a wall charger separately, could someone point me to the cheapest option (ebay, Tmobile store, etc)
Can't help you on the supposed package contents.
But to charge your phone, you need to buy a USB wall adaptor.Then you plug your usb cable into it.
EBay will get you a good price.
Also take a look at DealExtreme.

Thank you all for the clarification. I bought one which had the USB thing for $3.50 on ebay. I think that was a pretty good price with free shipping.
All xoom accessories are on clearance/sale at staples. I picked up the standard dock for $25. They also had the wall charger for $15. I don't remember the price of the other accessories.
I bought and returned the HD dock. The Staples web site claims it has three USB ports and of course it has none. So I returned it and got the standard dock instead.

I have both and use them everyday. It sounds like you got a good deal.
I use my dock and moto case daily. Thanks for posting though! Have a friend that wanted both.

I just checked at my local Staples and everything is still full price.
Check online...seems like they got them reduced already...
Cheers
I went by a local staples last night and they had the wall and car chargers for 5.50 each.
I just purchased the HD Speaker Dock and Standard Wall Charger (dog chewed the original) at Staples.com.
The total was $79.98 so I purchased (for $1.75) a $25 off $75 purchase coupon from this site:
http://www.sderclub.com/staples/
That brought the total down to $54.98. I also happened to have a $5.00 Staples Rewards coupon to bring it down to $49.98. Shipping is free this week and factoring in tax and the cost of the coupon...
Final total: $54.73
Not bad.
Local Staples has car and wall chargers for $5.50, but did not update price tags, so if you see full price or anything else, ask them to scan them for you.
That's very true about the unchanged prices. I just went to Staples and picked up a wall charger for $5.50, still marked as $15.
As ssubject ive looked everywhere and thry are all above £20
Price is not a gateway for me though I cannot get any car charger for xoom in India can anyone in India show me a way here
Does anyone know of a OEM Car Charger that actually charges a responsible amount?
I only know of four 3rd party Qi car chargers.
1. Owl charger
http://owlpad.net/
2. iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Standard Charging Car
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
3. Air Dock

4.KOOLDOCK

I personally own the Owl charger but it does charge that well. Last night I forgot to charge my phone so it was dead in the morning. On my morning commute of 30 minutes, I charged my caseless phone while it was turned off. When I got to work I turned my phone on and it showed 1% battery life. A 1% charge in 30 minutes with a phone powered off is unreasonable. If I am out all day long driving my phone will go dead while mounted on the charger only using bluetooth and pocketcasts.
The second charger is the iOttie which I have no experience with. Will it actually charge the phone a substantial amount?
I am also interested in any other Qi car chargers that do not have to be custom made.
The air dock and the iOttie are two different products.
Unfortunately, I don't have either and can't give you any feedback.
There is no OEM Qi Car charger. There is not one made by neither LG nor Google. There are however many made by 3rd parties other than the 2 you listed. On amazon alone there are about 20 that range from $25 and up. The $25 one though I am leery of, it seems like an odd set up. There are also many on Aliexpress as well. Owl Pad was the 1st one that I know of and since then others have been made. I have been keeping my eye on a good Qi Car Charger setup and was hoping iOttie wasn't going be too pricy. They are sadly one of the most expensive I know of.
I have been thinking of getting this one: http://www.amazon.com/Docooler-3-Co...id=1398445724&sr=8-19&keywords=qi+car+charger
These are some of the others available.

I'm using the official Nexus Qi charger in my car along with a Proclip car mount. Works great.
