Anyone know if this is legit? It sounds ok, but no reviews, and the seller has mixed reviews...

Its the Samsung adapter and the reg price is $49 so no worries about the product.
And newegg is a reputable seller. No worries there either.

Can't tell for sure, since Newegg didn't list the manufacturer part id (EPL-3FHU) in the details, but it does look very similar to the $42 one on Amazon.

Newegg photo:


VS Amazon's:


It actually looks more similar to the Galaxy S2 mhl adapter (the image was just rotated). The S3's is a little bulkier and rounded.

Galaxy S2 mhl adapter:


99.5% sure it's NOT legit.

I gave it a 1-star review and notified NewEgg about the error.

Keep in mind this cable is not shipping directly from NewEgg. They handle other companies much like Amazon does, here is the page for the store that is reselling this: http://www.newegg.com/theWireless

Some people complain of wrong items/things not fitting. It's a great deal if it's true but I would use caution.

Also check this out, picture of the adapter for the S2, looks just like the one in the newegg photo (matte and not shiny), like I said, i would use caution.

The issue here is that it's not actually being sold by Newegg. Newegg pulled the same junk like BestBuy and started offering 3rd Party sales incorporated into their site.

I'm 99.9% sure this is just an adapter for the SG2 (and other similar variants).

I miss the old newegg that just sold electronics, most of it computer parts. Now newegg is just like Amazon. If they are the seller you know 99% of the time it is a legitimate item.
