Part of the point I am making is that it is UL listed, would be able to be installed commercially and by an electrician in new residential construction. Its not a Chinese piece of crap like all that stuff on ebay. Not all usb chargers can be taken equally either. You get what you pay for and a $10 usb wall plate charger is going to probably have pretty bad voltage ripple and the other problems that make crappy chargers crappy. If a client came to me and said I want usb ports in the wall this is what I would spec and I could sleep soundly at night knowing its not going to ruin his iPhone or burn his house down.
EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/Leviton-T5630-W-Tamper-Resistant-Receptacle-125-Volt/dp/B008O11IEY/ref=pd_sim_hi_10 heres a cheaper one too. Its pretty obvious its that expensive because they had to fit that transformer and everything for the USB in a decorator outlet and still retain the duplex plug.
These are even nicer. You don't have to use a power brick, it just replaces the existing outlet.
Came here to say this. I opted to install one with a pair of USB ports replacing one of the 3-prong receptacles, rather than the more common models with USB ports flanking the usual pair of receptacles (non-referral links to random products for reference). That way I know for certain I can plug in one "regular" thing (a wall wart for a cordless house phone in this case) and a pair of USB cords.
I have the exact same Leviton USB outlet in our kitchen at home! Works great, and as other's have said, the H outlet supplies 2A so you can charge iPad's and larger devices. So much more convenient than having to use a wall wart and it took about 5 minutes to install.
Mine is installed on a GFCI-protected circuit and works fine, too - tripping the GFCI master outlet causes this one to go off as expected.
I got mine from Amazon for about $20: http://amzn.com/B008O11IEY?tag=amz-link-20
You could use these outlets instead.
I have a galaxy note 2 phone that charges at about 1.7A so I have 2A chargers scattered everywhere(even a few wall sockets with 2A USB plugs), so I was looking at the microusb chargers on fleabay and thought about bypassing the DNA's charging circuit and extending the SMT LEDs somehow integrating them into the case. The DNA wouldn't know when it was charging, but I could get an amp worth of passthrough on it.
and yet he managed to link to the wrong ones... sigh
here ya go
