Never look at unsightly cables again with this #1 Amazon bestseller for $24

It’s a nagging flaw of the technology-driven world we live in: the more gadgets we have, the more unsightly power cords hang, get tangled, and wind around our homes. If only there were a simple solution to clean up the mess. Spoiler alert: there is. Here’s the Sleek Socket Ultra-Thin Electrical Outlet Cover, an inexpensive way to clean up the rat’s nest that’s gathered around your electronics.

Sleek Socket is a handy three-socket power strip that remains invisible while leading to one simple white socket cover. The result? You can plug in up to three devices while covering the socket that powers them.

For $24, the Sleek Socket frees up wall space by eliminating the clutter of plugs sticking out of your outlets. It also has a 3-foot cable that can easily be hidden behind electronics, attached to a baseboard, or tucked behind a workstation. The end result is a power solution that blends into the background — with outlets that “look a lot cleaner,” as one shopper put it.

This is especially ideal for tight spaces or apartment dwellers whose leases prevent them from taking on a more invasive solution. “I’m a renter, so making a huge hole in the wall to hide the cables wasn’t an option,” shares a seasoned Amazon shopper. “After searching for something to help with the look of the cables in my living room, I’m so glad I came across this outlet. I just installed it last night—I’m extremely happy with the look, and the adhesive works really well.”

“Beautiful! Exactly what I expected,” raved another of the more than 50,000 five-star reviewers. “I’m using it to move my switch socket to the corner of my light. It turned out so well! It’s clean, neat, and incredibly easy to install.”

“I’ve been looking for ways to move an outlet to the top of a shelf or next to a router,” added another. “Instead of running wires behind a wall or through shelves, I saw this and tried it. Honestly, it’s the best alternative if you want to move an outlet with an extension cord.”

This customer, who was fed up with plugging in cables, exclaimed, “I saw this online and thought it was a great solution to my problem — because of the outlets behind the couch, plugging in anything like lamps and chargers would create a huge gap between the wall and the couch. But with this clever solution, everything is now in its place and nothing is visible. It works great.”

Sleek Socket can even help keep baby safe. “Super easy to install and the perfect length to keep our new baby out of her hands,” raved this parent. “We set up the room so that the outlets were always near the crib. It’s flat enough that her little fingers can’t get behind it, which allowed us parents to sleep soundly. Highly recommend.”

“I really wish they’d make a TV mount option with a longer (10-12-foot) cable,” one shopper said. “Overall, the product is great, it just doesn’t meet my specific needs.” (Need something longer? See the 8-foot version below.)
