Here’s some of our “best” recommendations on the best Samsung Captivate USB cables you can get on Amazon for fractions the price you pay at retail.

Retractable micro USB cable – This one is highly recommended if you travel a lot and you want to use it for your home.  The retractable micro USB cable stays short when you don’t need it long and also extends up to 4 feet.

Price: $13.47 on Amazon

Flexible micro USB cable 1ft – For those of you who prefer something even shorter, perhaps you are only going to use your cable along with your laptop, get this flexible micro USB cable which can be extended up to 1 feet.

Regular micro USB cable 3ft – If you just want the least expensive yet practical Samsung Captivate USB cable, you can get this Blackberry micro USB cable, which is nearly identical to the one that comes with your Samsung Captivate.

For charging your Samsung Captivate in your car, you can use any microUSB car charger that has a high current rating.

Our recommendation is to get this Motorola microUSB Car Charger, which also has a built-in LCD indicator showing how much your Samsung Captivate has charged.

Plus, the Motorola microUSB Car Charger comes with a short-circuit prevention circuit and rated at 950mA meaning it will re-charge your Samsung Captivate faster than many other generic ones out there.
