Tired of the counterfeit Apple wall chargers breaking so I am looking for a cheap but good wall USB port charger for my iPhone. Any recommendations?
 
I hear you there, I bought 4 $0.99 ones off eBay and some of them work, others only lasted a couple weeks. It's a shame that apple charges so much for theirs.

Yeah, I agree. I would buy Apple even if it was $14.99, but $30 is too much. The cheap $1 rip offs either make a loud squeal noise, don't charge at all, charge extremely slow, or make the phone act up during charging.
 
mine tended to just quit working.. I thought it was my cheap iPod cables (couldn't resist the colours) but alas it was the charger!
