Aftermarket wall charger?

Due to an unfortunate mishap with the dog, my wall charger is no longer working. Since I ride a motorcycle, the car charger is no longer an option. I am now stuck with the sync cable for charging, which is unreliable at best. Is there a good, cheap option out there for a wall charger? The Verizon one is $25, and iGo isn't much better.

On a side note, I've been wondering - how do you folks charge your second battery if you have one?

there are docks on ebay that hold the phone and charge an extra battery. Theyre also fairly inexpensive.
As for wall chargers, any cheap knockoff should be fine. I just got a new omnia usb cable for $3 with shipping from amazon.

cant beat it for 3 bucks.

Generic stuff will work just as well as original stuff, typically. It might not be assembled as well, but if you aren't too rough with it, it should last for a long time.

try places like walmart and gas stations that usually sell some for cheap... all the ones i have used work... or if u still have the car charger get one of those things that make it into a wall charger
