I'm using this one from Griffin. Nice quality and slim plug.

Along with the Griffin, the Belkin charger with Lightning cable is one of the best.

Any cheap car chargers for the iPhone 5?


I walked into Walgreen the other day and they had this (checkout) jar with multi-colored, anything u want charger for $3-$5(?) bux.

U supply cable.

BTW, a iP5 car charger is same as a IP4 charger etc. The USB connection gives u 5 volts, so as long as u have the correct cable, am guessing u can get these things at the flea market for a buck or less.

I did the same! They work great!

When you say slim plug are you referring to the lightning connector? I tried it in 3 different cases and it did not fit

I got the Griffin at Best Buy. Ordinarily I would never buy a brand name cable; I'd get the cheapo Chinese ones and hope. But that cable is excellent. it's dedicated (ie you can't plug another USB cable in it), I like the coiled cable, and most importantly, the business end is very heavily attached AND it will fit in my Lifeproof case. It's a keeper.

this is not correct. all usb chargers aren't the same. you need a 2 amp charger for the iphone 5 otherwise your phone will take forever to charge

OP is asking for a CAR charger, not a wall charger. READ.

Do you really need 2 amps for the iPhone? I thought that was for the iPad?
