I also have the problem that my laptop is a grounded cord (three prongs), and most of the products out there are non-grounded meaning it won't fit.

I'm thinking about just not using my cell phone (overseas I will only be using as an alarm clock) and buying a tiny travel alarm clock run on batteries. My cell phone is the only device I have that doesn't accept 110-240 volts, so I could lose the requirement for a transformer and buy a grounded adapter set.

If I decide to get the transformer I run into a problem since I can't find a solution that allows me to use my grounded laptop plug with a transformer.

Decisions...
