Where can I get a Short Micro USB Cable

[Bill M]

Hello all,
I am looking for a 3 inch micro usb cable that I can stick in my pocket for use with my portable Tekkeon USB charger or my Duracell Instant USB charger to charge a Droid X

It seems that the Droid X is a little finicky in which Micro USB cable it uses, I have a short cable that worked well with my droid, however with the droid x if the battery is below 50% it only seems to work with my included Motorola cable, however that is a bit too long to carry around in my pocket.

Thank you in advance,

Bill

Here's a site that you can customize the cable to how you want it. I bought a 5" right-angle for my car dock. Works pretty well.

Thank you, I checked out that website but $50 is a bit much for a custom cable. I'm looking for a cheap cable that will work with the droid x for charging and data. It shouldn't cost more than $5.

It shouldn't matter that the cable isn't from Motorola.
It's just a micro B cable.
Here is where I got a 6ft cable for my Droid.

That link is for a 3 foot cable. I checked out the rest of the site and the smallest they have is 1.5ft cable.
I'm looking for 3 to six inches.

Haha
I got up way to early.
Well I never seen cables that short.

Go to Jawbone's store:

Jawbone.com Online Store - Welcome

They sell a kit for $14.99 that includes a 4" and a 60" micro USB cable.

After giving it some more thought I think I found you something that'll work.
Buy.com
Should find it cheaper on ebay.

Thank you for your help. I did find one on ebay for 2.99. I hope it works!

Not quite sure where you saw a cable for $50 on that site. I bought a 5" for $10 (plus whatever shipping was). I can't even see a cable that's $50. What cable were you looking at?

Anyways, I'm sure there are other sites that have short micro-usb cables. I just liked that one cause you could define how you wanted the cable.

Sorry,, maybe I went through it too quickly. I guess I was building a custom cable through the custom cable design tool when I didn't need to..

I appreciate the help.
