I was asked in another thread for this link so I thought I'd share here for others since I'm sure we're all in the same boat here.
So like you, I have a billion USB-A cables and chargers around my house, work, friends', and the car. Since we're moving to USB-C connections, that means none of those will work. There's another thread in this forum that discusses an adapter, and that might be the best solution for you. But for me, I decided I just wanted to buy a handful of cheap cables that should work well enough until we have some good options that don't cost a ton of money.
With that mindset, I went looking and checked all of the usual places - Amazon, eBay, Monoprice, etc. While I did find some cheaper options, they all came with the haze of absolutely no idea if they would work well or not. However, I did find a 4-pack on Amazon for of USB-A 2.0 male -> USB-C male cables (i.e. what you need to plug into your chargers you have all over the place yet while working with your new Nexus).

I have no clue if these are good cables but they at least have 30 reviews with a 4.6/5.0 rating. That was enough for me to buy. Once I get my N6p in, I'll test them and compare them against what ships with the phone and let you all know how well they work. Until then, your guess is as good as mine but this was the best option I could find at this time.
Hopefully this is useful to somebody else until Anker, Choetech, or somebody else comes out with some higher quality cables at a low price!
