I just installed one of these babies

I ordered a cordless USB charger months ago and it still isn't in, so I broke down and bought a built-in. It's 3 amps, so it charges everything I have. I still need cords, but I won't waste time and money looking for chargers and replacing the ones left in hotel rooms. I like it.

I am making a statement. ;)
Actually, I'm just happy to have a 3 amp wall charger.

Tighten them till you hear a snapping sound, and then back off to the nearest flat.

I've seen them there, but the ones I saw there some months ago were 2 amp. That's OK if you only want to charge an iPad (it draws 2 amps) but if you want to do, say a phone and an iPad they charge slow.
I got this one at Menards.

I just bought a 6 (six) USB charger/power strip off ebay. This way I can charge my Kindle, my phone, and my ipad, with a separate keyboard, with room left over for my wifes phone if needed.

Cost?

If you want to put one in your wall I'd recommend going with USB C. It'll be a lot more common soon.

I use one of these in the kitchen.

5 port. 40 Watt. Charges real fast.

Portable so when we travel with the kids no hassle finding enough outlets in the hotel room for everyone's devices.

Dust will settle in them that way - clock them so they are vertical ! (Oh - and not all cover plates are designed with the small retaining tab to hold the screw - so if you overtighten the screw you will crack the plate.

I think one, or two of my covers are cracked, and none of the screws lined up either, I must not be ADD !.....Truly doesn't bother me even when I think about it.

Amazon.com: Anker 5-Port Desktop Usb Charger with PowerIQ Technology, 40-Watt, Black: Cell Phones & Accessories

40 watts! That's a cool charger. I've left portable chargers in hotels all over North America, Mexico, and Europe. I can never find one at home. I'm excited to have one screwed to the wall so I know where it is.

No affiliation - just noticed this made front page on slickdeals.net. Leviton brand, qty 2 - 3.6A USB ports, 15A receptacle
Cheaper than Amazon or HD.
