I've been looking to get some replacement USB charging cables for my s3.
I've gone through probably 5 or 6 cables already. They always either break at the connector or they fit so loosely into the phone that they slip out so easily.
I've also noticed that they tend to charge the phone a lot slower than the OEM charger that comes with the phone.
Anyone had any good luck with finding a decent charging cable that isn't too pricey?
Thanks.

I ordered one on amazon, authentic samsung but not same as the original that comes in the box of the gs3. It was like $3.50 or so shipped.

My absolute favorite and longest lasting cable has been a Mediabridge one from Amazon. While it's a tad pricey at $6 to $7 it's definitely worth it for the quality, reliability, and length. I recommended it to a few family members and they all agree it's awesome. The reviews on Amazon agree too. Here's the link:

I just ordered my TB, I want to know what accessories I should buy to make it the best phone on the market.
charger...
other than that...i dont use anything they gave me. not the car charger, car mount, screen protectors, and now not even the double case..
i recommend a tpu material case (jelly-like yet somewhat hard plastic material, NOT silicone which attracts lint and sticks to things) for $10 or less from amazon/ebay and a cheap screen protector from the same sources.

HTC Extended Battery
If anyone hunting around ebay sees the good stuff if you could throw up some links? I just bought 3 1500mAh batteries for 12.00 including shipping, so even if they dont work Ill have some nice paperweights. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=200593732607&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Has anyone got anything from that company or have any dealing with close batteries
secondary charger, screen protector
Car charger.. the key is to charge it everywhere until they can optimize battery life

No, Idea after I got my eris I bought the official verizon and like 2 weeks later it just stopped charging, since then I only buy the super cheap ones and I can't really blame them on braking

Agreed 100%. They should've sold it with the extended battery already on it for $299.99 in my opinion, but I'm sure that would have made some people think twice about buying it to begin with.
I always break my car chargers too, so I bought a little car usb charger and plug into that, havent had a problem since and I can charge anything now.

Yeah I have a little USB car charger that lets me use my own USB cable. Great since I can swap between my Micro-B cable (for the TB) and another cable such as say the Zune cable.

got my laptop battery from anker via amazon. saved about £100
dont know about their phone batteries but as a company on a whole i recommend their service. the laptop battery is better than my original dell, charges faster and lasts longer, hope that helps you get an idea of them as a whole. i should imagine they'd have the same type of quality throughout their range of products

Have you received it? Can you post review of it?
Very curious, submit your review please!
My experience with Anker is not the pleasant one.. but i might reconsider and give them a second chance.

Yea I received it. So far so good no complaints. Its a life saver when I'm out n about for work and the phones about to die. Takes a while to recharge the Anker but would expect it for such a big battery. I would recommend this to others that r looking for a portable charger.

Is there anything similar to http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3/sgp-portable-mobile-battery-kuel-f60q-series.html
It is basically like a brick that you can plug in your usb and chrages your phone from the 6000mAh battery inside of the brick.
Was wondering if there is anything similar to this but a much cheaper price?
There any loads of options available. Check around Google (not trying to be a smart one), just too many to list)

I bought this 5200mAh one when Amazon had that twofer with the 7100mAh one for $55. Sleek, smaller than a car garage door opener and has a laser pointer and flashlight built in too. Even now $34 is a pretty good price. Can't post links yet so search Amazon for: New Trent iTorch IMP52D 5200mAh External Battery Charger. I've had it for almost a week now and it's really handy to carry around.
I just bought the Trent iCarrier and got the iMirror for free as part of a promo on Amazon.

I have a case that charges my phone when I'm out and about, I just sold my Galaxy S3 so I was thinking of selling the case, out of curiousity I searched eBay to find the price they're sold for as I paid $40 for mine.
Turns out you can get them for as low as $10, Link or as high as $140 for the exact same item! That's a a 1,400% markup!!! Link
What other outrageous ripoffs have you seen that are interesting and other accessory shoppers should be aware of?

Yeah it's amazing. Only supports 500mA (not 1,000 like the phone) so you need to use a different wall to USB plug, or charge with your PC or you will kill it. It can charge your phone from around 50% to 100% with 1 charge, which is amazing because the phone itself has almost 2 days battery. With this case, 2-3 days.

Its nice to be nexus branded but still pricey in my opinion. I bought a 2 pack OEM brand new Blackberry playbook 1.8a wall chargers for 4.99 on ebay a while ago. It was an amazing deal and the chargers work great and charge my phone a bit faster.
Just found out they have the daily deal again on ebay for 4.99! Great deal and alternative to the nexus one's if anyone is interested

I bought 6 of these a while back and it's one of the best purchases I've made for my phone. That micro USB is pretty much universal already so it is kind of future proof. I usually get a few chargers at once because they break but I'm still on my same one since December.

I was going to buy this charger, but i ended up buying the Nexus Wireless Charger because, afaik, it comes with exactly the same micro-usb Nexus charger + cable....
Is like 15€ for the microUSB charger and 25€ more for the wireless charging square......
I know that 15€ for this charger is a lot of money if you compare it with other chargers......but compared to Apple's officials accessories (charger in this case) imo is cheap and it's also standard (micro usb).
However...I admit, it's more fanaticism (to Nexus brand) than anything else.
Thanks for the heads up, just bought a spare as well as a wireless charger - it's about time!
Interesting. If anyone has any feedback, I'm eager to listen to what you have to say.
