I went onto the samsung website (canadian version) and checked some of the prices for note2 accessories and I was blown away how expensive they are. You'd think samsung would realize if they priced their accessories at a reasonable more people would purchase them.
for example $39.99 for their Note2 TPU cover. $49 for their MHL adapter. Before ebay or online shopping I could see companies charging these outrages prices but with ebay and the like who would buy some of this stuff from samsung when you can get less expensive versions?
Stuff up here is definitely more expensive than the states.
I know its not much of a discount but shopandroid gets sales every now and then.

And if u dont mind waiting then amazon.com with amazon prime shipping is another alternative. Just be wary of international shipping and duties cost.

Impulse buying when the phone is originally bought. Wouldn't take much of a salesman to sell a 50 dollar case to protect a 600 investment. Or all the neat add ons "to get the most" out of your brand new phone.

This. I'm such a sucker for it.
My thought process: "Well, what's the difference between spending $200 or $300 on a phone when I'm paying thousands for the service? Might as well get the best one. And why did I buy a phone with removable battery and storage if I'm not going to buy a spare battery and spare battery charger, and a 64 gig microSD? Wow... I've got a lot invested in this thing. Better buy a case for every day use, and a tank of a case for when I go out. What's this... an app that I will use every day of my life for only $5? That's one drink out at the bars, I can swing that. An app for $0.99??? Might as well be free. Oh, and can't forget the car dock and charger, that's an essential."

You forgot to mention screen protector and also new pair of jeans with bigger pockets and pouches to protect the case thats on your phone...and if thats not enough might aswell get a crib for it by the bed side. And just to be sure and on the safe side avoid having kids for aslong as possible just incase that requires you to divert your attention from your note 2....

You are right to tell people to be wary of the price, Especially in the case Custom Duties i.e. vat to added [collected at this end by PO], plus the minimal £8 Post Office Charge.

Samsung is expensive because they guarantee the products will fit and work 100% with the phone plus every manufacturer always charges more for their respective products. Example: htc charged around $40 for their mhl adapter and $50 or more for their tv dock. It's just a matter of finding items cheaper and hoping that if you buy generic it won't damage your phone and fits correctly. There are plenty of reputable companies that make accessories you can count on. Like otterbox,seidio,spigen, and many others.

Lol what you said about "what's the difference between spending $200 or $300 on a phone when I'm paying thousands for the service" is so true for me. I have to always buy the best phones out. Unless the phone was alooooooot cheaper, as in free, I would never choose a S2/N1 over S3/N2.
I hear you. Yet I can't seem to stop shopping for an "even better case". I think I will draw a line at Sweet armor bumper though. Just a frame, not even total back protection and 70 USD?

So you think a $50 MHL cable is fine when it probably cost them 50 cents (maybe a dollar) to make in china. I'm all for a company making money/profit but that's kind of ridiculous.
For cases, I always hit up ebay. For the same price as a retail case, you could buy a dozen and try them all out!
For cables, chargers and batteries, however, I've been very hesitant to get them "cheap" because of the risk of damaging my device. After reading an article about various chargers and usb cables which showed that the third party/counterfeit brands have no consistency to them, I've stayed with trusted oem brands.

Wait until you see the "Australia" price, then you will know what truly outrage is.
Why are genuine apple accessories?
Why do dealerships sell spark plugs for 5 times the price of an auto store?
It's genuine oem, and they are all overpriced.

Sellers tend to have good rating for the quality of their service, not necessarily for the quality of their products.
$13 isn't bad though.. you should have maybe at least 6500mah combined from those three batteries.

I have a suspicion some of the sellers on Amazon get their shady rating count as well. It takes a second to create merchant account on Amazon and list anything already sold in there under the original manufacturer listing. Since I talk to a lot of accessories companies, a number of them complain about people selling fake ones under the same listing (very common with Spigen, UAG, Samsung batteries/headphones/chargers, and others). So you have to be very careful who is the actual seller of the product when you click to buy it. I notice some sell fake stuff, it's clearly listed as seller from China, and they got 100k feedback rating?!?
Personally, I try to look for those who sell with Prime option since it's covered by Amazon and often an OEM part they have in their warehouse.

