Mini USB to Micro USB Adapter

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini USB to Micro USB adapter for my car charger? I don't want to have to buy another car charger.

i bought a few of these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N8JJ04/ref=oss_product
they're pretty great
i chose them over a smaller rigid converter, because these are less likely to break your usb connectors

Check Monoprice.com

I went looking for low-cost adapters while waiting for my phone to ship, and there just didn't seem to be any that were cost-effective.
I wound up buying a brand new car charger for $6 on amazon and a handful of new USB to micro USB cables for less than $2 each on monoprice.
I can't see the economy in spending $5 to make my $4 mini-usb charger compatible with my phone, when a new charger is just $5 anyway. I really hope that monoprice starts selling some ridiculously cheap adapters in the near future.

Thank you very much!
Exactly what I was looking for. Now I need to come up with $25 worth of stuff to get the free shipping.

you can also get them at radio shack or bestbuy.. except at best by you have to buy it with a short cable as well cause that the only way they sell it, at radio shack you can by it by itself

I called Radio Shack, $12.95, ouch and no thank you. I can buy a whole charger for that price at WalMart.
Petronic's point is well taken. Gonna follow the same route too.
Thank you for all of the replies!

China to the rescue:

These deal seem to be to good to be true. Anyone order from them before?

dealextreme.com is real popular in the GPS hacking world. I have never had any issues. Google them and I think you will find they are well used and received.

Dealextreme got some great price. But shipping take about a few week because of international shipping from china. And customer service is bad. I purchase many thing there. For the price you will pay for a item there is a you how you say, "you get what you pay". Ebay us buyer is the best choice for faster shipping and little pricer item for HTC Evo.

I got a few and they are great. Saved me from tossing out my old cables.

i assume that converting the mini usb to micro usb adapters will work with all the tilt 2 chargers i have. i have a car charger and 3 wall chargers and it would be nice if all i need to to buy a handful of these adapters instead of buying all new chargers...never can enough chargers i say.

I picked a couple adapters. I wanted to use one on a charger and one on a data cable. But when I plug them in, the phone thinks it has been docked and I can't use it as a data cable. Will the one linked above work on a data cable?

http://www.meritline.com/mini-usb-micro-adapter---p-47016.aspx $2.09 shipped.

dealextreme.com is legit. I ordered from there two times.
If you want to have some real fun order there cell phone signal blocker. It works awesome! There is nothing more fun that being in a car with someone talking on their cell phone and a second later they are having their call dropped. F'n hillarious!

It is Micro HDMI to HDMI.

I found the cheapest to be a 1 footer for 11$ with free shipping from Brooklyn on ebay. Also, if you use Bing cash back, you can get 8% off (88 cents ). I would post links, but i cant.

I just searched for Micro HDMI on ebay and came up with plenty of options for $10 or less.

monoprice.com - they have high quality cables for the cheapest prices

just bought one off ebay
6.90 along with free shipping here to hawaii.. why can china ship here for free, but u.s. charges 12 bucks?

Rule # 1 - Monoprice should always be the first place you look
Rule # 2 - Refer to rule #1
Rule # 3 - Next try BlueJeansCable

I couldn't believe this but, I was at a verizon store yesterday asking about the hdmi cables and another customer overheard me. He pulled me aside and told me that you can get at lowes in the satellite dish dept. He said you could get a 12 foot cord for half of what verizon charges. I'm going to head over there shortly to find out if it's true.
Update... If lowes has them I didnt see them. they had regular hdmi cables but nothing for micro usb. I think the guy misunderstood what I was looking for.

Buying non-oem from china means it'll work for a month then it breaks. Long run you're gonna spend a lot more. Avoid eBay spend a few bucks more and get something reliable.

I got my hdmi cable (15 ft) and a new usb cause the box one is too short (6 ft) for only 15 bucks from monoprice.com with next day shipping.

i and my friends have used monoprice for all our cables/cords for years, never a problem

I use them all the time.

For us lucky enough to be near California we get the best of both worlds. I get over nite express shipping for like $5 or so. This is probably faster then me getting around to going to a store.

I also use monoprice all the time. I love it. Cables and other stuff are so cheap and great customer service too.

