Belkin SurgeCube 1 Outlet Surge Protector with two 2.4A Shared USB Charging retails for S$59 in Singapore. But during IT Show 2018, it was discounted to S$39.
I always wanted a power plug adapter that allows me to plug in a UK electrical plug and gives me additional USB charging. The Belkin SurgeCube 1 does exactly that. And on top of it, it has surge protection built-in.
The Evri 80W USB-C Charging Station retails for US$74.99 (S$99) and shipping to Singapore is an additional US$8 (S$11).
Evri is the USB-C product range from OneAdaptr.
After a successful launch of the Flip British Plug on Kickstarter, Oneadaptr announced the Flip World product range in November 2017. They offered a 30% discount for those who pre-order those products with the coupon code, WorldIn18.
Flip World product range has four products under it:
Bought the Anker PowerPort 6 5V/12A 6-Port Wall Charger on Amazon for US$20.49 (S$29).
Its usual retail price is US$26.99 (S$38) but because of an ongoing promotion, you can use the promo code, GEYC7LFE, and it will give you a discount of US$6.50.
Innergie PowerJoy 30C is the latest USB wall charger from Innergie.
It was announced in Computex Taipei 2017 and will be retailing for US$44 (S$61).
Bought the Energea Travelite 34W 5V/6.8A 4-Port Wall Charger for S$59 (S$53.10 after 10% member’s discount) at Bugis Junction’s Challenger.
This is a 4-port charger that is capable of a combined output of 6.8A. Two ports have a max output of 1A each, and the other two ports have a max output of 2.4A each.
Belkin Valet – Charge Dock for Apple Watch & iPhone is an exclusive item available to Apple Stores and Apple Authorized Resellers. It is retailing for S$194 in Singapore and is available in three colors, Silver, Rose Gold and Black. If I am not wrong, Rose Gold and Black might be an Apple Online Store exclusive.
It is expensive for a dock, and I will probably not get it unless it is an impulse buy, which is what I did.
Bought the Energea Amp Charger 17W 5V/3.4A 2-Port Wall Charger for S$26.90 (S$24.21 after 10% member’s discount) at Bugis Junction’s Challenger.
I am surprise that Challenger’s online store, Hachi.tech, is selling it more expensive at S$35.10, excluding a 5% rebate.
I backed the Flip British Plug on Kickstarter on 22nd November 2015. The project was funded on 18th December 2015 after raising a total of £28,115 out of their initial goal of £15,000 from 1,140 backers.
I chose the £14 reward level and shipping to Singapore cost another £5. So in total, I paid £19 (S$38).
Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock is retailing for S$118 in Singapore but I got mine in Bangkok, Thailand, from iStudio at Siam Paragon for TH฿3,300 (S$131). It is S$13 more expensive than Singapore. Even after the VAT refund of ฿215 (S$8.50), it is still more expensive.
The Apple Watch Magnetic Charging Dock is smaller (measuring at 10.4cm in diameter) and much heavier than I expected (weighing at 154g).
