I would NOT recommend these.
When using either the car adapter or outlet charger you cannot use the phone while charging. I used the micro USB cable to charge my phone via the HTC wall charger and it took over 12 hours to fully charge. I was at a conference when I discovered this and had to be very careful how much I used my phone. I returned home and when I used the micro USB cable the phone came with it was 2 hours.
Go with the OEM items as they will work better. These cheap items will only cause you more aggravation.For the $4 I think I spent, I would absolutely recommend as a cheap alternative, even if I need to end up getting another soon. I would buy this again, and may buy another to have backups for when I go on vacations.
Using this for my G2 (which I got about a year ago) about two weeks, so I can't say anything about longevity.
Notes about the cords/chargers:
-The micro USB fits snugly within the G2 socket; I can hang and shake the phone holding only the charger cord, and it stays on with each cord/charger. This is especially useful when driving and it falls off the console due to a sharp turn, where you can easily pull it back by the cord.
-I was able to use my phone with each charger (text, call, web, etc) without it going into car mode in both 2G and 4G environments.
-I've had no problems with charging times (all normal).
-The cords and connections all seem pretty much the same in terms of quality with respect to OEM products, though the connection part that you hold with your thumb is considerably larger. This is good because it's easier to hold and (dis)connect, but can get in the way while using the keyboard depending on how you hold the phone.The wall charger somehow puts my phone into "car-mode" when plugged in. Broke my original charger, this was a great deal to replace it, and get a car charger, usb connector at the same time. I've used them for months and they all charge my phone and kindle well. The wall charger disables some features on my android phone while it is plugged in, but since I charge overnight, it hasn't bothered me. . . Plus, they were such a good price!I got a new HTC phone and was figuring I'd have to pay a bundle for the car charger, the charger for work, etc. Two great discoveries: 1) The mini USB is becoming a standard for cell phone rechargers (and Kindle's too); 2) The stuff is really cheap. So I spend $6 for a car charger, a wall charger and the USB cable. Six bucks. No shipping charges. They all work fine. Great deal.Very poor quality. Lasted about a month and the wall charger broke. USB wire never worked. Car charger seems to be on its last leg too. What was I thinking.
