Longer/Softer Micro-USB Cable

---

Has anyone found a good/cheap usb cable that's 6 ft or longer? By good, I mean it's soft/flexible/thin like the iPhone or Kindle cables.

I'm aware that monoprice has cheap ones that are great quality, but they're thick and stiff.

Just picked up three of these USB to micro USB
$2.99 and free shipping just got them today so I haven't had a lot of time to try them out.
Nothing really special, a stock cable but longer.

Totally not soft or thin. It's also a bit finicky in the N7's port. I've yet to find any good thin cables.

I'll try them out for 3 bux lol. My other cord that I have used for my Sensation and now gone KF worked but did not for the N7. Will see if this newegg one works.

You need to shave about 2mm off one side, which is easy since it's a soft plastic. It's stiff and thick the way I like it? I stocked up on these when they were on sale for $5. Best USB cable ever IMO.

I just held them up side by side and I see what you mean. The metal portion of the micro B is definitely longer on the N7 OEM cable.

I have no issue with the cable, I was just pointing out it wasn't what the OP was looking for.

You can also try a BB Playbook wall charger. I used to use that until I sold my playbook. It was 6 feet and not that stiff.

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys. I just ordered a bunch from monoprice even though they're fairly bulky. Hopefully the fact that they're 15' will make it easier to play with while plugged in.
