Review: I stuck it in what?

I got tired of sticking my kindle wire in anything that looked like it would fit. You can get in trouble that way. And you never know where those USB ports have been. I tried P.C.'s, old kindle chargers, a few Apple chargers, even the car USB port.I decided it was about time to be faithful to my kindle and let it know that I care. If anything needs to be repaired I don't want the techs to know I was promiscuous.To this day many people thing a USB is a USB. Sure many people know that there are USB1's and USB2's. But only when we moved up to them there electricity sucking tablets did we realize that all chargers are not the same. There are 5W or 9W. Most car ports and P.C.'s did not anticipate this and are of the 5W persuasion. I am not sure if there is any amperage difference.This critter, also anticipating travel has prongs that fold up. I have fun folding and unfolding its prongs (hope I do not ware it out.) I keep it in a carrying case with my power cable and ear buds so I know that there are not going to be prong marks on the kindle or my pocket.Now let's look at the tangible intangibles. It comes packaged in a rich looking container that has a picture of the prize on the outside. You immediately realize that some of the cost was put into the packaging that has that Christmas feel. There is a warning not to expose your adaptor or cable to liquids. So I get this image of holding your hand over the adaptor so it does not see you imbibing. Once freed from its container you again realize that more than price this is adapter is an elegant design. It is svelte and I even like having an official amazon logo. When the prongs are in their folded position it makes a compact design.
