Anyone know the most budget friendly place to get good quality iphone chargers. I'm not in to paying $40 total for the Apple brand that get bends at the plug and stop working after a couple months.
 
My only advice... pay attention to the mah rating...
  • 2000 mah is good for a single charge
  • 4000 mah will be good to give you a full charge with some to spare
  • 6000 mah is when it you have two or three charges before it needs to be charged... however it also when it gets heavier/bulkier
  • 10000 to 17000 mah is better if you have a tablet to charge too

There are also new external batteries that can boost your car and charge your phone!

I use a Belkin 4 ft. lightning cable on my iPad. I've had it over a year and it's outlasted the original Apple cable.
 
With lots of kids and lots of Apple devices, we use lots of chargers. We've actually had the best luck with those cheap colorful ones at the checkout counter at Walgreens. I think they're called Tech And Go. We've been using them for almost 2 years now, no problems whatsoever. The Apple brand chargers are maddening in how quickly they bend at the plug and quit working!
 

Just an FYI,if your device is still under warranty with Apple then so is your cable and charger and they will replace them.

That said, it has always surprised me how crappy Apple cables and chargers are considering the price of the devices. We use these:

They're about twice as thick as the Apple cords and very durable. A little on the pricey side compared to some but they last forever. I have a couple that are years old.
 
Walgreens has them by the registers for like $5 and they come in different colors. You can get them at the 5 Below store (everything is $5 or below). I also want to say I have seen them at the Dollar Tree as they carry some stuff for Iphones as well.
 
thanks for starting this post OP. i just got an iphone and was wondering what to get for a back up. ill check out the ones on amazon.
