I'm trying to look for a power extender with a specific design

It's meant to be used in a coffee shop-setting (limited space/plugs), need to be able to power my phone (750mA microUSB) and laptop (2A microUSB), and extend more 110V ports

ideal design: portable, compact
example:
82-641-417-02.jpg


Must-haves:
USB port(s) with at least 2A output total
110V plug(s)

Nice to have:
rotating/swivel/flip plug or extender cable so that it doesn't block the any other power plug (this can be added via something like this, so it's not a must-have)

This is probably the closest item
BESTEK Portable charger with portable wall cable, 6A USB total with 2x2A, can be use anywhere in the world... unknown brand though, and max 200W of devices connected b/c of the transformer

Item's that I've seen that almost fit the bill

Mediabridge Portable Surge Protector no swivel/extender cable, only max 2A

Belkin mini travel swivel 2.1A no extender cable, only max 2.1A

REI mini travel no extender cable, only max 2.1A

TRIPP LITE TRAVELER3USB 3best design for power cord - but only 1A max

Philips SPP4030A/17looks like the clone of the Tripp Lite above (maybe one is the OEM of the other), no info about max amperage either

Monster MP OTG400 BKgreat design, but no USB :(

Philips SPS2150WA: unknown amperage, not that great design

Philips USB looks like better max amperage (>2A)?

Monster MBL MP OTG300says 2A + 1A for 2 ports, but really only 2A max

Outlets To Go with USB good design but only 1A

This?

I found their products fairly sturdy even with the low price.

yes, but they either are (2x or more USB output with >2A per port, but no 110v plugs), or 110V plugs but the USB ports don't have enough amperage (like this monoprice one

I want to have both - a compact device that has 2xUSB with 2A each, AND extra 110V plugs -- like http://www.amazon.com//gp/product/B0...?tag=anan06-20 but from a better company with no transformer. I don't want to carry around two devices
