I ordered a 96W USB-C Power Adapter for my MBP recently and I'm looking into tech pouches/cases or other storage solutions for when I'm out and about.

These Apple power adapters are comprised of three parts:

  1. The cable, which is completely detachable from the power brick, so easy to roll up and store in a pouch.
  2. The power brick, which is essentially just a smooth, flat square block - yes, heavy and bulkier, but still fairly easy to store in a pouch without making it bulge too much.
  3. The plug head - the 'duckhead' that slides down onto the powerbrick. In this case, it's a UK 3-pin plug. The metal prongs are rigid and, unlike with some iPhone charger plugs, they don't fold down, they just stick out. So effectively, the plug takes up the space of a 5cm x 5cm x 6cm cube. This is the problem one.
I can't find a storage pouch with either the correct size or the structural integrity to absorb the pressure from the three prongs of a UK plug.

I know this isn't a big deal and I could just chuck the plug in my backpack separately so it's shuffling around loose. But is this what you all do? I'm just curious if there's a storage solution for the plug end that I haven't considered - even if it's a makeshift one.
