Default Mini USB to Micro USB Adapter

Does anyone know where I can buy a mini USB to Micro USB adapter for my car charger? I don't want to have to buy another car charger.

they're pretty great

i chose them over a smaller rigid converter, because these are less likely to break your usb connectors

I went looking for low-cost adapters while waiting for my phone to ship, and there just didn't seem to be any that were cost-effective.

I wound up buying a brand new car charger for $6 on amazon and a handful of new USB to micro USB cables for less than $2 each on monoprice.

I can't see the economy in spending $5 to make my $4 mini-usb charger compatible with my phone, when a new charger is just $5 anyway. I really hope that monoprice starts selling some ridiculously cheap adapters in the near future.

Thank you very much!

Exactly what I was looking for. Now I need to come up with $25 worth of stuff to get the free shipping.

I called Radio Shack, $12.95, ouch and no thank you. I can buy a whole charger for that price at WalMart.

Petronic's point is well taken. Gonna follow the same route too.

Thank you for all of the replies!

dealextreme.com is real popular in the GPS hacking world. I have never had any issues. Google them and I think you will find they are well used and received.
