ELEgrp Receptacle USB Charger Outlet Review - Model R1815D60AAC-WH
Overall a decent combination outlet/charger. Installation may be a bit challenging given it's 1.7" deep (minimum box requirement is 15 cu. in.). There is only one hot, one neutral, and one ground terminal unlike a traditional outlet, which has one ground, two hot, two neutral terminals to wire through to another outlet/switch/box. Also, this receptacle can not be "split" so that one of the two receptacles can be switched. This model is intended for 15A circuits, but it can be purchased in a 20A version (model R1820D60AAC-WH).
Since the USB chargers provide higher Amperage than the typical 5Volt/1Amp iPhone charging block, be sure to check your device's charging requirements. Apple claims there is no long term impact to battery performance for charging an iPhone at higher amperage (for example using an iPad charger), but then I have to ask why they only include a 1A charging block with their phones.

Ratings: 125V @60HZ, 15A
USB charger Total = 25 Watts (5 Volts DC x 5 Amps)
Type A plug #1 = 2.7 Amps
Type A plug #2 = 3.3 Amps
Type C = 3.3 Amps (should not be used to charge/power a computer)

Available at The Home Depot.
