Grounded Israel Adapter Plug To Charge Your iPhone

Israel has a unique socket type that accepts three round pins configured in a triangle shape. If you are traveling with a device that has a grounded (three prong) power plug, such as a laptop, then you will need a grounded Israel adapter plug in order to plug in your laptop into Israel wall outlets. Going In Style's grounded Israel adapter is named the GUI Israel grounded adapter*.

If you are traveling with an electronic that has a nongrounded (two prong) plug such as an iPhone, Samsung Galaxy phone, iPad or Kindle, you can use either a grounded or nongrounded adapter, however the nongrounded Israel adapter will be sufficient.  

Israel nongrounded adapter plug has two round pins. While Israel's grounded plug is country specific, Israel's non-grounded adapter is the same two pin adapter used all over Continental Europe in countries such as France, Italy, Spain, Denmark, Sweden ...

Going In Style also carries a USB nongrounded Israel adapter to charge your phone and table via a USB charging cable. Our USB adapter is a popular adapter because you can potentially charge up to three devices at once. Two USB ports on the adapter allow you to charge your phone and tablet and the AC outlet allows you to plug in your camera batteries, or laptop computer. 

*Note that each company will have a different naming convention for their adapters. Learn more about adapters and their naming convention on our adapter guide page or on our Going In Style adapter blog.

What Is A Moneybelt?

Remember, a money belt is only worth its value if worn properly – under your clothes. Keeping cash, a passport and a debit card in your money belt in your bag defeats its purpose. If you put your moneybelt in your bag and your bag is stolen, then so is your moneybelt. Wear your moneybelt under clothing.

Travel Money Belt Offers Peace Of Min

Travel Money Belt Offers Peace Of Min

Going In Style Adapter and Converters also sells popular travel accessories including moneybelts. Moneybelts are super convenient for traveling and add an extra layer of security as moneybelts are meant to be worn under clothing. So what is a moneybelt? 

A travel money belt is a portable safe used as precaution against theft while traveling. It offers peace of mind and is a safer option than a travel wallet because it’s hidden under your clothes. A bulky wallet sticking out of your back pocket can easily be pickpocketed. Think of it in the same sense as your underwear. You put it on in the beginning of the day and throughout the day it’s out of sight and out of mind.

Remember, a money belt is only worth its value if worn properly – under your clothes. Keeping cash, a passport and a debit card in your money belt in your bag defeats its purpose. If the bag is stolen, then too will be your money belt. Yes, thieves are aware of money belts, but it very unlikely that they will undress you to steal something – they are looking for items that are quick and easy to grab.

There are a variety of different money belt designs. They can be worn on different parts of your body depending on different comfort preferences. Here are a few of the most common money belt designs:

  • Waist Money Belts – the most common design in money belts, worn around the waist under clothes
  • Neck Money Belts – typically a pouch that is worn under clothes around the neck or across a shoulder
  • Arm Money Belts – small secret pouch worn on arm under clothes
  • Leg Money Belts – secret pouch worn under clothes on bottom half of leg, usually above the ankle
  • Hidden Money Pouches – a pouch that can be strapped to a belt and then tucked inside pants, shorts or a skirt
  • Belt Money Belts – an actual belt that looks like a regular belt with a hidden zipper pocket to slip in small items

Money Belt Reminder: you don’t want to keep all of the items you need for the day in your money belt. It will defeat the purpose if you are reaching in and re-hiding the money belt on a regular basis. Keep cash, one credit card and one form of identification deep in your front pockets for daily use. The money belt should be used for small personal belongings that are of most importance and value during travels. Some conventional items include:

  • Passport
  • Emergency Cash
  • Debit Card
  • Credit Card
  • Driver’s License
  • Travel Tickets and Documents
  • Room key
  • Emergency Contact Information
