I'd recommend you just buy one of the many that just plug into the cigar socket. Make sure you get one with the right output for your need (some are just 1A, you may need 2.1A). You can get dual ones - I have several in my car - again make sure if you need 2.1A out of each socket you get the right one as often you'd only get his from the one. Most fit fairly flush. Don't get one with the 'useful' led on it, unless you want it.

As nu11eaf says, I got a couple of USB adapters that are such a perfect flush fit that they look factory manufactured/fitted.

I've got a double charger USB unit fitted to my front socket. It is more or less flush fitting and easily fits under the sliding cover in the front consul. It can't shut when a cable is fitted though.
In the cargo area of the XC90 I have a fridge plugged in the socket, but only when needed. Otherwise the rear facing camera is plugged in, probably 95% of the time. Often my phone is charging through a cable fitted to centre armrest, my wife charges through one with the adapter in the socket behind the gear lever and I might have a battery pack in the other. Another USB adapter in the middle seat area often charges one of two cameras which charge directly through USB with the battery in-situ. Most of the time only one or two USB points are in use at a time of course. All charge sockets are permanently occupied with either USB charger or device plus the front camera is wired underneath to the front charge socket.
