Car Charger/USB Charger - Samsung Galaxy SII?

Hi,

Please can anyone recommend where to get a car charger and/or USB charger (if there is such a thing) for a Samsung Galaxy SII. Or a Universal one that might suit this phone and others in the future?

Also a protective case and headphones or will it take any standard headphones (haven't got the phone yet, awaiting delivery after years with a very unsmart phone - took advantage of the 3 Cashback deal at the weekend - just hoping I can work the blooming thing when it gets here!?!?

Many thx.

    Add a USB-microUSB cable that you'll get with the phone. Use the same cable as a 'USB charger'.

  • Hi,

    Many thx for the reples. Now that my new toy has been with me a few days I've been looking at the charger options on Amazon/ebay etc.

    Some call themselves "genuine Samsung" and others are generic. Are the non-genuine ones okay to use as well? They are all fairly cheap but the generic ones are a few quid less.

    Also looking for some advice re "SCREEN PROTECTORS" - are they any good/worthwhile or do they hamper the touch sensitivity of the phone? Thx again.

    Screen protectors are ok but you get a greasier smudged screen .Not really required as SGS2 has Gorilla Glass .

    I use Vikuiti 3m protectors certainly dont hamper the touchscreen.
