This is one of those “this is so obvious I wonder why nobody thought of it before” ideas. Excellent. Any idea when some manufacturer is going to take it up? You deserve to make a fortune from the patent.

Martin – ” Has a Euro/US version been designed?”

I think that was the inspiration – the US plug especially is tiny, and folds in on all apple adapters. The EU plug is hardly troublesome. It is surprising when you move countries a bit how big the accepted UK plug is (partly from the earthing standard that very few other countries have)

the fuse is in that cute red circle down the spine of the plug – you can pull it out

i had the chance to see this first hand with the guy there explaining it to me, he was lovely, and this is such a beautiful and useful little thing

Min-Kyu

GRRRREEEAATTT job, from one Industrial Designer to another- you have hit the sweet spot!

However, for technical realization, you must be careful with the way the electrical wires are articulated and articulate, as it is easy to fray their insulating jackets. This causes fires!

Great job!
