iPhone 5 chargers
Options
Anyone know whether its a bad idea to pick up one of the cheap chargers and car chargers for eBay/amazon? As they're so cheap, can they harm the phone? Or better to pay a little more for a decent one? Always forget mine so need one at work and for the car!

No problems with the cheap ones whatsoever.
Some cheap original lightning cables can cause issues but now they seem to of sorted it.
Try to get a 1A / 2A charger if you can - the 500ma / 0.5A ones won't charge that fast.
If it says "not charging", just wait and see what it does - "not charging" normally just means charging very slowly. My phone often says this plugged into my PC with a long USB cable but works anyway.Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.0
