Car chargers

Does anyone know of a car charger that fits in perfectly in the cig lighter in the car. All Incar chargers I have ever bought never fit in perfectly and with the slightest amount of touch lose power until I push it in again.
I want a nice snug fit just the the cig lighter has with its own lighter thing. I absiolutely hate the give/movement these incar chargers have.
Any ideas?

Hey there, i bought an adapter and just use my usb cable that came with the phone..
Its a tight fit with just a little movement. Never looses the connection, have had no problems

Belkin Micro USB charger
I use it with this http://www.fommy.co.uk/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD2&skuno=82268. The Belkin Micro charger can be bought from much anywhere and it works very well.

car charger
I use Igo chargers, never had problem, just buy new tip when you change phone. Don't have to carry charger for every phone. They have multi charger kit, comes with home,car, &tip, & retractable cord. Love it, they fit snug, with led lite. Quig

i got one of these for 3 bucks on sale. and for the price it friggin rules!!!

I use a dual USB car charger from Griffin Technology known as the powerjolt.

No other car charger fits my cigarette lighter slot as well. I think this is quite tight but can still pop out. My high tech solution is to stick a bit of card in there with the cahrger. It works perfectly and doesn't need to be wedged in very far to create a rock solid connection.

Works well, snug fit too.

The leo ´s plastic parts are covered by some kinda smooth coating. I wonder if it takes damage if you use car holders (especially the brodit one - I think I might buy this one). What do you guys say? Has anyone experiences with this?

is 500mA enough to charge the phone + use navigation or play music?

I bought this one at walmart on our way out of town one day to run my HD2 and my daughters iPhone 3G...My HD2 always overheats when I use it (the LED flashes orange and green after about 15-20 minutes) Even if I dont have anything else plugged into it.
Mine may be an isolated issue (though I dont see how)...but I dont know if I would recommend this...as overheating the battery often cannot be good in the long run.

Does this sit flush on the top of the lighter jack?...that would be the perfect solution so I could unplug the cable but leave the adapter in and still be able to close the ashtray (change drawer) lid.
...Have you had any power or overheating issues?...(see my post above)
It looks like the price in your link has gone up to 12.99...but a quick google search gave me a price of 5.99+free shipping

Kidigi Portrait Desk Dock *Review*

Hello everyone, I recently received a Kidigi desk dock for my Nexus 7 and decided to write a review. Here are my thoughts on this dock along with some pictures.
Shipped from China, here's the packaging (exciting, huh?)

The box:
Whats in the box? The dock and a usb cable (no wall plug)
Front of the dock and cable
Back of the dock
Bottom of the dock
USB connector inside of the dock with the spacer in place, for using your Nexus 7 without a case (naked).
Spacer removed, to use the dock with a slim case, such as a TPU case.
Closer shot of the dock with the spacer out. The USB connector sticks up and this causes a slight issue that I will cover later.
Spacer in, front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case. Fits perfectly and is level.
Spacer in, side shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case.
Close up shot of dock with spacer removed. Since the USB connector is raised (to make space for the spacer), when you use the dock like this with a TPU case on, it may tilt slight to the left or right.
Front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock with a Nillkin TPU case on. It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the Nexus 7 is tilted slightly to the right
I had the same problem with an Ibolt car dock for my HTX One X (slight tilt to one side) but that car dock came with a small piece of sticky foam to make up for this space. I figured that was the best fix for this dock, so I put two small strips of thin foam (sticky on one side) on the sides of the USB connector, so that when the Nexus 7 is in the dock with a case on it sits level. This was a simple fix that works. Kidigi might want to consider including two small pieces of sticky-back foam for this purpose like Ibolt does.
All in all I am very happy with this dock. If you prefer your Nexus 7 to display on your desk in portrait mode, like me, then I think you will appreciate this dock. I would recommend that Kidigi include some sticky back foam and possibly a wall charger, but I understand that anything additional would bump of the price, obviously. Please feel free to ask me any other questions or request any other pictures about this dock.
You can find Kidigi authorized sellers here:

Thanks for the review. How much did you pay for it?
I liked their dock for the gnex, unfortunately they are not in the us, so it is not compatible with the vzw model.

Yes, it only comes with a USB cable. I purchased from 4u-mobi.com. $32.99 shipped to the US.
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/...=nexus+7&filter_category_id=79&product_id=156
I am in Pennsylvania, as you can see under my name on the left.
Lastly, I hope that you understand that the world does not revolve around us Americans, even if we might think it does. Just because that link does not list the United States hardly makes it useless since there are many members here from other countries that might find the link useful. Thanks for reading the review, though.
BTW, If you had chosen "Other country" on that link, you would see that their worldwide reseller is 4u-mobi.com.

In case anyone is interested in one of these, I listed my spare one for sale on eBay. Just do a search for Kidigi Nexus 7.

[Q] magnetic charge cable

Aloha comunity,
i bought a magnetic charger cable from ebay but it does not snap correctly in place and it's a pain in the *** to connect it correctly.
since i use a case I cannot use the docking station.
Is there any cable you can recommend?
Thanks and greetings

I bought four different cheap ones from ebay. Four different styles... 3 cables and 1 usb micro adapter.
They are all complete garbage. One of them is usable as long as I don't touch or bump the phone at all while it's connected.
I've heard good things about the magnector cable but they are way more expensive. I'll stick with micro usb and the flap for the time being.

magnector is 15€ which is okay. it's a pitty that sony doesn't send one with the phone :/
charging via the usb-connector isn't an long-term option for me since i need to diasemble the case every time and heard that the flap may break or become leaky.
any other suggestions? otherwise i will buy a magnector tomorrow.
thanks and greetings

Magnector x2 is where it's at. It fits my new Devilcase with minimal plastic cutting.

