you can get this this - the brand is good enough

If you don't need USB ports but only a very trusted brand get Belkin :

I trust Belkin blindly but the sad thing is that they don't have any option with USB ports.

I wanted to buy one surge protector two months back, and had to settle for some "Super IT" brand (some chinese brand)

Anyway, you can try this too

Is it safe to use the USB ports on these power strips ? Can they do the job, if a electrical surge happens ? Theoretically speaking, even the wall charger is the exact same thing as these USB ports, but I'll need some assurance before I plug in my phones into those..

They are surge protectors, I think by virtue they would protect anything that is plugged to it from surges.

They have different ratings. Belkin, more the number of ports, higher the ratings.
