The tale of the magical self-removing safety casing, 29 Jun. 2012

On paper, this socket cover (and its larger double equivalent) look great - they're a pretty unique product that you can't get anywhere else and stop fingers turning off switches, rather than getting into them which is just as important. Unfortunately though, the truth isn't quite so rosy.

The problem seems to stem from the fact that there's no actual locking mechanism to hold the cover onto the socket; it has two raised edges on the inside top and inside bottom that hook over the socket, but nothing to actually hold it on. That means that while the actual flap section locks tightly and can't be opened unless you press both buttons in from the side (which is good), it only takes a tiny tug from the top or push from the side to dislodge the whole cover.

Single Socket Cover, 25 Aug. 2011
I bought this product, not because I have toddlers, but because I have wall sockets under my computer bench and it stops my feet knocking the wall socket power off switch! Ideal! Also I think it helps unsightly wall sockets look better hidden away. Whats more is that they are very easy to fit and just clip behind existing wall sockets front panel.Just one disadvantage is that I noticed some small wall sockets that have a small front panel, the socket cover only clips behind the top and not the bottom. Which means the bottom raises slightly when lifting the cover up.

Great Product, 28 Jun. 2011
This is a fantastic product, and exactly what I was looking for. Took only a couple of minutes to fit: loosen the screws at the front of the plug socket, then hook and clip the saftey cover over the loosened front plate, and screw back down tight.
