Blockhead Side-Facing Apple Plug

Product Description

They named it "Blockhead," which is cute & clever because this little module is a literal block that subs in for the existing pronged head of your Apple power adapter. But what the Blockhead accomplishes is definitely... [Read more]

DO NOT PURCHASE: Potential electrical hazard

I wanted to like this product because it was such a great idea, but like other reviewers, the Blockhead came apart and posed an electrical danger.

I usually keep the Blockhead plugged in, however when unplugging it for the first time from the outlet that it usually sits at, the whole assembly came apart. The worst part is that I have a non-functioning adaptor because the Blockhead won't come off my Apple adaptor since it fell apart and can't replace it with the original Apple prongs.

Works great. Just wish it looked a bit more professional.

This is a brilliant product. It makes the Mac charger brick so much less of a hassle to use.

It is very easy to put on.

I just wish it wasn't blue and that it fit around the edges a bit better. I suppose it is too much to expect perfection in the shape of it. It is pretty close so you can't really tell without feeling it. The blue really takes away from the premium look that Mac chargers have.

Please note that in some cases this products function could be replaced with a cable extender like: Replacement Part 922-9173 Macbook/Pro/Air US-CAN Power Adapter Extension Cord for APPLE which would cause it to plug into the wall with a 3 pronged connector instead of the brick.

Edit: 8-15-2018 Just purchased 2 more. I am 100 pleased with the product.

Original:

Works well in close quarters just as it was designed to do. It will become a part of my road warrior setup from this point forward. I do need to buy another for the Mrs. charger. That will be another purchase soon.

If your a road warrior this is a valuable product for your to go case. Its really useful for those hotels with plugins in the lamps. The typical duck bill is orientated wrong to use this particular lamp plugin spot. I try to keep my bag to a minimal complement. So the MacBook brick cord often fails to make the cut during packing. This little gem sure allows me keep things running at the desk.

Works great, but figure out where you are going to put it first.

This works as advertised, stays firmly in place and keeps the power adapter attached snuggly to wall unlike the original Apple plug. However, you'll need to consider where you are going to put it before you buy because it could cause the power adapter to block your outlets. If you are planning to put this into a power strip it will need to be the very last plug. If you're putting it directly into the wall outlet you'll need to point the adapter up if you are putting it in the top outlet and pointed downward if you are plugging it into the bottom outlet.

Great idea, just OK build quality

This is a great little mod for your Apple charging brick. My one small complaint is the build quality. It isn't perfectly flush with the edges of the power adapter so it sticks out a little bit. It also seems like part of it wasn't glued together properly. To me, it seems like getting this to conform perfectly to the edges of an Apple power adapter should be a non-issue. Maybe it was just mine.

HORRIBLE construction. Had it for about a week and the blue separated from the white part, potentially causing a safety hazard. DO NO BUY THIS PRODUCT!!!!

Love this thing. Works perfectly with my macbook charger. Charger used to stick out and wobbled because of weight distribution. This fits the charger perfectly and makes it hug the wall so it's much more stable and no longer hanging out in the way.

Apple should have made their MacBook chargers with this type of adapter in the first place!

This product is a must! No one wants their chargers to stick out from the wall. This makes it charging in tight spaces SO much easier. I would recommend this product to anyone who's asking.

Bought this for daughters new MacBook. She just started grad school and I thought this would be a handy little device for use in her handy little grad student apartment. Dad was right again.....

Have Apple? Get This!

I find the Blockhead to be indispensable: I will not travel without it. It addresses a basic issue with the way Apple's wall warts hang off electrical outlets.

Fit and finish is pretty good, color doesn't match so Ten1 Design doesn't even try, (smart) and the size is a little off from my charger, but I don't care because it works so well.
