Having a good surge protector can make all the difference when it comes to safeguarding your expensive electronics and keeping your cables organized. But nobody wants an ugly power strip with yet another cable, and their ports and outlets are often placed so close together that you can’t make good use of them anyway. You don’t have to deal with any of that if you pick up this five-outlet surge protector for just under $9 for Amazon Prime members right now. Deals like this one tend to fluctuate, so keep that in mind.

This surge protector can be plugged directly into the wall and offers no fewer than five AC outlets for connecting all of your favorite devices. You’ll also benefit from three USB-A ports and a USB-C port for charging phones, tablets and more, while an indicator will show that the surge protector is functional.

This model is white to match most homes, although the black one can be had if you’re willing to forgo the discount.
