Upgraded phones recently and charging port changed from micro USB to USB C. Currently have a bunch of USB A charging cables. To reuse these cables I needed some adapters for conversion to USB C. Reading online, many of the adapters on Amazon are not built to USB spec and could melt.
Luckily happened upon this item that Amazon "makes" and sells. These are also USB-IF certified. Being both Amazon's own brand and USB-IF certified gave me good confidence in using these adapters. I also purchased a USB current/power monitor for some quick testing.
Comparing charging currents for the same cable and charger with and without the adapter (old and new phone), the values were the same or very close. So, it looks like the adapter works as intended without spiking the output currents of my chargers which could lead to a melt down or a fire.
Build quality wise the chargers are a nice white color and the metal USB C connector is firm with the micro USB side giving a nice snug fit to my old cables.
Would buy again if more were needed.

There isn't a whole lot to say about these AmazonBasics USB adapters other than they feel well constructed and fit firmly on both ends. The outside shell is small enough to plug into my Google Pixel 3a phone with a case. The rubber gasket/keychain holder on the Micro USB end appears to be built into the adapter so there's no removing it unless you cut it off or maybe pull really hard to tear it off. The only real gripe I have with this adapter is the keychain clip which does not open wide enough to clip onto any USB cables that I could find. I figured clipping it to the cable it adapts would be handy so I wouldn't lose it in the event of removal to charge/power Micro-USB devices. This isn't a deal-breaker, but somewhat of a disappointment.

I purchased these to convert a USB C socket to Micro USB Female in order to connect a Micro USB camera (Seek Thermal). It didn't work. The company Seek has referred me to another brand (Weduda) that apparently does work. If I buy something that is supposed to convert a socket, I expect it to "just work". This didn't. It may work fine for other purposes.

I bought two version of this product, the white ones and the metallic gray ones with the chain. I've had the white ones for over 3 weeks now, the gray ones I just got.
As far as functionality they work exactly as described. With a the 2A OE charger that came with my phone I get 2A charge current into my phone using these adapter with a micro-USB cable (I used the AccuBattery app as my ammeter); my phone even displays "charging rapidly" on the lock screen as with the OE cable and charger. That's as good as you'll get with these adapters, 2A, from what I understand. I was using the adapters to charge my Moto G Power phone and my wife's identical Moto G Power unit, I tested all 8 devices and have been using 3 of them consistently for weeks now. Same can be said for bi-directional data transfer, they worked flawlessly but of course at USB 2.0 speeds. I even used the adapter in my car and had flawless Android Auto performance on a 6 hour drive on my cheapie retractable USB cable. The USB port in my car also appears to supply around 2A charging current since my phone would also display "rapidly charging" with the retractable cable+adapter.
The only downside, and it's a small one, is the ludicrously small chain with the metallic gray version. The C-clamps on there are just too small to fit around nearly any USB cable out there except for the flat/skinny ones on retractable cables. I had to use needle-nose pliers to open up the C-clamp, it worked but man is the end funny looking now (but at least is secure).
Except for that stupid chain implementation these things work exactly as I expected; they do not get hot with 2A charging but just barely warm, the phones I tested them with have zero issues charging or with data transfer, and mechanically they inserted with a good "click" into the phones (all 8 of them) and with a reassuring "click" when inserted into my micro-USB cables.

I got these for my new phone (Google pixel 2) because I didn't want to make all my old charging cords obsolete. I think they're actually really cute! I was impressed by how small and compact they are,I feel that most electronics adapters are clunky and awkwaed. But these are great! They are small and slim, and they will slide down all the way over the micro usb so that the adapter becomes flush with the host. I mostly am using these on Anker brand mini USB coeds.

Recently upgraded to a Samsung S20 FE from an S7, so I needed up migrate from MicroUSB to USB C for all of my cabling. These adapters let me use my old cables for both fast charging (just as fast as the cable that came with the phone) and Android Auto (which is always a concern when buying new cables). Worked perfectly.

The adapters have a high failure rate, From the 4 I ordered, 2 have totally failed and a third is intermediate and failing and the forth still works for now. Ass with everything else, you get what you pay for. For the cost of the items, I am not surprised by the poor quality of the adapters. It is what it is.

Honestly pretty impressed with these. I bought them to have a cheap set of more or less throw away adapter tips to keep on hand for emergencies. Tested all 4 against a usb c cable to charge my Galaxy S8 all 4 gave the same charge time. Only real complaint is the clips are really too small to fit around anything but the thinnest cables, but given the price I can live with it.

Works wonders with Android Auto...
Reviewed in Canada on November 1, 2020Color: BlackVerified Purchase
I was hesitant to buy a MicroUSB-to-USB-C adapter as many buyers had experienced problems connecting their smartphone with Android Auto. I have found that if you buy a cheap USB cable, you will successfully charge your smartphone all right, but you may experience intermittent and frustrating connection problems with Android Auto. I've bought an excellent not-cheap USB cable for my own MicroUSB Moto X Play, and this AmazonBasics adapter for my spouse's USB-C Samsung 10-S. Both phones can feed Android Auto transparently without issues. Four adapters at this price is a bargain.

I Had Alot Of Micro USB Cables Lying Around From My Old Cellphones And I Didn't Want To Throw Them Away Since They Are All Still Working. After I Bought My New Phone Which Has USB C Connection I Decided To Buy These Adapters To Use With My Old Micro USB Cables And I Couldn't Be Any Happier They Work Perfectly Well With The Fast Charging On My Cellphone.

Does what it says on the tin

These adapters, plus Amazon's charge-only USB-C to micro-USB cables, give me a safe, USB-IF certified way to charge legacy USB devices and any USB-C that doesn't normally charge C-C (there are LOTS out there that assume A-C and it's horrendous).
Data may not work on these, but it's a non-issue to my needs.

Most new smart phones come with micro usb-c plug mine doesn"t so if I i'm in a jam and I have to borrow someone else's charger I have the adapter. I keep one in the car and one at home and the other two are spares. After all they are pretty small and can be misplaced easily. Great product!
