The heat thrown off in the process of going from 120volts to 5 volts goes somewhere! Is that outlet on an outer wall of your house, and it's 22 degrees outside? Or....
These are high efficiency switching converters so the heat generated is pretty minimal. Touch a standard USB charger and likely it will also be quite cool.
By the way, I read the reviews for the Hubble on Amazon and there are reports of not being able to charge the Samsung S5 phone:
[Link: amazon.com]"I bought this so that I could charge my Samsung Galaxy S5 and my partner's iPhone 5s via USB.
The iPhone charges OK.
The Galaxy S5 does not charge at all from the USB ports on this outlet. It does charge using the same cable and the power adapter in the power outlet. I have tried 2 separate USB cables in each USB port.
This is not a suitable for non iPhones in my experience."
"Like the title says, it won't charge the galaxy s5. I tried two different usb cables and two micro usb cables."
"I can confirm this - do NOT purchase if you have to charge a Galaxy S5."
