Ahh sweet. Its only 2.5w x 1.7h x 0.56d inches! Now it looks like the prongs rotate, but don't fold in, correct? Even so, at such a small size, I can live with it.
Yes, I wonder if there is a fellow FTer in Japan right now who plans to fly back to the US soon
If not, I'm just going to buy 3-4 of them in a few days. Japan is unfortunately not a usual travel destination for me.
Thanks mikew99!

I took a closer look at the markings on my adapter, and I found some exact matches to the part number (WH2123) on Rakuten/buy.com's Japanese site (it's called a "snap tap"):
global.rakuten.com/en/search?k=snap+tap
What's frustrating is that this item is widely available for less than US$3 in Japan, but at the above site, international shipping starts at US$12!
Perhaps somebody visiting Japan can stop by Yodobashi Camera and pick up a few for fellow FTers?
I'm not an electronics expert, but none of the electronic gizmos I travel with have polarized plugs, so I guess that for these specific items, it does not matter. For my laptop, I use an iGo universal AC adapter, which also lacks polarized plugs.
