Hello,

I am looking for a usb cable (usb A to micro usb B IIRC) to charge a
Samsung phone. One came with the phone but I'd like to replace it with
a longer one and I'd like a second to leave in the car.

I have bought different makes but they all fail after a while because
the metal micro USB plug becomes loose and waggles about in the
plastic moulding of the plug. The OEM plug is made of hard plastic and
does not suffer this problem (yet?).

Any recommendations for what cable will stand-up to repeated pluggings
and unpluggings?

Thanks,
Stephen.

I found the Lindy cables I have to be pretty good. With my old Samsung
Galaxy S2, lots of micro-USB cables didn't work well. Some were
difficult to plug in, some made unreliable connections. A Lindy Cromo
one worked very well but their less expensive ones also worked well.
