Right-angle charger?

[Sprockethead]

Anyone know of a charger where the wire is at a right angle to the plug? In almost every case, there is too much tension on the cord when plugged in to keep it standing on the kickstand.

Also, in the car, a right-angled charger would be useful for me. I found a right-angle auxiliary input for the stereo, and that helps some. Previously, I had one big plug coming straight out of the bottom, and another coming straight out of the top. It is kind of silly.

I have a right angle mini usb car charger for my last phone, so i know they exist. Try monoprice.com they have tons of adapters.

I thought that Evo used a micro USB?

amazon.com has right angle adapters for a couple dollars. Also saw right angle cables for the usb wall charger

I have one but it's a mini so I'm SOL unless I find a new micro one.. ??

Hmmm... Can someone give me a ruling as to whether the Evo uses a mini usb or a micro usb? I'm embarrassed to say that I can't tell the difference, and this is not listed with the technical information on HTCs website.

Micro

Well, they all seem "bent" the same way. I was hoping to have one where the cord was bent towards the back of the phone, if that makes sense. These are bent left-to right instead, which doesn't really help.

It makes sense, but I don't know where to find one like your wanting

 

[Sprockethead]

Curses.

Yes my right-angle mini is bent sideways not front/back like I would want a micro for my EVO if I could find one.. Drats!!
