A device which is equipped with a USB connection, and which is configured to receive a male USB connector, includes a housing that defines a channel therein. A female USB connection is positioned at an end of the channel. A slideable panel is engaged to the channel, and is slideable between a covered position and an uncovered position. In the covered position, the female USB connection covered and protected. In the uncovered position the female USB connection is exposed for use. Alternatively, the device does not include the channel and the panel is made up of one or more leaf covers.
