Sleek Socket 3-Foot Ultra-Thin Electrical Outlet Cover

The Sleek Socket is a handy three-outlet power strip that stays out of sight while leading into one simple white outlet cover. The upshot? You can have up to three devices plugged in while also covering up the outlet powering them.

The Sleek Socket gives you more space against your walls, since you'll no longer have a bunch of plugs bulging out of your outlets. It also has a 3-foot cable that can easily be hidden away behind your electronics, clamped to your baseboard or stowed behind your workstation. The end result is a power solution that blends into the background — with outlets that "look so much cleaner," as one shopper said, adding, "Love how minimal and clean these make our home look!"

It's especially ideal for tight spaces or apartment dwellers whose leases prevent them from a more invasive fix. "[I] needed something simple and user-friendly that could quickly [be] installed in my rental," shared a savvy buyer. "This was honestly such a good option and it is not super noticeable! Love it ... A great option for those who are renting."

"I had no idea these existed!!" raved one fan. "They work great behind a shelf or dresser, they allow the shelf to be pushed flush with the wall and still have three things plugged in!"

Another shopper gushed, "I saw this online and thought it was a great idea to solve the issue I was having — due to the outlets situated behind the couch, plugging in anything such as lamps and chargers would cause [a] big space between the wall and the couch. But with this neat little solution, now everything sits flush and [there's] nothing to be seen. Works great."

The Sleek Socket can even help baby-proof. "Super easy to install and [the] perfect length to keep out of our new baby's hands," raved a parent. "The way the room got set up, the outlets were always near the crib. This is flat enough so her little fingers couldn't get behind it, and allowed us parents to sleep with ease. Highly recommend."

"Don't get me wrong, I love this outlet cover/extension cord," said a generally satisfied reviewer. "It hides the plug-ins for our TV wonderfully, and we have been talking about buying more for the house. The only complaint I have is that the adhesive that is used to hold the cord to the wall took the paint with it when it was moved."

"I really wish they would make a TV mount option with a longer (10- to 12-foot) cord," said a buyer. "Overall the product is great, just didn't fit my specific needs."