I use them all the time too, no complaints at all here, only compliments! I buy ALL my cables (HDMI, audio, Cat6, power strips, etc) from them! Bought a 50' HDMI cable and it transfers full 1080p just as good as the others and it was only ~$20...

yes! monoprice is the best! i ordered a 10ft usb cable for my e4gt it was like $5 with shipping. great prices! i have ordered from them a few times without no problems

one thing I would recommend, don't just buy one or two cables at a time. Your shipping would cost more than the cables itself. The over night shipping (less than 10lbs) is only about $4 (to CA). Still not a bad deal considering the prices at brick and mortar places. When I want to order, I always call up some friends who need cables and we do a group buy. Or just, buy a bunch of extras for your travel luggage, laptop bag, cable in your car, ect. You can never have enough cables... lol.
Side note: I've been shopping at monoprice for years. I also have their graphic tablets and dual monitor arm clamps. For the price, I was surprised with the quality.

Monoprice is the way to go.. I recently took delivery of 11+ pounds of A/V, USB & MHL cabling and some crazy adapters for about 100 bucks. Some of the audio cables look like garden hoses :0. Same shipment would have been near a grand from Worst Buy.
Their stuff comes from China, but so does everything else.. No probs at all.

I can vouch for this place. I've been purchasing my HDMI cables, TV wall mounts and such from here for the last 2-3yrs. About 45min drive away from me, but overnight shipping is cheaper than gas, so I usually go with that.
I have also bought the MHL adapter from here, works great!

Working 6FT micro usb charging cables

Does anyone know where I can get properly working 6ft micro usb cables that actually charge the phone?
I bought one off ebay and it was completly junk, my phone would drain faster than it would charge.
Something under $10 would be ideal.
Thanks

Amazon, purchase the mediabridge brand. About 6 bucks if I remember right.

Might also consider MonoPrice.com for your cables. They are cheap and supposed to be as reliable as any big brand.
Personally, I get the Amazon Basic cables, but so far I've only needed a maximum 3' cable.

Kindle charger
I use a 6ft white kindle charger and it works as well as OEM. If I recall correctly, it was only ~$10, I purchased it on Ebay.

@Amazon bought Samsung branded ones for $2.50 a pop. I've been buying and using these for years and have not had an issue yet.

I'd recommend Mediabridge. Here and here.

I bought a 3m, 9ft usb cable off ebay and works fine.

AmazonBasics USB Cable 2.0 A-Male to B-Micro 6 Feet / 1.8 m
Been using it for a month now. Charges the phone perfectly

I have bought many cables from digitalkynectonline on Ebay. The cables have held up very good. I have bought 6ft and 10ft cables and they are reasonably priced. The ends are molded unlike some of the cheap cables you get on ebay.The cord is heavier than than alot to and seems to take alot of abuse.

Try out PortaPow
I got this for my road trip and found it extremely effective in providing AC power when a normal cable (the one that came with my HTC) did USB charging.
This allowed me to charge while streaming music and navigation and kept the phone fully charged my whole road trip. It works in any computer or USB port to allow AC charging for your phone

I bought a few of those and they started having bad connections after a few weeks. The premium ones have a much better connector and seem more durable

Another vote for Mediabridge. Very inexpensive, very well constructed, and they stand by their products. Had one go bad and they replaced it very quickly. Great people to deal with.

Monoprice.com $10 off $30 deal until 3/7/2014

I figured I would share this here. Monoprice.com has a $10 off $30 coupon when you enter TAXACT10. I believe it's for new accounts only, but give it a shot anyway if you're a regular.
I ordered the 1 Port 2.1A Car Charger

I've heard good things here at xda and elsewhere about the Premium cables as they allow your device to fully draw as much as it can with higher amp output chargers/adapters. I have a couple of good micro USB cables that work really well for both charge/data, and some crappy ones where despite having good 2A adapters, only pull 500mA on a good day... This way I can make sure my Nexus 5 and my Qi chargers are utilizing the most they can.
I'm not a skilled modder, so I don't want to short any cables, but this makes things nice and cheap!
10 Cables and the car charger came to $27.75 shipped to Polar Bear land with small package Canada post shipping.
