OEM Cables? - Nexus 6 Accessories

So I recently picked up some USB cables but, I found they are a little loose. The best cable that I have used is the one that comes with the Nexus 6 and presumable their similar flagships. I'm a big fan of how tightly it plugs into both ends. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew where I could pick some up (cable only) or a similar option that makes a nice tight connection with the device and type A port because, the aukey ones I bought are a bit loose fitting on both ends.

I love these. The detents on the plug give a satisfying dull thump when I insert it into my phone, and they lock firmly. They look great too. It's a shame they'll be pretty much useless next fall when I move on to my next phone which will most certainly be USB-C.

I use Anker cables. Probably the best I've ever used.

Is There an Audio Adapter Cable That Lasts...?

My Seido Audio Adapter cable is starting to go out on me, almost made it for 2 weeks. The ends on this cable aren't 'molded', meaning the cable itself is inserted into each end, instead of being part of the piece of plastic they feed into. Day-to-day use has provided just enough tugging to loosen the connections and now the audio stutters, or goes off on one side and I have to jiggle the adapter cable to get it back.
Anyone find a higher quality version with molded ends so they don't work their way loose inside? It's not mentioned in any descriptions of others I've found, and you can't really tell from the product pictures. I've just ordered a Smartphone Experts one and am hoping for a bit more mileage, but, can't tell if the ends are molded.

New Dock

I found it on Amazon and it looks really nice
Have anyone tried this ?

I don't think it'd fit our phones well. our usb port is not centrally located on the phone, so I would think it wouldn't balance correctly and would tip.

SPHANM!!!1!
It's too bad the Atrix has its USB port on the side. It's inconvenient for docks and car mounts.
After looking at this I got an idea. Seems like what your buying is a plastic half-pipe (so to speak) with a detachable USB cable. If you can find it for cheaper buy two of them. Then glue them together really good so it looks professional. (Hot glue works best but be careful cause it gets messy sometimes.) Then take out the USB from the left one. Voila you have a long USB dock that supports the Atrix.

Need case recommendation

Looking for recommendations for a case for my gtab with built in keyboard. I think I prefer USB over bluetooth cause I am not sure of the bluetooth capabilities of some of the custom ROMs. I am currently running clems beast ROM. Thoughts anyone?
Hi there. So this is the one I own, and it is GREAT! Matter of fact, me and 4 other people in my research group all use this case with our G-tablet for our lab computers. The case is great, the keyboard works great and its USB so you can easily plug and unplug whenever you wish. The case can even fold completely around to use as a basic tablet. And the kickstand sets up the tablet at a great angle for typing
The only negatives I can tell you if you want to hear them are as follows. I'm not sure if its still a problem, but back in the day when I got my case, one of the 4 metal tabs that held the tablet in place was accidentally placed over the USB port and you had to cut a hole in it to make sure it would fit in. It wasn't a big deal and took a minute to cut a hole out, but I heard it was an accident and why we got ours so cheap and its since been fixed. The only other negative is that the keyboard is like 90% the size of a normal keyboard so you just have to get used to the smaller size.
Overall the pros of this case significantly out weigh the negatives and I recommend this case highly. I actually just bought a G-Tablet for my mother for christmas so she can have a Honeycomb tablet as well, and bought this case for her to.
Here's the link, hope it works out for you: http://www.amazon.com/Viewsonic-G-Tablet-Case-Keyboard-Stand/dp/B004JF9N1O

Have a try www.electroniccrap.com there are many accessories for GTAB
I actually ordered this case, but it sounds like it is a little different than the one you got. None of my ports is blocked. The case and keyboard are sufficient. The tabs do not really keep the tablet in place securely. I was able to get around that by putting velcro on the back of the tab and the the case. Also the usb cord really has no place to go, when not in use. Again i fixed that with some simple velcro. All in all this is a good case for $30.

Dual USB / AC Plug Desktoop Charger.
Charges via AC while SYNCS USB (leave single or both jacks plugged in)
Bothwork together. Comes w/AC Adapter. Cradle has built in USB cable (so cant lose it!)
Very tiny footprint. Fairly Sturdy. Phone does not tip over.
I actually place one in the ashtray dashboard of my car (wired USB)
Easy feel ... for locking phone on and off of cradle (thats important!!! )
They are the most ALTERNATIVE affordable pricing compared to the OEM desktop chargers which in my opinion are not that good and are about $50 bux or so.
Support Car / Home docking software when phone docked.
Only Con is...BRIGHHHHHTTT blue LED light. Extremely bright.
Had to place a piece of black tape over LED
Thought I would share the 411.
Its hard to find a good alternative these days.....
Thanks for sharing this, just ordered two alongside the OEM Sammy car mount.
Thanks for sharing! Just ordered mine.
How quick does it charge?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one that I want to use to make a custom dock that I can fit in my cup holder in my car, as this phone is too big for my cup holders and that's where I like to keep my phone when driving. Was looking for a good/cheap dock, so thanks again for reporting back on the quality of this one. Definitely a nice price. Free shipping with amazon prime too.
how snug fit it is on the back? is there any room for the case? Will it fit if I have a thin case on?
I see that they also have the one with spare battery charger for $2 more. Interesting.
Hmmm you could probably MHL output while also USB host moding a keyboard/ mouse with this. Gonna buy one to give it a shot
Does it fit when i have a TPU case?
Actually the Samsung OEM dock is great. It's $40 at the ATT store. But I paid $20 with my premiere account.
I bought another on ebay as a back up, but haven't received it yet from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3363wt_1270
This does not actually come with the charger does it? \ Igt says can be used with charger that came with note.
Im confused. \/
so sorry for the delayed response! yes this desktop charger comes with one ac adapter in addition to a usb cable that is a cable built into the charger itself.
it allows you to keep the phone plugged into to both pc & ac wall at the same time with out the need to switch cables
it has a overload protection so no fear of charging burnouts.
it is definetely a snug tight fit onto the cradle itself. never worries about falling over or lose connections. i can say it works super super tight . real happy w/purchase.

3rd Party Cable Too Big?

I have a couple of 3rd party cables and with both it seems like the USB-C connector is slightly too large to fit in the port on the OP5. These cables fit fine on other USB-C ports but on the OP5 it feels like it shouldn't fit in there and that I'm going to break something if I keep forcing it. Anyone had this experience before? Visually they look slightly bigger than the dash cable that came with the OP5 but it's a standard size port so it shouldn't make a difference.
I use Anker cables without issue

Everything fits here too with All of my different cables and adapters
Mine (1x local cheap store, 1x AliExpress with 90° connectors) work just fine. No issues here.
Another vote for Anker cables here, fabulous quality, braided cables and never had an issue with them, I have Anker hubs and they're great too. Should be available from your country's Amazon site. As for the cable you already have, if it "feels too big" (ooer) then I wouldn't force it, you could end up damaging the port and then you're in a world of hurt.
Aukey cables are fitting a little bit more tight (than the original one), but nothing to be concerned about. Better more tight that more loose.
