iPhone 4S charger recommendations

[Fusebox]

The Apple cord that came with the phone when I bought it in July of 2012 has become frayed. Can anyone recommend a good replacement one to buy? I'd also like to buy a good car charger as well.

I had a look in Walmart today, but there wasn't much for choice and I would rather be able to read online reviews before purchasing.

reviews of a charging cable?

I bought one at princess auto for $8 - it is one of those cables that has about 4 different ends on it. When I plug the cable into my phone, and the other end into a charger, and then plug the charger into an outlet - my phone becomes charged in about two hours or so.

he cord is black, so it goes with almost any outfit I am wearing.

After having a some odd issues with chargers and cables, it's all OEM for me now for Apple stuff. The savings aren't worth the hassle IMHO.

Ken, were they Monoprice or something like Deal Extreme or Ebay Cables?

I just ask as Monoprice are all certified cables, and I have a dozen of them with zero issues.

I always thought the problem was with the $3 lightning cables you know can't be made for those prices. At least Monoprice is about $12.

Yes, Deal Extreme or eBay. However one was a $10 cable from a North American seller. Monoprice should be OK if they are certified, but as said before when you are now looking at only saving 30-50% instead of 90-95%. For that much difference I'd still just go with OEM.

I know, I know..... I am feeding the system that Apple is creating.

OEM is the way to go... As Ken said, pay the extra $10 for peace of mind. It's worth knowing you're not going to damage any of your other electornics or start a fire from a crappy $2 cable.
