Any recommendations for a two port USB travel charger
I've already got a two port USB UK charger but would like a travel one so I don't need to take extra adapters to US / EU.
I've looked through the four port thread but they were all a bit big for me (unless I missed one)
I quite like the neatness of the Amazon travel charger but it's single port only -http://amzn.to/1SLET04
Any recommendations for something similar with two ports?

I have a re-wirable Power Cube and I love it. It has 2 USB ports; charging my iPad and phone was quite zippy.
It is a bit square and bulky, but it always seems to fit in a corner of a bag somewhere. And I do use it at home as well, and I've bought several of the extended Power Cubes, without the travel adapters, as well. It's a really good design.

I'll also add that I have this Anker 4 port charger and it's only about the size of two OEM Apple iPad chargers.

This is what I use. Cheap and has worked well for 18 months now.

I have this . I like how it sits flush with the wall, and the ports run parallel with the wall; beneficial when outlets are behind furniture.

Thanks for the recommendations…
I've got a 5 port Anker at home, so will get a friend in the US to order me one of the two port ones (doesn't appear to be available in the UK, and Amazon US won't deliver it)

The OP doesn't list the devices being used but, if using a phone that supports it, I'd highly recommend something with QC 2.0. If using iOS decives or other non-QC 2.0 devices, I'd just pick a reliable 4.8a/24w charger from the likes of Aukey, Anker, Tronsmart, or the like as long as it has auto-sensing ports and solid reviews... there are plenty to choose from that are roughly the form-factor of a single-port iPad charger. While the 2.4a/12w Aukey 2-port charger mentioned is indeed extremely small, I don't think I'd want to suffer through the slow charge speeds it would produce with 2 modern devices attached, especially if one of them is a high-draw device like a Tablet/Phablet/etc.
I personally travel with an (1 x QC 2.0, 2 x 2.4a adaptive ports) as my ONLY charger, with the QC 2.0 port for my phone, one 2.4a port for my tablet/laptop hybrid, and the third for mixed use (such as charging various USB battery packs, android wear watch, etc). It's definitely not the smallest USB charger out there (a little smaller than a deck of cards, about 1.5x the thickness) but it's the ONLY charger I need since it handles what I use as my laptop, my phone, and has another port left for misc use.

Will this charge an iPhone 6 and an iPad Air II at the same time at 2.1A high speed?
