Clips for mains charging adaptors

[1adam]

My stock Galaxy S3 charger came with a UK 3-pin clip in the box that you 'clip-on' yourself for first use.
Where on earth can you buy the Euro, Asia, or Americas clips by themselves? I have trawled the web to no avail.

I don't see the point in it being an inter-changeable clip design without supplying the other adaptors - this is a big miss for the frequent traveler.
My Blackberrys over the past 8 years always came bundled with clips for all regions so you could quickly switch on a trip.

cant you just get an adaptor from like the $shop or whatever to convert the 3pin to two?
or is there voltage issues with that? (uk voltage is 240v, dont know if US is still 120 or whatever)

global s3, UK. Ask me anything and ill reply even if its just an intelligent (or stupid) guess

p.s, i dont think the point is in it being interchangable,. more so that you can use the cable as a usb lead for the computer

If you follow this link http://m.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ETA0U61JBEGSTA you'll see the US travel charger with the tip you're looking for. Obviously, it's a waste to purchase the whole thing just for the tip, but now at least you know what the part number is (ETA0U61JBE). I'd suggest getting online with Samsung 'chat' - they may be able to help you or at worst they'll give you the direct number for their accessories group (I had the number once but tossed it after I found what I was looking for). The accessories group should be able to help you purchase just the tip.

Thanks, I will try that. It must only be me that thought the world had moved on from carrying around bulky plug adapters in your bag when you travel. Samsung should have just supplied the major 3-4 plastic clips in the box like BlackBerry do.
