Samsung MHL adapter for under $20 with free shipping - Galaxy S III Accessories

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA07R0C23152

Anyone know if this is legit? It sounds ok, but no reviews, and the seller has mixed reviews...

Great price! I trust Newegg alot but still hesitant to pull the trigger.

Its the Samsung adapter and the reg price is $49 so no worries about the product.
And newegg is a reputable seller. No worries there either.

Can't tell for sure, since Newegg didn't list the manufacturer part id (EPL-3FHU) in the details, but it does look very similar to the $42 one on Amazon.

VS Amazon's:
It actually looks more similar to the Galaxy S2 mhl adapter (the image was just rotated). The S3's is a little bulkier and rounded.
Galaxy S2 mhl adapter:
99.5% sure it's NOT legit.
I gave it a 1-star review and notified NewEgg about the error.

Keep in mind this cable is not shipping directly from NewEgg. They handle other companies much like Amazon does, here is the page for the store that is reselling this: http://www.newegg.com/theWireless
Some people complain of wrong items/things not fitting. It's a great deal if it's true but I would use caution.
edit:
http://www.amazon.com/Micro-USB-Samsung-Smartphone-conversion-official/dp/998951089X
Also check this out, picture of the adapter for the S2, looks just like the one in the newegg photo (matte and not shiny), like I said, i would use caution.

The issue here is that it's not actually being sold by Newegg. Newegg pulled the same junk like BestBuy and started offering 3rd Party sales incorporated into their site.
I'm 99.9% sure this is just an adapter for the SG2 (and other similar variants).

I miss the old newegg that just sold electronics, most of it computer parts. Now newegg is just like Amazon. If they are the seller you know 99% of the time it is a legitimate item.

looks too good to be true.
I think you still need the 5 pin to 11 pin adapter

Just got off the phone with a rep from theWireless since I jumped all over this before reading everyone's response. They did confirm that the list was not correct and it should have been for the S2. They are pulling the listing and cancelled my order, best service I have ever gotten for a product I was returning/cancelling.

They still haven't updated the product description.
Also, FWIW, I left a 1-star review yesterday letting everyone know that it was for the S2 and not the S3, and NewEgg basically ignored me with this email reply meant to limit negative reviews.

NOT for S3
The model number Newegg gives for this is EIA2UHUNBEGSTA-BBB, which is the model number Samsung gives for the 5-pin S2 version of the MHL adapter. The S3 version has model EPL-3FHUBE. The model number and the photos match the S2 variant, this is the 5 pin adapter.

I ordered this before reading the rest of the posts sadly. After I read the rest of the posts I just went ahead and ordered one of the samsung adapters on ebay so it will be a total of 30 bucks. I am glad I read the rest of the posts before I got this in the mail to find out it was the wrong thing.

I really want one (from the UK) that allows payment other than PayPal, I don't have an account and for £4 not really worth signing up for. I normally pay by debit card when buying from eBay shame can't do the same with this. Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? Thanks

Those are slick, but they don't protect the back of the device.
Man, I can't wait for this thing!
Interesting
Thanks for posting

You know what would make this really cool? A pop-up 30 pin adapter that you could dock the tab on to when in landscape mode. And, a pass through charging function. And, USB and HDMI ports on the side.
Logitech, please make these additions ASAP. TYVM.
If you place the SGT flat onto/into the keyboard, face-in, does it "lock" into place, so that you can carry the two paired together, without the tab falling out? (The attached picture from the Logitech website suggests that the two are meant to "pair" together for carrying).
Second, how much does it weigh? It does not specify on the Logitech website.
When is this supposed to be released?

If you're interested in this one, logitech has been sending out 50% off coupons by email. The coupon works on this item. I was actually planning to get this ($50 with coupon) but realized that I don't need it. Get on their mailing list or go on ebay to get a coupon.

Called right when they opened at 9am EST. They said to place the order and then the code would be applied before it ships. Placed my order! You either have to call first and give them code over the phone, or place the order and then contact sales support.

Aw man the status went back on pre-order. I wonder if CS will still let me order it. I tried that last time and they said that I can't use the coupon on pre-order items.

I literally just bought mine at about 5:20pst at Target but it was priced $34.98. I asked when it was marked down and they told me this morning. Nonetheless, at least I didnt pay full price. So its a win for me.
Either way YMMV per Target location. So check around!

I'm in Texas. One thing I forgot to mention is that my box had two tags. One for the price the other poster took photos of above, and another for the $17. The clerk rang up the Niger of the two. I asked her about it and she peeled back one of the stickers to reveal the original UPC printed on the box. When she scanned it, it rang up the $17 price.

