Simply Plastic - Wall Plates and Accessories

Works great and easy to install. The plastic looks cheap, but is only needed as weather protection. For the price this is a good deal. But nothing spectacular.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • No

Terrible UV protection!

I love these things and have a lot of them. I would give them a 5 star rating if I didn't have to keep replacing them because UV turns them yellow then they look like crap! Maybe I'll just start drawing them.

Pros
  • Slim design
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

breaks easily - 100% of my order

Ordered 3 pieces. 2 arrived broken in the hinge mechanism. I installed the third one and now it breaks again in the hinge mechanism the first time I open it, 60 days after installation. I contacted the seller who said I exceeded the 45 day return period. So be careful, this seller sent me 3 out of 3 defective items. Those special wall coverings are worthless.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • Defective

Exactly what I needed

This is exactly the replacement for the outlet covers in my nine year old house. The Florida sun is hard plastic and the sea air plays with metal. This outlet cover was originally installed nine years ago and the covers have snapped off. Since they only cost a few euros each, a lifespan of over five years is a bonus in this environment. They were easy to install. It only took me ten minutes to install three of them.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Doubtful

Great design but didn't fit

Would be 5 stars if I could use them. A really elegant hinge design that doesn't require a gap in the ledge at the top of the opening panel. However, it was too small to fit in my junction boxes (I took a chance and ordered it even though the panel dimensions weren't listed), so I had to return it. It would be very helpful for the buyer if the dimensions of the product were specified in the technical information.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for seniors

Really waterproof

I had another outside cover that literally died two GFCI sockets, one of which was high quality and weatherproof. In the spring I opened it up and saw pollen on all the cork liners and then I found out that water probably got in and killed them. I replaced it with this case and it seems to do a lot better at keeping moisture out. A third GFCI with a newer cap is still in service. I live in Rhode Island where it is very windy and humid and when it rains it goes sideways. This lid is just a cheap

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Quality
