Does the wider prong fit in the upper part of a standard outlet, or in the bottom which would mean its height covers up the upper socket?

It is the way you are thinking - in the bottom outlet it will cover the top outlet! It does have a socket outlet that works well. So you haven't lost anything.

Sorry, I don't remember for certain (since it didn't fit my outlet and I returned it) but I think there are prongs for both upper and lower outlets. The manufacturer/seller could really help with better photos of the product including the back!

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

The plug (3 prong) is close enough to the bottom of the timer, that if you put the timer in the upper outlet, it will not cover the lower one. However, I am talking about a standard over/under outlet, with the ground prong below the other two. Other outlets may not be as friendly. I have not found one thing to complain about with this timer. It even keeps its setting for up to a minute, I think, while you replace the batteries. Perfection may be impossible to achieve, in real life, but this timer comes very close. That said, it is not the only type I use, because there are others that fit their particular purpose, as well or better, and are cheaper.

It's a regular 2 prong plug, where one side is a little bigger than the other.

It sticks out 9/16 of an inch, just a hair over half an inch from the outlet. Depending on how your outlet is installed, most outlets will add roughly 1/4 inch onto that, but I've seen some poorly installed ones that stick out further.

The plug-in is about 3 inches long and about 1 inch wide. If you can't plug it in on an end, it will probably cover 2 or 3 other plugs. My surge suppressor has slots that are sideways, so it is not an issue.

If the outlet is installed in the standard fashion with the grounding pin at the bottom, the plug veers right.

No.. u can either use the top outlet and have it up leaving the lower socket accessible or vice versa. No obstruction at all

It fits in a normal power outlet. It has a standard surge-protected two pronged plug-in.

It doesn't seem to block the upper outlet for a normal 3 prong grounded plug. A wall wart type plug might be a problem, but a normal plug fits in the upper outlet hole with the unit plugged in the lower hole. Oh, and it does work upside down, as elektrodragon mentions below. One of my outlets is switched, so I have it in the upper non switched outlet 'upside down' and a lamp plugged in the bottom outlet.

Standard base... a socket however blub size is larger then a regular fluorescent so if its covered there may be fit or heat issues.

It would depend on what you want to plug into the top socket, as bigger plugs might not fit, but no it doesn't officially take up both sockets (I can plug two prong plugs in the top socket but not bulky three prongs)

If it's plugged into the bottom outlet (in any orientation) or the top outlet (while sideways) there is access to the other open outlet for a standard 3 or 2 prong plug but not a large brick.

Its bigger than an inch, I have a pretty big plug in there and it fits fine. From looking at it, on each side of the outlet face itself, the interior has room for about the length of half the outlet on each side.

You plug it into the TOP outlet and the bottom outlet is still available. Plug it into the bottom outlet and it will COVER the top outlet as well. FYI: We use this to turn off a major appliance during PEAK times .. it has worked great and without fail.

Approx. 2 1/2" x 3". Ifplaced in the top socket of a double socket outlet, will not interfere with bottom socket.
