Usb cable with a switch

I'm guessing you just want to control the 5v line in which case they should be easy to make up using inline lamp switches available at most supermarkets.

Don't use lamp switches. There are generally poor quality. High voltage can break oxidation - no problem, for 5V application you need better quality switches.
 
What about a USB charger hub with switch on the power cable between wall and hub?

Multiplug with switches per charger?

Or are these all coming from a PC USB port?

I've got plugin chargers which can accept usb cables.

I wanted a neat solution to switch them on and off and not switch on and off everytime I switch the wall socket on and off.

I've though about the hub with switch but they're like R300ish, the other option was to use the usb lamps with switches but they're expensive. The option of using a multi plug with a switch is my last ditch resort.
 
In the same situation here, I plan to take a short USB extender, strip back the insulation and insert a miniature toggle switch inline with the USB+ (5V) line and mount it in a box, so it looks similar to the adafruit solution. When I can find time.
