Default Ciggy lighter/USB adaptor

Anyone know of a decent site that sells these? Right now there are some outrageous prices on sites I have came across. I am looking for one so I can have a spare i Phone charger in the second vehicle here and also in a pitch be able to charge my ecig on road trips.

I got my extra one from Ebay. I don't remember exactly how much I paid but it wasn't much over probably $10. I think I even got free shipping.

I managed to check out a few random places, even craig's list if you can imagine it but most that I am seeing are bulky and I need a straight one. The area in the car for where I need this is only three sided.

The one I have is an inverter - has a wire so "straight" or not isn't an issue. It has two places to plug in regular plugs (like for laptops) and one USB slot. I can't remember where I got it, but I *think* it was Walmart.

Wal-Mart has them. I bought one that has three outlets last year for about $19 and it's been working fine ever since. I use it for my cell phone, my laptop and my GPS.

I avoid the cheap and the eBay variety. I had one that blew my fuse and another that exploded and burned out the cable that was plugged into it.

I am hoping to find something less on the bulky scale as we do not have the room for it. If the console was laid out in another way it would not be such an issue but sadly they felt like being all "creative".
