You mean this overpriced TUMI adapter?

Kensington sells the same adapter for much cheaper:

For $10 more, you can get a version of this adapter that features a detachable "faceplate":

Two faceplates are provided - a power plug faceplate and a second faceplate for USB devices. That's right boys and girls, you can use this adapter to charge your iPod, mobile phone, etc. via USB cable as well as plug your multi-voltage laptop power supply into that funky 60's era Soviet wall plug.
