I had to look that up and I'm very tempted to get one.
When it was originally proposed as a design around 2010 or so, I posted something about it in General (specifically). One of the regular Nabobs of Negativity there dismissed it as unworkable and impossible to manufacture in a way that would meet safety regulations, drawing on the unerringly reliable source of their own opinion to justify their argument. I knew then it would be a winner

Yep, that's the one I'm going for. I'm off to a conference next week, so I'll be seeing how well it works at recharging my phone and iPad overnight - they'll both get a good workout as I don't bother taking my laptop to these things any more. I shall report back next Thursday

We didn't get where we are today by ignoring BS1363.
Due to the size of the BS 1363 plug, attempts have been made to develop a compatible folding plug.
As of July 2014 two folding plugs have been certified under specially developed ASTA Standards.[18] SlimPlug[79] which complies with ASTA AS153 and ThinPlug[80] which complies with ASTA AS158.
SlimPlug is available only as part of a complete power lead terminating in an IEC 60320 C7 unpolarized (figure-of-eight) connector.[81]
In 2009 the ThinPlug received a "Red Dot" award[82] for product design, the first product, also a power lead terminating in an IEC 60320 C7 unpolarized (figure-of-eight) connector[80] became available in 2011.
Mu Classic USB charger. Min-Kyu-Choi's first prototype of a folding BS 1363 mains plug, using the same principle as the Mu USB charger, was presented in 2009.
The plug failed to pass the certification procedure. <-
However, the folding USB charger does not have a mains lead and a BS 1363 certification is not necessary.
The charger is on the market since 2012.
The almost square Classic charger measures 55 x 60 mm and is in closed position only 14 mm thick.
