Svelte USB wall charger
I am looking for a smaller USB wall charger, to always carry on my person. Currently I use the charger which ships with the Kindle e-Readers:

It's about 6cm X 3cm x 2cm which seemed unbelievably tiny the first time I saw one, but that was several years ago and my expectations have changed.

Cube style chargers seem to be in vogue, but online listings often do not give the dimensions, and I really prefer the flatter shape of the Kindle charger compared to something like this:

I suppose what I would really like is a device similar to the Kindle charger with retractable prongs. I haven't seen anything retractable, only folding, which suggests they may be a cost or safety issue with a retractable design.

Anyone know anything?
