CrunchGear reader Steve Jabs seems like a reasonable and trustworthy guy. Patient, too, as he’s been reading the site for quite some time now and clearly hasn’t removed our feed from his RSS reader in a fit of rage over one of the many half-assedly researched and grammatically baffling posts that have graced these virtual pages for so many years.
Steve alerts us to a ten-foot HDMI cable deal on Amazon: 74 cents, plus $2.95 for shipping. That’s a grand total of $3.69 – much cheaper than, say, the nine-foot cable that Best Buy sells for $19.
And if I may add something to Jabsie’s deal, I’d point out that if you can make-do with a six-foot HDMI cable, you can get one of those on Amazon for just a penny, plus $2.98 for shipping.
And while even less expensive HDMI cables may exist somewhere out there, the moral of the story is: there’s no need to overpay for HDMI cables — Jabs tested, Aamoth approved.

Thanks for sending this in, Steve.
I in fact enjoy grammatical errors and misspellings. Who needs such things!?
BTW, I will eventually get that iPhone screen replacement walkthrough to you guys (with the one you guys got me hooked up with). Now that I’ve shattered the glass on mine I kinda have the kick-in-the-ass thing going on to get it done. It kinda hit the back burner after my move to Florida! Next week you’ll have it mayhaps?
I bought 3 HDMI cables off Amazon.com for 1.31 each last year and have noticed 2 of them seem to have intermittent connections. I switched one of them for a $20 cable from a local supplier and problem went away. I’d just caution that cheaper cables might not be made quite as well. You get what you pay for. OTOH, I’d never go for Monster cables.. just find a decent, middle of the road cable.
