Flat/ Slimline USB wall chargers

tjc589 on 17/01/2018 - 08:56

Hi All

Strange request, but has anyone found a slimline/ flay style of USB wall charger where the USB port is at the bottom not sticking out at the front?

Basically need to plug this in behind a side table and don't want to loose the few inches of space that is needed when you plug the ford at the front.

Thanks

    I bought a few these some years ago: https://sockitz.com.au

    Just the basic model. Designed in Oz to Oz standards. I rang the guy about heat dissipation and such and he new what he was talking about. Ended up getting 3 and they've been great. Very happy with product and service.

    Maybe that's the solution you're looking for.

      I've been tempted by those GPOs but I wish there were QC capable ones available.

      There probably is, haven't looked too hard… :)

    Thanks for that. Actually just looking for a normal unit that plugs into a wall socket.

    The plugs that come with Optus 3G modems are like you describe (I have one plugged in right now).

      Any idea where to get a spare?

    A couple of different options:
    Change the PowerPoint to one with USB ports built in. (Could be a tad pricey)
    Buy a powerboard that has a slim plug and plug into that. (Cheapest option)

    All the best :)

      Yeah that was my second solution for the powerboard :(

      Thanks for all the tips- think I will go with the cheap and lazy option

      I think that will do the trick mate- thanks very much for your help.
