Super cheap solution, I need more!

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2016

These are flippin awesome! Recently purchased these along side the purchase of a Nexus 6P and as such, I had zero USB-C type cables, nada, nothin, nathan... These have been super slick transforming my existing cables into a connection to support my new phone. They fit in firmly, seem well built, and support data and charging. Win win here. However, I am a bit miffed that I chose to go white and note black. I don't know what I was thinking, all of my cables are black, so my OCD tingles every time I see it. Ah well, it gets the job done. I will be buying more, but in black.

Starting to be little loose after several months

Reviewed in the United States on April 6, 2016

I have many micro usb cables and chargers from my old phones and devices, including some extra long cables. So I was a bit annoyed that my Nexus 5X has a USB-C connector until I saw these adapters. I've bought a regular USB-C cable for places like the car where I don't want a tiny adapter that could get lost, but I didn't want buy all new cables for the other adapters. They originally fit nice and tight on both ends and are tinier than I expected. However over time the end that goes into the phone has gotten looser. So some movement of the phone will cause it to come slightly unplugged and it'll stop charging. The white pair I have hasn't shown this problem, but this black pair has a less noticeable click when connected.

They work fine for data transfer and charging as long as I take care not to pull it out a bit. Easy to do during they day, but doesn't work for charging overnight since if I check the time, it'll often pull out a tiny bit. So I had to go to a USB C cable for that use.

One thing I don't like about them is they end up being fairly long on the end of a cable. That worries me because it is much easier to put a lot of stress on the phone socket with the adapter plus existing end on the cable. Although the stock USB C cables have longer ends than USB micro cables to begin, so this isn't that much longer. But the extra length still worries me.

Works, Pricey, but not for Google Chormebook Pixel (2015)

Hard to nit pick over an itty bitty little adapter. Works fine with my Nexus 6P. Can get high amperage with the correct chargers. The Type C end fits in the device bare and is appropriately sized to fit case openings for my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Hybrid. The Micro B end is tight enough to hold the male Micro B end of cable without falling off. I got 2 for $9.99 so a little pricey for what it is in my opinion, but otherwise perfectly usable.

Note this does not have the specified 56Kohm resistor and so because of the design choices made by the design team, it will not charge a Google Chromebook Pixel (2015). For devices more carefully designed, it will work just fine.

Working as expected, would buy again

These are working great with my Nexus 5X. I've owned other Nexus phones and hence have a lot of Micro USB cords lying around. Rather than buy a bunch of new cords, I liked this option. So far so good. I ordered 2 two packs. 3 of the 4 worked and when I sent an email to the company telling them that one wasn't working, they immediately got a replacement in the mail at no cost to me, nor did I need to return the faulty one. (I responded to a follow up email they sent asking about my purchase, which made it easy for me to share what I was facing). I'm considering buying a few more since I do have so many Micro USB adapters around and rotating through only 4 is not ideal. Additionally, I chose the white ones as it makes it obvious which cords I can use since all my Micros are black.

The Silver Bullets you're looking for!

Just when you thought you had all the answers, they changed the questions! Here we are with a new USB standard and, in my opinion, a superior one. The problem is none of the things I already have support it. I recently received a brand-spanking new Nexus 5X phone and, at first, was dumbfounded why the charging cable - mini USB - I used for my old phone wasn't snapping right in on my new Nexus. I'm just grateful I didn't try to force it in and damage my phone.

Sure enough, new phone, new standard. I resigned myself to whipping out the charger plug and cable that came with the phone. This is something I don't normally do in case I either have to return it or perhaps sell it at some point down the road. I immediately started thinking about, and researching, how I would interface my new phone to my computer, existing chargers, and cables.

At first I considered new cables. I also considered adding a USB Type C (the new USB standard) adapter card to my computer despite the fact it already has plenty of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports. At some point during my research, I stumbled upon these little gems and, as my son would say, they are "genius"! Why add an adapter card or buy new cables when I already have plenty?

With these adapters I am able to make use of all my legacy equipment: the USB ports on my computer, my existing chargers (especially the ones in my car), and all my cables. It's the phone that requires the new interface so why not just change the very tip of whatever you're plugging into it? Problem solved!

These adapters won't do anything about increasing transfer speed or charging times, but they will let you use any USB Type C device with USB 2.0 and 3.0 equipment. You'll still be operating at USB 2.0 and 3.0 speeds, that won't change, but you'll be able to make full use of your new device. That's a good thing.

Nice adapter

I recently purchased 2 new LG phones and was a little dismayed to find that the charging cable required the new C type...dismayed because I have a lot of micro USB charging cables. I was glad I found this adapter, so that I don't have to purchase more cables. It is small and could be easily lost, but I will attach it to the cable and use one for my spare in the kitchen drawer and the other for my husband at his office. I used it once and it did quickly charge the phone.

Questionable build quality

Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2015

I recently purchased a OnePlus 2. Like many other people, I bought these adapters to make use of the plethora of micro USB cables I already own.

Initially, both worked as expected. The only quirk I noticed was that the cables don't seat all the way in on either end, leaving a few mm gap (perhaps by design?) between the adapter edge and the cable shell, as well as on my phone's charging port.

Only after a few days, the one in my car quit working altogether. The phone somehow senses it is supposed to be charging ("charging" is indicated on the lock screen), but it doesn't actually charge (as indicated by the LED indicator or a lightning bolt in the status bar battery icon).

A day after that happened, the other one which I had taken to work suffered a crack along the side when the cable end it was attached to fell off the edge of my desk. The plastic connector shell around the adapter seems very brittle, though the adapter still functions as advertised.

After only a week of ownership, I'm disappointed in the product. I think next purchase will be an actual USB-A to USB-C cable instead of an adapter.

- and so to get a new phone that is no longer using this made me a bit sad. However

Thank goodness someone came up with a solution to this new phenom of USC-C! I always get a bunch of Micro USB cables to have on hand - in my purse, car, backpack, classroom, etc. - and so to get a new phone that is no longer using this made me a bit sad. However, learning that there was an adapter for all my Micro USB cables made my head explode! So thankful that these exist! I seriously did not want to buy more cables (over it!). Only thing keeping me from giving this 5 stars is the power I've noticed when charging. On certain cables, they charge quick, others not so much. I'll have to figure out if it's a wiring thing or the adapter not working as well.

Other than that, great find!

They are excellent for that purpose

I bought these mostly to be able to charge with existing chargers in the car. They are excellent for that purpose.
I also wanted to use my 5x for doing development and data management. The combination of these adapters and a micro USB cable that works with other phones, does not work with either adb or data access. I have the updated and replaced the android sdk and all drivers. The phone is recognized, but shows no data. Adb shows no devices attached. I do not know for certain that the failure is in the adapters, but that is what I suspect.

Does what it says it does.

Works exactly as advertised to convert my micro USB cords to be able to charge my Nexus 5X. Obviously it doesn't rapidly charge but it saved me from having to buy all new cords for my car/office/etc. The only complaint I have is (for the one in my car in particular--maybe because it gets hot in there?) the actual converter slips out of the white casing. It doesn't necessarily affect the function of the product but I do have to be careful to not lose it.
