SnapPower USB Charger Outlet Wall Plate Cover [Not for GFCI Outlets] - No Batteries Or Wires - Installs In Seconds - (Décor, Ivory) (1 Pack)

These seem like a great idea but they are flimsy and very poorly made, especially for the hefty price. One does not work at all and one only works when you wiggle the socket. Very disapointing to find your phone with no charge in the morning because the charging socket was not working all night.

I bought the chargers on a steep deal because they looked awesome and I certainly could use some out-of-the-way USB ports for my large number of USB devices per capita in my household. Unfortunately, I didn't catch that they are only 1A chargers. That might be enough for my 2013 Nexus 5, but it's not enough for most of my other, newer devices to charge sufficiently fast. I returned them. I'd happily give them a try if a 2.1A or 4.2A version came out in 2017.

I was pretty skeptical about the Snap Power wall plate. I had actually purchased a full replacement outlet with USB ports built in but when I tried to install it discovered that the metal conduit connected to the junction box prevented the much larger outlet from sitting flush with the wall, so back went the old outlet and off to Amazon went I.I was looking for a lower profile outlet when I came across the Snap Power and figured "Amazon will take it back when it doesn't work".Silly me, it's great. I pulled the original face plate and took a quick look to ensure that the old outlet had contacts on either side. It did so I turned off the breaker - which naturally killed the lights in the room because of course it did - screwed the Snap plate on, obsessively fiddled with it to get it level, and reset the breaker. I'm a poor typist so it really did take about as long to do as it took me to describe in the previous sentence.I've got a little USB power meter to check chargers and what not and it shows a steady 5.16 v at 4 ma - sue me I don't know the proper abbreviations :)It's a terrific little idea and I wish I'd thought of it first.Also if you look at the photo pretend that the outlet itself is as shiny and pristine as the plate. I feel kind of slovenly now :)

Most other brands of this type of usb outlet cover that I've seen provide two outlets, on on each side of the bump at the bottom, the snapons only have one, this is disappointing but not a deal breaker, as I only need two usb ports on a few outlets.The fingers that contact the power in the outlet are very small and positioned so that the outlet will only work when in installed one way. If your outlets are installed to code (what many people would call upside down, with the ground at the top) then you can only install these with the usb at the top of the outlet. Because of the inflexibility of the installation it can be difficult or impossible to plug in a right angle plug or some power supplies at the same time, since the bump would interfere with the appliance or cord and mounting the usb port the other way doesn't work.All in all this style of usb outlet cover is an excellent way of resolving the growing need for usb power in American homes and offices, but these SnapPower ones have done a very bad job of it and you should invest in a different brand.

Great idea but it's only a 1.0 charge so it's very slow!!

It's a great concept and that's the reason I bought 3 of these. 2 work; 1 doesn't :( I don't know what the problem is. I tried to adjust it but it just doesn't work. There must be something that maybe insulates the prongs too much...? No clue... The other 2 work fine. But I do have to say that for this price, they're only 3 starts.

I have not posted a review from the moment I bought this product. It now serves as an outlet faceplace in my bedroom. It does not work as stated. I have tried numerous outlets but could not get it to work. I live in CA and have standard outlets in my house.

Does not fit properly on my outlet
