I've been using a plain micro USB cable, but those don't seem to stay in very well and don't charge my device as well. I've also looked on Amazon and the top search results all seem to be gray market-ish. Fake Samsung logos and reviews that say they don't work as well.

Any suggestions on what I should get? I would prefer to avoid proprietary things if they're gonna cost $20+ for a simple cable.

Thanks
 
Amazon Basics cables are the only brand I buy now, they use high quality wire and end caps.

My daughter would religiously destroy Apple lightning cables, we were buying four a year when I decided to try amazon basics, she typically destroys the cable about every 8 months now.

Give them a try, they are often available in roughly 2, 6, and 9 foot lengths.
