Default Where to buy iPhone charger other than the Apple Store?

In town for the holidays and forgot my iphone charger. Are there any places other than the apple store that I might be able to pickup a new charger? Staying in the South and don't feel like making the drive up to Market Mall tomorrow.

It says that one works with iPhone 3g, but i don't see why it would not work with 3gs as well..

Hmm can't find it on their site either.

Found it on the Rogers online store, guess a Rogers store might be my best bet.

Even better!

Love this phone, but the battery life is brutal when browsing on 3g.

This won't help you for the current issue, but it might for the future. I buy stuff like this at Monoprice. They have one for $2.16. I used to buy this stuff on eBay, but Monoprice has better quality for about the same price. I just bought a bunch of accessories like this for the iPhone from them. e.g. I bought two car adaptors and some cables that will always be in the car. At the prices they charge, you can just leave them everywhere you would use them.

Monoprice 4 life. I just bought 10 iPhone screen protectors, an iPhone battery pack, and an hdmi switch for under $30 shipped. I would have loaded up on chargers but they were out of stock.

If you can wait 9 days for your stuff monoprice is your new best friend.

I bought the cheapest car chargers I could find on Ebay for my Tour. Something like $6 delivered. They have really short cords and don't work at all.

Canadian Tire has a 6 piece accessories kit for $30...it includes a retractable usb cable, to plug into either a car charger or a plug in charger, as well as an aux cable, headphones and a headphone splitter.

Ended up buying a USB cable at the Rogers store at chinook. Also Monoprice is awesome, bought 4 HDMI cables for less than the price of 1 at Futureshop.

There is no need to be that guy. A spare cable is always handy in the future.
