Who makes these USB wall plates?
Any idea who makes these? I can't find them on the web. I'm looking to see if there's an upgraded version that supports fast charging. The ones I have charge very slowly.

I got two 120vac outlets with 2, USB ports, fits in a std outlet box or a shallow outlet box. $15.0 at COSTCO
Careful what you wish for. I also have two of those 2.1 A ones from Costco. I recently noticed that my iPad and iPhone get hot when charging from them. Curiously my Apple iPad charger says 2.4 amps on it; the iPad does not heat up when charging from it. Maybe it has a circuit in it to communicate with the iPad and reduce current when the temperature rises.
Interestingly enough, recently bought a 12 port 120V USB charger for DW, has 4- 1.5A, 4 2.5A and 4- 3.5A ports..
Her tablet charges slower on even the 3.5A ports than the supplied single 120V USB 2.1A wall wart..
Curiosity, required me to check the VOLTAGES with a meter..
Discovered that the supplied USB wall wart had a no load voltage of 5.56V and the 12 port charger had 5.35V..
Not ALL USB chargers supply the same VOLTAGE which can affect the speed of charging.. Too high of a voltage may affect the charging temperature, if the device was not designed for the higher voltage it may charge at a elevated temp..
Fortunately, the DWs tablet doesn't seem to get warm charging even with 5.56V..
