    Lads can anyone recommend where to buy micro USB chargers that are good but also well priced? I've bought a few on ebay etc before but a lot of the time the cheap ones are rubbish. I want something with a decent lengthy cable, not the 2 feet you find a lot of the time. Preferably the USB cable plus Wall Plug so i have the choice.

    I'm not sure how it works but I find a lot of them obviosuly have a lower voltage or whatever as it takes considerably longer to charge them than with the supplied charger. I once bought a propler HTC wall plug and a 2m Micro USB Cable but the charge from it was very week. I don;t want more rubbish chargers. The only exception is I have a charger from a Blackberry and its brilliant.

    Can anyone point me to a well priced charger (on ebay etc) that will work well?
    Thanks

    Quite simply. Check the Amp rating of your phone and buy a charger to suit. Alot of blackberry chargers are 500mA so they are worse than a standard 1 / 2amp charger in terms of charging time .

    Bought that Samsung one a couple of months backs and can't fault it especially at that price. I use it on my nexus 4 and 7 and it charges them the same as the official ones. The cable is a little over a metre I think so a nice length.