[Q] Is this a legit SD card?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/330916901146
I just need a seller that can ship worldwide to unconfirmed addresses (unless someone can help me out and tell me how to confirm it, specifically, other than already having received items to my address).
Rating looks good, but it says that it ships from hong kong. Not that it's bad, but I have only bought a couple of things off ebay, so I come to you guys who could probably help me.
I realize this is a question but I think it's best suited here.
There's also a seller in the US, who ships internationally, but from taiwan, which makes the whole point of 'buying from a US seller' for me quite pointless. He also demands a confirmed address. So there's that.
Doesn't have to be ebay, either, any seller would work.
I would never buy an SD card from eBay. I've seen way too many horror stories and hardly any good stories.
Have you checked out Amazon.com? It shows they ship international and have legit SD cards.

Returns? Man, you guys have it easy! What returns are you actually talking about? What goes in here, doesn't ever leave the country, EVER. Not kidding! HAHAHA
Went with it anyhow, I'll let you know in a couple of weeks how did it go, thanks for the help .
So, an update to whoever was interested:
- The item arrived today, around 3 weeks since purchase (this is mainly due to customs, not shipping).
- Illustrated size shows 58.5GB (exFAT), with at least 58.4GB usable (didn't bother to fill in the last 100MB). I filled the card with my files (videos, .isos and anything else. All files seem to be readable, not corrupted.

- Write speed is around 16MB/s, although this might be faster since I have a really sad card reader. I used h2testw to show the write speed (didn't bother to refill the sdcard once again).
Proof:
And finally, here's packaging for reference (I will remove any unnecessary info from the envelope).
PS: note that the sandisk card on the left is the dead one, and the sandisk adapter is the one that came with it and I'm currently using.
PS2: forgot to add that it includes a funny 'thank you' note in the envelope.

Getting hold of additional charging docks?

Hi All,
I've been using my Huawei Watch for around a week now and can honestly say that I love it. I originally had the Gear S2 Classic but returned it after 4 days because I thought the Tizen app store was a bit too barron.
One thing I have tried to do since getting the W1 is buy another charger that I can take with me, I'd like to be able to leave the original on my bedside table for night charging but can't seem to find anywhere that sells the chargers for a reasonable price.
I live in the UK and have checked all the usual places but I'm even struggling to find one from the US ect. If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.
Thanks
EDIT: Sorry this should be in the accessories section, can a Mod please move? Thanks
If you're in the US you can buy them from the Huawei store. I don't think it's available anywhere else yet (at least I couldn't find it when I was searching for them).
You can buy one direct one from the Google store, although it's currently showing out of stock.

A bunch are sold on Ebay. Just search "huawei watch charger." I ordered on for $10 USD shipped from China. Don't know how good they are as it will take a couple of weeks to get here. I'd post a link but because I'm new on the forum the will not let me.
Thanks for the replies all, I'll keep an eye on the store for a couple of weeks and go with eBay if not.

Here is a thread we have started about third party chargers. Feel free to join in with your experience. I am going to order that one that @player911 linked to.
If you happen to have huawei band (the black round one), its charger can be used to charge huawei watch too.
I am waiting on a review/comparison before pulling the trigger.
We have ordered one of these and they are of very low quality, the huawei puck has a little bit different connection than the eBay one, making the eBay one even harder to line up when charging.
Received my $10 puck from eBay today - so far it's working great

I bought one in Romania from cel.ro . I don't know if they ship outside my country. It was 40 USD, the original one.
Personally, I bought the original one from the Google store yesterday. Not sure I would trust a cheap chinese replica even at £9 instead of the £29 price tag of the original. The watch is expensive enough without tempting the devil with a charger that was manufactured by a 7yo.
But i think it's too expensive for a charger like this. It could be a bit cheaper
Thanks all! They're back in stock for UK orders as I type this. Just bought mine from the Google Store ☺

I agree, it is expensive, but when you look at the box, you know where the money goes! lol
Plus, I've seen quite a few posts online about people buying those cheap chinese chargers and they burned the back of the watch... so I'd rather pay £10 more and ensure it is fully compatible with my watch.

I doubt that this box costs more than a dollar to make and I doubt that a defective charging pad can damage your watch since there is just to little current going through it. There is a good argument to be made for buying a good quality charger but the charging pad is just a few pins and wire, no way I am paying 40 Euro for that if there is an alternative.

I think its a good idea to have a charger with micro usb plug
I bought a knock off Henoda off Cramazon, I believe $10 bucks free prime ship. I've used it several times, it actually connects better than OEM, I have to fiddle with OEM to get it to connect. So far no real issues.
Your mileage may vary ala Benson Leung's Google testing and frying a chromebook
