I have been thinking about making up some of these for my travel kit for a while, but Mars found 'em first: USB Condoms. Cut the signal lines on a USB connector so that you can charge without risk of someone exploiting your phone. The problem is that so many manufacturers these days are using resistors on the signal lines of their chargers to tell the charging device things that this isn't the panacea one might hope for.

Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
