VCT VP-110 S. Africa Plug Adapter, White

Quite durable, but they can fall apart after 2 years of heavy use.

I purchased this 110 Universal Adapter for my trip to South Africa for the 2010 World Cup. The trip was awesome and this adapter worked perfectly and just as expected. I used it to charge my iPod, iPod nano, digital cameras and Blackberry with no problems at all. Be careful to note though that this item is only an "adapter." If the plug from your device does not at least say "Input: 100-240V" this Universal Adapter alone will not be enough. I brought along some walkie talkies on my trip and had to search around a local mall for a voltage CONVERTER becuase the walkie talkie charger base could only handle a total input of 110V. Just make sure you double check your device. If your device can handle an input of 100-240 volts, you'll be good to go in South Africa with this adapter!

Buy an adaptor from SKROSS instead. Just do it, seriously.After the second use on the first day of our trip, the face separated from the body.The prongs fit very (too) tightly in the socket, thus making it difficult to remove from the wall. This hastens the items failure as you pull hard on the body and the little plastic locking tabs which hold it together break and leave the body in your hand and the face with prongs stuck in the socket.Went to a local grocery store in South Africa and bought an adaptor from SKROSS. It is awesome - a two piece design which adapts first to 2 prong european plugs, then to just about every other plug. It was about $25 US.It's true, they sell adaptors everywhere in South Africa, and all the hotels and lodges we stayed at seem to have them. As long as no other guest is using it, you could rely on this. But, I would highly recommend getting the SKROSS, you'll never buy another adaptor.

This outlet adapter worked wonderfully for when we were on vacation to South Africa (Cape Town & Pretoria) and Botswana (Maun, Francistown, and Gaberone). The outlet worked with our U.S. cables for our Apple devices (iPhone 4 and 5, iPod nanos, iPad, and MacBook Air), camera batteries (Nikon and Canon), and eReaders (Nook and Kindle).It worked for all the hotels/guest lodges we stayed at except for the one in Livingstone, Zambia which uses the British rectangular prongs instead of the cylinder prongs used in South Africa. Luckily, one of our members had that particular universal adapter so we were able to charge all of our electronics for that leg of the trip.

They seem to be poorly built. I purchased 2 adapters and one fell apart during my first trip. Hope to have better luck with the second one.

This product appears to have been previously used. They were slightly dirty and there were some tiny tiny chips in the plastic. All in all, it was acceptable for the $3.99 price tag and it beats buying the $19.99 all in one converters that only handle one plug. I would rate my experience average or fair, but acceptable.

Easy to use, durable and priced right! Allows you to use most any US device in a foreign country with no problem.I used this with a MacBook PRO power adapter and it works flawlessly. Make sure your device is 110-240V AC and 50/60 hertz and this will work perfect.

It seems a little flimsy, but it held up over a month of use and charged fine converting American plugs to those in South Africa and surrounding countries. No complaints. I bought 2 because they're cheap an in case one broke, I'd recommend the same.

Worked just like I hoped it would, used over a three week period in Africa and not a single issue with it

Travelled to South Africa and this little gadget saved my life “figuratively speaking”

Bought two after reading that they could fall apart easily, to give myself a fighting chance. Chose them only because of the quick shipping. First one fell apart on first use even when trying to carefully remove from outlet. Second one followed soon after despite being very careful. Those three metal strips that came out of each one made it game over within first three days of a 14-day South Africa trip. Would not recommend. Thankfully, had two-pin adapter with me and was able to make do.

Fonctionne parfaitement bien.

It seems to made of two sections which snap together. If one is not very careful in removing it from an outlet (a tight fitting one) it can twist apart. Inside there are three small strips of metal which make required internal electrical contacts. If you lose these or re-assemble incorrectly then you can be without a functioning adapter . . . NOT GOOD if you need to recharge your cell phone or laptop. The two halves should be held together with screws or nut and bolt assembly for greater robustness.We managed to get ours together correctly after I found ALL of the metal strips which had fallen into the carpet and after several incorrect re-assembly attempts (one of which resulted in tripping the building circuit breaker!)
