I use a USB micro cable with on/off switch here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JU24Z3W/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Then use a USB micro -> mini converter here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002O1S8IE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Any better solutions out there?
