anyone know where i can find a longer charging cable

---

I'm looking for a longer charging cable for my DROID 3, the one that come with the phone is too short. I have read that using cheap cables or cables that didn't come with the phone may cause problems.

Mediabridge makes a 6 foot micro usb cable that works great for charging and to a PC. It's on amazon for 6 bucks.

I just use a usb extension cable, seems to work fine

I always buy cables from Monoprice. I've been using a 10ft micro usb cable from them since I first got my OG Droid with no problems.

same here, thats one of the great things about a phone with a USB charger. you can just put an extender in the main charger and connect the OEM charging cord to its female connector. Sometimes i do wish i had one longer cord though because the cables come disconnected pretty easily if you tug on the phone.

Agreed i use a 16 foot BELKIN extension cable lol(use it for other things besides phone).

Cheap chargers may cause issues, but pretty much any USB cable should be fine. A really cheap long cable could have data transfer issues due to not having enough shielding, but for simply charging it would still work.

Got a 6ft micro usb cable from Monoprice for a couple bucks. Works great and got to me in a few days.

Verizon sells a nine foot charger with removable cable $30
