Micro Connectors USB OTG Adapter Micro USB Male to USB A Female – Product Review
I needed this adapter cable to connect my Android phone to a camera for some very ad-hoc purposes. It seems that such purposes are far from common, and these male micro-USB to female USB connectors are very hard to find. I ordered a similar one on Amazon, but since it was shipped from China it was taking it weeks to reach me. I finally gave up and decided to check out the local electronics superstore. I was able to find exactly one of these there. The price was also pretty good, much cheaper than the one on Amazon.
So far this cable adapter has been adequate for my needs. It fits snugly both within the Android phone and at the USB end. I’ve used it a couple of times and haven’t had any problems with it. It is reasonably well built, and seems durable. It is fairly short, so make sure that it will serve the purpose for which you intend to use it.

I can’t find one at the superstores. Any suggestions? I want to connect my android tablet to the keyboard that was part of the case I bought.
They sell it on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/eForCity-Micro-USB-OTG-Adapter/dp/B005QX7KYU/ It’s shipped from China, so be prepared to wait a few weeks before it arrives.
I’ve also heard that it can be bought on eBay.
