I bought one of those panels a couple years ago. Was going to cut a 4" square into the side of my cabinet. So glad i never pulled the trigger. For me the switch and voltmeter never gets used. Might eventually cut a 1" hole and install just the USB.
Another idea for people in the market is to purposely buy a 1a USB outlet. Because some devices claim to only use the included charger which is sometimes only 1a. That was the case for my Verizon jetpack wifi device. Sales guy said they get a lot of returns because people cook and expand the battery from using too high of charge. Same with the wireless ear buds i just got. I have them plugged into the inverter using that white charge block that is only 1a. So it would be kinda nice to have a low power 1a USB to accompany a dual 2.4a (or whatever is highest right now...got to think some can now do 9v fast charge). I personally would like a dual 1a USB and a dual 2.4a. With also the inverter to charge laptops when not on shore power.
Here my procrastinating setup. Just kinda free willy nilly for a good year or two. I push them back behind the lip while traveling.
