I wanted to create a topic to help find the cheapest working set of extended micro USB and micro HDMI cables for Bionic lapdock. The reason for this is that most of us have a case on our Bionics and it's a pain to keep having to take it on and off (especially my Otterbox commuter case) when you want to dock your Bionic to the lapdock without having to make any destructive modifications to it. So the solution appears to be extension cables that will connect from the Bionic to the lapdock.
For the cables to work both ends have to be micro and one end has to be male and the other end must be female.
Here is a couple of micro USB cables I have found:
1ft $12.45 after shipping Micro USB Extension Cable - 12inches - RR-MCB-EXT-12G5 | eBay
6ft $10.95 after shipping Amazon.com: 6ft USB Micro-B Male/Female Extension Cable Manhattan 307420: Computers & Accessories
Now the biggest pain has been trying to find a proper micro HDMI cable. I keep finding HDMI cables that are micro on one end and then regular sized HDMI on the other end. And to throw another wrench into the works it seems that there is no standard term for the type of HDMI connection I'm looking for. Some places call it a "micro HDMI" end and others call it a "mini HDMI" end. The cheapest one I could find was on ebay from a seller in Hong Kong:
1ft $16.99 free shipping HDMI 1.4 D type Micro HDMI Male to Micro HDMI Female M/F Extension Cable 30cm | eBay
At almost $30 total it seems a bit excessive. Can anyone else find these cables cheaper?
