    I use the Griffin brand dual USB adaptors as they're very neat and push almost all the way into the socket. They stick out abou 1/4", just enough to get a hold of it to remove it if you need to.
    No tacky led lights or chrome trims on them, just plain black, and they output 2x2.1a so are the higher powered USB's.
    I picked them up for about $5 each, Amazon has them for $7

    Just a note: The link brings up a charger with two 1.0 amp ports, so this is not a 2X2.1a. Also there is no mention that this charger fits the type B European receptacle. The Aukey product in my previous post costs $2 more but has these features.

    I hadn't clicked on the link for the Aukey one when I posted before. Visually it's almost identical to the Griffin, nice and plain. So many of them look tacky with led lights and chrome etc.
    I'm sure there's a 2.1a version of the Griffin, as I have a couple I bought in England, but the Aukey one would be just as good (or better if the 2.1a griffin one isn't available here)

    I use the Aukey in my BMW and it has served me well on many long road trips.

    Aukey and Anker make top-of-the-line automotive power supplies. Top two competing companies there, if you want serious quality, the link Ron posted in #4 is the way to go.

    Now if you have a Samsung device and want to support fast charging, things change a bit. Flush, you can only do the one:

    If you need dual, it has to stick out a bit:
    https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01B2BMIMS/

    Sticks out about half an inch / 14mm, size of pic is deceiving, it's quite small.

    Anker might have some options, didn't explore them for this, but their offerings almost identically match Aukey these days. By the way, iPads charge at 5.1A, so manage expectations accordingly. Phones charge well at about 2A, tablets or anything with a bigger screen though...