Agree... Magnector x2 is worth the price. I have one since day one with my Z3c.
You can't be disappointed with it...
[emoji6]

Magnector x2 is a premium quality magnet charger but expensive.... 15€ .... and COMPATIBLE only with 3-4 covers
I SUGGEST:
2 of this 15€ ......and work well in EVERY COVER

Magnector X2 + cruizerlite case = win

@adivorandroid
You should be able to get those on ebay for less than $5 a pop.

NOT FOR THE SAME QUALITY.... i have 12 cases from ebay/amazon/other store.... not same quality!

Magnector for the win (X2 adapter or cable)
I have tried various adapters and cables and BY FAR the best ones are these:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Q3GK3YI
The X2 adapter is fantastic if you want to carry it with you or plug it into existing microUSB cables, but their cable (in the same listing) is just as great, and a nice, flexible cable. I'm using the Magnector X cable in the car since that's easier to snap on and keep my phone in place. Unlike most magnetic connectors, these have a lil curve that fits perfectly with the side of the phone, preventing it from sliding off as easily, and the magnets are the strongest I've encountered so far.

Hmmm, maybe. All I can say is that one of the four ebay cables I bought terminates in a connector that looks identical to the one in your image. I mean completely identical. It's also the best out of the four I bought and the only one that I actually find usable. The connection is still pretty loose though.
I'll try to find the link to the auction... [edit] here it is

100% neodymium magnet....the same to the others more blasonate connectors, at the end same force.
The problem is the more thickness of the connector.... but you can use on 100% of cases on web....same strong force but a little bit instable....I use my mag connection at home near my bed, I don't need brutal force for stay in charge...without remove my covers :good:

USB C Dust Plug/Cap/Cover

I've been surfing Amazon, Ebay, Port-Plugs and l-com for a USB Type C Dust Cover/Plug/Cap but have been unsuccessful in finding one. I feel like the charging port collects the most dust/lint and sometimes over time can impact charger connectivity. I was wondering if anyone has found a cover or plug solution for the USB C port when it's not in use. I feel these plugs have the ability to prolong the life of the port. Something flush mounted when inserted would be great. I found a few guys who modified Lightning Cable Female Plugs to fit but they were slightly loose when inserted. Any information or guidance is appreciated.

I have been looking as well. I think it may be a waiting game. I did see something on eBay meant for a laptop, but likely too bulky for a phone.

The unicorn beetle case by supcase has dust covers for the charger and headphone ports if you don't mind keeping your phone in a case.

I am hoping Znaps will really start shipping in January. The magnetic plug will act as a permanent plug and it will be a lot easier to attach the magnetic charging cable. And the plug looks narrow enough that it should work with a typical case.
Only downside is the cost of getting new adapters for all the charger cables. $12 each for microUSB cable adapters. I'd buy one type C adapter plug for the phone but buy the microUSB cable adapters and use them with the numerous cables I have currently.

Here is what found on eBay. I think a bit large of a flange for a phone, but I am judging from pics.

I actually got a free demo sample of USB Micro Plugs from David over at PortPlugs.com and modified them to fit. I can't say enough about how nice they were about working with me to see if they had any universal plugs that would work. They are a great company.
These are the ones I modified to fit.

David assured me that they are working with a 3D printing company to get a USB Type C mold ready. I will get getting some demos of the USB C Plugs soon. I'll keep everyone posted.

Review of the CHOETECH Essentials Pack

Hey everyone. I wanted to give a quick review of 3 items that came in a package to me this week from CHOETECH.

- 3Pack USB C to USB 3.0 Nylon Braid cable(1M*2+2M):
- 6 ports QC 3.0 charging station
- Stand fast wireless charger​
*** Just as an FYI. I tested all of these with my S8+. I ordered my Note 8, but like everyone else... Its on the way.
We can start with the Nylon Cable. Quality of it is great. Its actually braided and does work with fast charging. I have noticed there are a few aftermarket USB-C cords that do not support this regardless of the power brick used. I tried this with my Samsung power brick and the CHOETECH Desktop charger.
What I really liked is that this is a thick cord. Everything on this actually feels like quality.
On to the Charging Station... This one makes me happy. At work, my desk has all of my cables hidden for my multiple monitors, docking station and phone line. I do have two desktop plugs but I use one for my extra laptop and the other has to be shared for my 2 tablets and 2 phones. I brought the charging station to work and it did not disappoint.
There are 2 designated ports that allow for 3.0 charging. I have one tablet and one phone that use that. When plugged in at the same time, both said fast charging enabled. Here are the specs on this one.
Even though for some, this may not be a big deal, I actually like the stand. I don't have a place to hide this 6 USB brick, so it still looked presentable. Best part, this came with a USB-C cord. VERY cool.
Finally the Wireless Stand. I didn't get to play with this one as much as I wanted to but it was awesome. I had it on my charger for less that 20 min and had 30% juice from 15% up to 45%.
Even though I was fortunate enough to receive these from CHOETECH, I will always give my honest review on these. You're definitely getting your money's worth on these three items. Now if my Note 8 can arrive, I will update my photos with that phone.

They sure are.

Will these products be available worldwide? Sick of finding good products on Amazon only to discover that they don't ship to Australia. This happens with 60-70% of the stuff on Amazon.
