  Thanks TA, I was one of those that missed out last week.

    I'd be quick. As I said, stock everywhere but don't be surprised if DSE changes that soon :)

  Finally got a Jackson world adaptor. Been wanting one since these kept coming up and kept missing it.

    Looks solid in most respect, only downside I see to this is that it doesn't have an earth pin, so cannot be used if you have an Australian 3 pin plug

      Apparently it's not legal to sell a worldwide adapter that has an earth pin (since some countries don't use them, which could lead to you thinking a device is earthed when it is not)

        This looks a little flimsy to me, anyone got experience with these, and don't need one any time soon, whats the usual price?

        @yacman:

        They are about $26-$30 normally

      None of my devices I travel with requires it. So I'm all good.

    Be careful with these. I got the same device but different brand from Changi airport and it died when it was used daily in the U.S.

    Never again!

    This has lasted through 3 continents and almost a dozen countries:

      If it craps out, I get a refund so not too concerned. I also have some smaller cheaper ones. I mainly wanted the USB charging.

    Once you have it, store it beside your passport, preferably put it into a clear plastic bag with your passport.

    Otherwise, when you finally need it, you probably wont be able to find it.

    Alternatively, put a post-it note inside your passport, saying where you stored it.

  I thought this might happen just after buying one full price. I'm psychic. Or Dick is predictable.

  Apart from delivery time, any reason not to get this instead? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Travel-Plug-Adapter-Universal-AC-…

    pw2002au on 24/09/2015 - 11:52

    Not really but I do find the Korjo ones a better quality plastic and connectors overall that the ebay ones which sometimes need some internal meddling with.

    You are only burning down a hotel room in most circumstances if the connectors play up ;)

    SirFlibbled on 24/09/2015 - 11:55

    The cheap chinese imports don't have standards ticks. I'd imagine Korjo products do considering their cost and are sold everywhere.

    I've found some of the generic ones to be super sloppy and actually fall out of sockets, which isn't ideal.

  • 

    Darkscythe on 24/09/2015 - 12:35

    The Australia pins on these tend to be thinner as per the China's standards for their plug. These are made to local standards so the pins are the thicker and won't fall out of our sockets.

  I like that the Japan one is sold out.

  I wonder why… :D

• 

  jasonrampage2010 on 24/09/2015 - 13:33

  Any cheap Japan ones lying Oz bargainers?
