More than likely a combination of the weight of these things and likely due to the fact that your outlet is well used and does not have the grip it once had - I'll not add any analogies here but I think you get the point. Those holes have been used often and are no longer "tight".

A simple fix would be to go to Lowes/Home Depot/ACE Hardware and replace the outlet itself. It's a relatively easy DIY job, IF you are comfortable working with electrical, have access to your circuit breaker/fuse box and know how to turn off that electrical outlet to work safely.

Here is an example of the newest COMMERCIAL Grade electric outlets on the market. These hold the wires more securely than the older stick in or even screw on wiring. Even if you go with something else, ALWAYS spend the extra money and get the COMMERCIAL Grade of outlet - most cheap builders/flippers just use the cheaper residential version of an outlet to save money but that ends up with a looser outlet and eventual replacement if sticking something into it everyday over and over. Save the residential model for a lamp in a living room that never gets unplugged!

Plenty of YouTube Video's that will explain how to change an outlet...

Oh, and Install your grounding hole in the DOWNWARD side to offer better leverage to your devices with three prongs. National Electric Code (NEC) does not require the grounding hole to be in any particular orientation and is legal everywhere.

How DARE you call my holes loose!

Construction convention is that ground is down on a standard outlet for exactly this reason, but it's up facing when at least one of the outlets is controlled by a switch somewhere. It's by no means a standard or code or anything as far as I am aware, just sort of a convention.

I will critique your comment though, this isn't exactly a fix to the issue. I mean you could spend a decent amount of time and money changing your outlets to commercial grade, but that still doesn't help you when you're plugging in to a power strip, or an outlet that's not in your own home. This is a folding charger block. The folding aspect is both contributing to the problem (although you can mitigate that added contribution by simply plugging the block in upside down) and it denotes that the intended use of this block is for travel. Otherwise why would the prongs fold in if not to save space when packing? You can't very well just change every outlet in every airport, coffee shop, hotel, etc into a commercial grade outlet.

Good quality charger, I have one. Solid for the price and good thermals, albeit pretty large.

Keep in mind that if two things are plugged in, PPS is unavailable, despite the specs listing otherwise. My Fold 6 won't do 25w PPS charging if anything else is plugged in.

Those look like they will work great at home/apartment - but not Bangkok!

I got one of these, and when I try using it, sometimes the charger would give a little spark sound. It charges, but every time there's a spark sound

Got a 3pk last time, within 2 months one stopped working during a business trip. My husband took it apart and the little circuit board burned in one corner. I only used them very occasionally, the other two have been barely used so far.

I got them last time, if you use it at 60W, they get super hot, I use it for a couple of minutes with my macbook, but I wouldn't know what's gonna happen if you keep using it for long periods of time. There was a time I couldn't grab it with my hand, you can get burned. Use only devices with 40W or less power requirement.

I just flew back from overseas. I'm thinking about bringing masking tape to keep my chargers from falling out the sockets on airplanes and hotels!

Having worked with several electricians over the years, recommending installation of the ground under the prongs is bad advice. If your grounded plug gets exposed there is nothing to prevent a dead short which could cause fire. With the ground prong on top, if anything hits it, there is no harm harm. If you want to be a DIY electrician think about safety over convenience.

Dead shorts trip breakers.

Either works.While the "metal object falls on it from above" scenario might be safer with the prong up, the more likely failure mode (he said) is for the plug to be pulled partly out and start to lever out under its own weight. In this scenario prong up leads to the safety connection breaking first while the hot connection remains connected. With prong down leads to the hot connection breaking before the safety connection, which is what you want.

I got the Otterbox chargers last time from woot. And they don't charge my S25 plus. They charge my A71 5G, but not the S25 plus

Very Strange. I have the s24 Ultra and it will "super fast charge" no problems.
