There are several Ebay sellers of electronics accessories (like cell phone cases and cables) who charge little to ship or even have free shipping. You just need to look around. Typically it ships from Hong Kong, which makes it even more amazing that the shipping is so low. Obviously as a buyer it is your responsibility to check the total cost, including shipping. Fortunately, Ebay makes it a lot easier to see this information when viewing a list of items than they used to. BIll
