Think these are good value for a GENUINE Samsung charger @ 12.99 delivered.

They supply 2A so should charge pretty much any mobile device at full whack

(Please don't bother to post if you just want to compare these to cheaper Amazon or eBay knock offs)

Good deal, and well spotted.
I've ordered 2 as spares for my Nexus 7 and my HTC One.

Safety might be an issue with some generic chargers.

Apart from safety some of the DC current from generic chargers is very poor and can damage your phone