Ebay can be pretty good if you know how to check feedback. Almost everything I buy is from there (laptop, phone, fresh fruits).
Yes let us know how good they are. I have a $6 glass screen protector coming in a few weeks that I'll post pictures too of so people can compare to the $30 brand name ones. I love comparing generic chinese sold products to the brand name ones. In many cases they are very similar expect one has a fancy badge and price tag
I also got a micro USB to HDMI adapter last night for my Note 2, and one of those 3 in 1 lens kits for it. The lens kit was only $7 with free shipping. I watched several Youtube vids regarding it, and for that price you can recod some pretty amazing footage.
I'll also update you all on those as I get them. =-}

With wall charger you get ~1600mA which charges device in about 2.5hrs . The output of the one u bought is 1/4th (400 max) of the external charger so it would take 4x times longer than it would have taken with the wall charger(10 hours ) .
i dont know much about electrical stuff . I hope am wrong cuz i have already bought a spare battery and thinking of buying the samsung external charger but 50$ is way too much. Im getting it at 39.9$ but stilll too much
Do keep us updated.

Well, there are three batteries so I won't need them to charge in a hurry.

Bought something similar once, the charger works fine. But the batteries expanded to nearly twice there normal thickness in the center so obviously they weren't usable any more
I just bought this thing off Ebay and didn't do my homework because some people have bought other wireless chargers that were cheap like this one. I'm going to go to Best Buy and will pick up the original one to compare to the one that is coming. The one off ebay is $39.99 while the one's on BB is $69.99. Sounds too good to be true. I already contacted the seller and told them that I WILL KNOW if it's fake. I'll post my findings here so no one gets screwed like probably I did. I'm going to return it (almost certain).
Sounds too good to be true, so.....

I saw a video on YouTube where someone waswas explaining tdifferences between a fake wireless charger and an original wireless charger. There were somesome subtle differences and you could only tell by having the original and fake one side by side. I think that someone mentioned that the fake one would only do a "wireless charging", while the original one would say "fast charging", when you would put the phone (S7 edge) on the charger. Also there are power bricks that are fake too. Honestly, I would only buy these charges from BB and maybe B&H. Not even AMZN, because there have been fake ones in there too. I'll pick up the original one probablyprobably today from BB. The one from Ebay is coming tomorrow, but I'm not holding my breath.
OK, so I just picked up the original wireless charger pad for $75 at the local BB. Now I have to wait for the one coming from eBay. I also bought a car charger that is supposed to be from Samsung too, but BB doesn't carry that one. I'm also weary about the car charger. It sucks to have to deal with this, but it is what it is.
Update: just tested the car charger bought from Ebay (hopefully original Samsung charger). My phone does say "fast charging", so I'm thinking that is a good sign.
I've just recently taken delivery of four of these (black) sold and shipped by Amazon.com LLC for $36.34 a piece.
They are quite genuine. Not sure why anyone would want to risk eBay when those are available.

Some of the stuff I buy from eBay ends up coming from Amazon. But anyways, after carefully looking at the one that came from BB and the one that came from Ebay, the Ebay one seems original, but it almost looks used (the BB one looks more glossy, if that makes sense). Also the chargers look slightly different. The Ebay one has a V in the back, while the BB one has a VI. Also, the packaging is different too, so I'll probably be returning both and buying one from AMZN like it was mentioned above. Even at AMZN you have to be careful because some sellers do slip fake chargers in there too. So bottom line, don't get this from Ebay.

Precisely why I referenced Amazon.com LLC as the seller. Maybe others have had an experience dissimilar to mine, but I've never received a fake product from them - and even if it were to happen, has anyone ever had them deny a legitimate return?
With Red Weasel Sales (TM) you take your chances. Maybe you'll win, maybe you'll get burned.

