So I've ordered my HTC10, and I know that it works on a USB-C standard, due to the quick charge. But, all over my house I have some of the really awesome MOS Spring USB cables, and I was wondering what everyone's thoughts are about obtaining an adapter to convert those cables so that I don't have to re-invest in cables for awhile (that and MOS hasn't announced a USB C cable yet).

Is anyone here planning on going that route, or are we all re-investing in spare cables? And what cables would you suggest (because I'd like something really reliable and close to indestructible)

I got these
I don't know if they are approved or whatever, but I don't plan to use them with the quickcharger the phone came with. I will use these for regular little sips of juice at work or in the car with regular voltage chargers. I'll use the OEM charger and cable at home for the most part, but it's nice to have a backup when you need it without having to buy all new cables.

ANKER. Both their cables and the C adapters are top notch and very tough!

Whatever you get, just be 110% sure that they are USB-C compliant. There are a lot that are not, and could blow up your device. See the following Google engineer's reviews to see what is and what is not.

Thanks Dutch. The Anker one should be here today, and I'll see how it works out. I just don't want to buy new cables, and I don't think I should have to. Besides, it's just for a little bit of peace of mind while I'm at work.
