Will the transformer for a cordless phone stay plugged in on the side of this surge protector or will it fall out?

I have them all over my house to protect big ticket items; Computers, Washer's, Dyers, Ref., Stoves, etc.

@ "I have them all over my house to protect big ticket items; Computers, Washer's, Dyers, Ref., Stoves, etc."Good grief John, you're protecting "big ticket" items with a low-end surge protector which is only spec'd to absorb a 1000 Joule surge? You better read up on just how little protection this unit actually provides...fine for relatively inexpensive items but not for costly things like computers, big-screen TVs and the like. Also, I'm curious about how you're using this 15A device with dryers, stoves, etc. which don't run on 110V and certainly pull more amperage than 15. @ "I have them all over my house to protect big ticket items; Computers, Washer's, Dyers, Ref., Stoves, etc."Good grief John, you're protecting "big ticket" items with a low-end surge protector which is only spec'd to absorb a 1000 Joule surge?

There should be no problem, but if your plug from the phone is wide you will need to put an extension the surge protector, because is close to the wall.

I haven't tried it, but don't see any reason why it should not stay. The plugs I have used in the unit sockets are firmly in place.

Ella, you can leave it plugged in in definitely. With that said, if your going out of town, or won't be using it for awhile, I would suggest unplugging it, just to be on the safe side. One more suggestion... I would use a surge protector at all times on any electrical devices such as this one. Please know, that I did not like mine and it did not work for my needs. I am still awaiting Amazon to pick it up and refund my account. That being said, if it works for you, and you like it, then by all means, keep it and use it. I hope this information helped helped you out? If I can be of further help, feel free to ask any questions. I'll help if I can. Thank you, $BILL Ella, you can leave it plugged in in definitely.

the plug fits in the earphone jack on the top of the phone, and yes, that keeps it with the phone so it doesn't get lost

I use mine in the kitchen where a surge protector laying on the counter is not convenient. I have it on my toaster as well as the coffee maker.

Not unless you cut a larger hole. (That's what I did). But Safety 1st does make one for surge protectors.

I have mine plugged into the upper socket and have not pushed plastic on bottom into lower socket. If having it there disturbs you I would just plug into lower socket and not worry about it. Have had several surges here lately and the 3 types of protectors I bought from Amazon all worked well. It truly is a good product you purchased.

It's a pretty loose fit. I find mine will only stay in if the USB cable is plugged in, snug and secure.Overall not a great investment.

Mine is screwed into the wall plate and my outlet is immediately below it. As I remember the cord is wrapped around the inside about 3-4 times; my best guess would be about a foot long or less.

I have put in a surge protector in the top with the wiring. The biggest fault I have is that it is not deep enough to keep the top closed. I run the wires through the holes in from for charging my ipad and iphones.

No I do not but I do keep it plugged into a surge protector. So far, so good.

Yes, sockets may fall out if holder is shaken lightly. If holder was mounted on a wall surface securely, that wouldn't be an issue. Magnets seem strong enough to hold sockets when mounted vertically.

The transformer is plugged into a normal vertical duplex outlet and is oriented horizontally and will therefore not cover an adjacent outlet. Looking at it from the front in this configuration, it measures approx. 2.25"long x .75"high x 1.875'deep. The transformer is the "plug" and the cord exits it from the side (the transformer plug blades are not polarized so the cord can be positioned to go either right or left of the plugged in transformer. Also, I stated in my review that I couldn't get the light bar to rotate horizontally however I have since been able to forcibly break it loose and it now rotates although it is quite tight. A nice little light in my opinion. The transformer is plugged into a normal vertical duplex outlet and is oriented horizontally and will therefore not cover an adjacent outlet.

You take off the outlet cover by removing one screw. Then you plug in this surge protector and secure with one screw.

There's a little plastic peg that you could break off if you had to make it work in a side-by-side, but it isn't designed to be used with anything but a vertical double outlet. You couldn't put it on a double with a switch or get any use out of the cool flip down holsters in an upside-down outlet (but they make one that's almost identical, just without the holsters, that would work in that instance). Side-by-side aren't very common where I'm from... So, yes and no. It would "work", with slight modification, but you'd lose one of the biggest advantages (at least in my house, which I share with a toddler and three boisterous cats), which is that this unit comes with a screw so you can secure it to the outlet using the screw hole from the cover plate. This is especially handy because it keeps the unit from coming off the wall every time you unplug something. I never have to worry about visitors using it and losing power to my network by accident anymore!

A regular will do. Since it is heavy duty and does not unplug easily, I usually leave it plugged.

the cord is attached to the charging unit, I don't think it is able to be detachable and therefore unable to lose unless you lose the entire unit

I'd think it depends more on the outlet itself than the Anker. The outlets in my apartment were all old and NOTHING would stay in them. I replaced the outlet and the Anker fits in snugly and has never fallen out.
