So depending on your particular car, an issue could arise.

I figure this is probably due to the manufacturing process needing to be versatile enough to support putting either the UK or US plug on the unit. I don't foresee this being an issue other than the device could potentially get caught up while sliding it in and out of tight spaces (such as a gear bag). I also found that plugging the device into the wall required more care since the prongs were looser. If I plugged it in too quickly (and not straight on) the prongs were pushed back up into their folded position! I suppose that reinforces the good common sense approach - be nice to expensive toys and their accessories!

In short, the VersaCharger Pro by BoxWave will serve the mobile warrior quite well. You'll find extra space in the bag, and will be able to charge most anywhere you go. Pair it up with a retractable cable and you're set. Users of VersaCharger may want to upgrade if their current power needs are not being met by the older design, or if they desire the USB port to be on the front.
