For me, part of the problem/annoyance was due to the length of the USB cables. We recently installed top and bottom cabinets in a nook, off the kitchen. Its counter has been designated for the base of the phone/charging station. I changed the outlet to the same one Mephisto linked, and got a multi-USB hub from Amazon; I also got several 1-foot USB cords so I don't have a rats nest. It's not perfect, but it's much better than it was.
