I was looking into this type of charger does anybody use one?
I was also wondering if it would work with a quicksand case ?

Yup, I've got that one in black. Works just fine with my Quicksand cases. Just to let you know, it only ships with the charger, no micro USB cable, and no power adapter. Most included USB cables that ship with Qi chargers are crap anyway. So I suggest if you get a Qi charger with a cable, that you replace it with a better one anyway.
I'll have a review up with a comparison between several of my Qi chargers some time next week.

Is it worth the price ? I was going to use the stock USB cord anyways

In terms of performance it's good. Works just like any other 1A output Qi charger I've got. As long as a Qi charger receives sufficient input power (good AC adapter, good cable) and has 1A output, all Qi chargers basically perform relatively the same.
Price wise, you can't really get much lower than that. The one you posted, I got in black for $12.00 including shipping, but you can't really get it at that price anymore. Cost wise though, that's still a pretty good deal.
It is one of the larger Qi chargers I've got though. So keep that in mind. I use this one by my bed as it's easier to make sure I've placed the phone centred on a larger pad when I'm half asleep.
Here's a size comparison with the phone on it.
Thank you for all the input. Do you think the stock USB cord will be sufficient?

Yeah, the stock cord is a great cable. I use that USB cable with this charger as well. It's connected to a 2A AC adapter, into a powerbar by my bed.

But i need an EU exit which is 2 round pins, is it possible to buy it somewhere ? i need the Samsung official one. I do have different adapters but its not the same like the real one, most of them don't fit. Moreover i use a EzoPower travel international wall charger but the speed of charging is less then half of the real charger.
Thx!

I use all sorts of third party chargers and they pretty much all work, What you need to look for is the rated amperage. the GN needs a 1 amp charger, most chargers out there for cell phones are rated at 750 mA or 500 mA.
You should also check to make sure the phone is in "AC Charge" mode, as this will indicate that it's trying to draw the full power from the wall charger, if it's set as "USB Charge" it will only draw 500mA regardless of what it's connected to. You can cheat this by shorting the two data pins, this will force the phone into AC mode.
something like this would do the job, at 2 amps, it's overkill, but I assure you, your phone will charge *Very* fast.

The trick, look for chargers designed for the Ipad that have a USB port, then use your own wire.
The EU model ETA0U80E,
http://www.expansys-usa.com/samsung...r-for-galaxy-note-5-3-eu-micro-usb-1a-224814/
it's thesame EU nexus come in box.
try also ETA0U10E, same, but without USB cable.
I'm looking to buy one for when i'm traveling to charge my phone/tablet and looking for suggestions on brands/models/etc. Probably don't really want to spend much more than ~$50 on one. Only requirements are that it isn't too big and bulky to not fit well in a laptop travel case. And the more mAh the better obviously. Thanks.

There are a lot of brands out there. Morphie seems to be one of people's top picks - probably because it looks super nice and marketed well. I personally have never own one and think it's a bit on the pricey side. I have a Ravpower one with 10,400 mah which was mentioned in this thread if you wanna take a look. Works great. Not heavy at all which was surprising. And can charge my nexus 7 about 2 times before i need to charge again. Think Ravpower have smaller ones too, but 10,400 might be their largest capacity charger.
These portable power chargers seems to be everywhere now. You can probably find some in stores too. Think I saw a low mAh one at Lowes the other day by either Duracell or Energizer, but these might not be best for heavy charging.
I just ordered 2 antec powerup 3000's apparently they have Panasonic batteries. I will report back! :beer:

It's originally $99 but they are having a sale through Feb. 18th

It comes in 3 different colors: Pink, Blue and Black
Yep, it's the same iSmooth known for their screen protectors At first I was very skeptical because they are listed for Apple products, both dual port chargers with 2.1A and 1A - typical for iPad and iPhone/iPod devices. While talking to Paul, the guy behind iSmooth, he mentioned about using it to charge his Note 2 without any issues.
I got both of them, and can report they work perfectly with our Note 2. I can use either 2A or 1A ports to charge GN2 while still have other port used by another device, either android or apple. So functionally it definitely works. Another thing I noticed, 2A port charges the phone pretty fast, and when I connected iPod Touch to 1A port, the charge rate seems to be relative the same which suggests they don't share load where with some other chargers both ports are forced to 1A.
The construction of both is very solid, these are not cheap plastic chargers. Wall charger actually has substantial weight which suggest quality electrical components. Both have white/black theme, works with my UAG Navigator lol!!! Wall charger has a blue light indicator while car charger has a glowing blue ring. I tried capturing everything in picture details below. One thing that makes it unique, wall charger has a release latch to remove the electric plug. Once you do that, you have symmetrical 2-pin universal plug you can find on a ton of your devices around the house, like laptop ac-adapter or printer plugs. I actually used one from my laptop ac-adapter (not included with wall charger, obviously), but still a neat idea for extension cord. if your electrical outlet far away. But in general, wall plug is very slim and should fit without obstruct any other device plugged next to it.
The only drawback, wall charger is sold out on Amazon and I have been told it will take a few months before its back in stock. Oh, also forgot to mention - both wall and car charger come with 10 year free replacement guarantee. That is insane confidence of the product quality.
Ok, so here are the pics:

Hello guys, i'm searchin for a good 2a car charger for my nexus 5... do you know one?
anyone?
Currently looking at this: 5v 2.1a XTar USB Car Adapter
However, It's still in the shipment process. Will be receiving it in a week.
I trust these guys, personally. They make amazing chargers for batteries I use on a daily basis.
Hate to do this to you, but If I don't reply back within a 2 weeks, that means it turned out perfectly.
Personally, I think it's going to be great.
The absolute best charger you could get for ANY phone is the BlackBerry charger... Powerful, cheap, durable, reliable...

The blackberry ain't a CAR charger bud.
I'd suggest the Anker car charger.

Motorola 2amp car charger is a great charger. I found it on ebay almost 2 years ago for about 6$ and it's still going strong

I'm currently using a Samsung charger, it's around $12 here in Sweden.
A two amp charger won't make a difference, Qualcomm Quick Charge units make a huge difference, however.

so is Nexus 5 a quick Charge unit?
There IS a blackberry car charger. I currently own one a d used to get near 1.6A on it. I've never gotten close to 2A even with the highly acclaimed 2A BlackBerry wall charger but the 1.6A was good enough for the n5.
Model no on mine is ACC-48181-001
I see some of these online... but when used with 45W wall charger from Samsung, do all versions properly pass the 45W through to the phone, or does the dongle interfere?

I don't like the fact it claims it protects device against excess current. It says it supports PD fast charging though so it should be good.
Well, I bought this and tested it:
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/moshi-...e-jack-adapter-silver/6352696.p?skuId=6352696
And it appears it only allows rates of charging higher than 5W if you plug it into the phone first, then plug the charging wire into it, not the other way around. My excitement was short- lived though...
I am going to return it, because after much testing it became apparent that it cannot charge at a rate higher than ~15W, when it should have allowed ~25 (and this with trying the meter both before and after the dongle)..
