Iphone car charger

[Rollagt]

Hello to all iPhone users,

 

Bought a car charger at 19 bucks 5 mths ago.

Yesterday while driving, sizzling sound heard from the adaptor and fearing of screwing up the car socket and electrical system..quickly disconnect and dare not use it again.

 

Went to Apple shop to source for a new one but can only see some other brand like Belkin and Griffin..both cost ard $40+

 

Any good recommendation ?

Do be prepared to wait 3-4 weeks. Usually it'll arrive in 2weeks.

Think it has been mentioned before .

"C E" (with a space) is for conformance to Euro Standard - the real deal

Most cheap M.I.C stuff are printed with "CE" (no space) .... fake ... even suspect to mean "China Export"

 

Google it.

I first came to know this when my European counterpart drop a mail to warn us......

Go gmarket or dealextreme.

I buy my electronic stuff from these two website nowadays.

Cheaper and deliver straight to your doorstep, at times much cheaper than local.

The only down is wait two weeks for it to come.
