The USB Condom is now shipping. What this hardware device does is to protect your USB devices from "Juice-jacking."
Juice-jacking refers to the practice of stealing data or uploading malware onto your devices when they're being charged in a malicious USB port. The device is basically just a diminutive USB dongle with its data pins disabled.
You can snag a USB Condom in Type A, Mini B, and Micro B flavors.