How was it? charge fast as original?
I just got the shipping notice that my free Samsung wireless charger was delivered today. Cannot wait to try it out as I have seen a ton of good stuff written about it. Will let you all know what I think.
Got my Samsung Wireless charger set up yesterday and it works amazing. I love being able to switch from a flat to a cradle setup and have not had a single issue with the charger finding the phone, even with the Spiegen Neo Hybrid case (which I love btw) on the phone. This is my first foray into wireless charging and I am already wondering why I waited so long.

Hey guys, Im searching for OEM chargers for the 5T.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gen...-a15e-461c-b8f4-0f92bad3a1fd&rmStoreLevelAB=0
I also searched eBay but the model number is HK0504 or something like that, and I think it should be something like this: DC0504B3GB
I can't buy from One Plus directly cause they don't ship to my country.
My guess is these are both knock-off's but if you want to be 100 certain buy it from OnePlus. You may get lucky with eBay, who knows.

That was an important piece of information you did not originally provide
I can tel you with certainty that the second link is without doubt a knock off. In the title it says "Genuine 5V 4A DASH" no where in the auction does it say OEM. The first link says "OEM" and it looks like it does not come with any packaging. Again, for 17 it is likely a knock off. The problem with these 2 as well as other listings say they are compatible. Tat does not mean they will fast charge your 5T. One of the ones I looked at said "Oppo" on the plug. Oppo may make Dash chargers but my 2 OEM do not say Oppo on them. I don't think there is any way to be sure that these are OEM Dash Fast-chargers unless someone purchased one and can attest to it fast charging the 5t.
Good luck and report back if you find one.

Edited my post
How about this one maybe? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-OE...hash=item3af9439859:m:mCtRbqQ2sBartypSMsqC4mw
This is the only one that says OEM.
Everything about it looks real except the model number for an OEM Dash Charger says Model: DC0504B5GB. This one shows model number of HK0504. I'm thinking this may be another knock off.
The real ones are priced at 34 US. I'd say anything much cheaper will not be an original. It may work fine but I doubt at that price it will be OEM.

Nice detail. I would be more than happy to pay the full price for the charger, it's just that there isn't a way for me to get it. Maybe I need to find shipment forwarding services. But those are very expensive, I hope someone knows where I can get these.

I noticed that the English charger has the same model number, but the European one has HK504 like you said.

Anyone has a EU charger and can confirm his model number?
I bought from this Ali Express Seller. Few people on a OnePlus Facebook page wrote he's legit and his products are originals.

Hey guys, Im searching for OEM chargers for the 5T.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Gen...-a15e-461c-b8f4-0f92bad3a1fd&rmStoreLevelAB=0
I also searched eBay but the model number is HK0504 or something like that, and I think it should be something like this: DC0504B3GB
I can't buy from One Plus directly cause they don't ship to my country.

It is fake as its volume is less than the OEM Charger supplied with the phone. That can never happen as the original company cannot make its charger larger than this. In other words, another company cannot make a charger of same rating in a smaller size/form factor. Support me if you think so.
OPPO uses the same charging technology. Search on ebay "oppo vooc charger" and just buy from a seller with good reviews. I've tested it and have used it myself without any issues. Hope this helps.

Haven't you seen my post? I bought this one, I was told it's an original charger.

Bought it, thanks
My original OnePlus 5T Dash charger is made by LITEON TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION with Model number: DC0504B3GB G81724003804. The QR code on the devices do not match with the version sold at AliExpress, as well as Logo of the Dash on the front side does not match. I therefore think it is a fake.
Pro-Tip: Anything VOOC supports OnePlus's DASH charging. They're more or less the same thing.
Source: Currently using 2 VOOC chargers for an OP5 and an OP5T and they charge as fast as the original.
Might be easier to get too.
