Introducing the Arlington BE1-5 Electrical Outlet Box Extender, 1-Gang, White, 5-Pack. This set of five outlet boxes is designed to make installation and use of outlets, switches, and other standard devices easier and safer. The boxes feature 4-inch square electrical boxes with plaster rings for single switches, and are made of flame retardant plastic for added safety. Additionally, these boxes are designed to automatically level and support outlets and switches, making them the best choice when it comes to packaging, ease of installation, build quality, and compatibility.
Lisa: The plastic is of poorer quality than you would find in your local home improvement store. With that said, it was also cheaper in price.

*K*: These were perfect for our tile back splash outlets in the kitchen. They fit the GFCI outlets just right where we didn’t have to rewire them.

Z.Lang: These were an absolute nightmare to use and thankfully only had to do 5. We had to cut them all because none of them fit in a regular sized box. Save your money and get the long screws instead

R. Petruna: There are no screws included.
Many of their product page pictures show screws. How hard would it be to include the LONGER screws?
It's a great product, but sheesh, what a cheap way to fail.

Amazon Customer: Although current manufacturers literature shows cULus listing, this was not marked on the parts as required. No manufacturer’s ID was shown on parts box, either.

CarefulShopper1: Nice easy solution for a common problem when electrical boxes have been installed below tile or wood paneling (and in some cases wall board) and are therefore not flush with the surface. Wood paneling is flammable so it is dangerous to leave exposed; Tile is not flammable but often provides an uneven or insecure surface for mounting the outlet or switch straps.
This extender box easily solves this. It just slides inside the electrical box and provides as much as 1.5" of extra depth. It has large edges that overlap the tile or paneling and spread out any unevenness. It came with really long 2" screws, but I find these to be about 1/2" too long for most paneling/tile needs so I just keep some 1 1/2" 6/32 screws around.
The only problem I've had was with an old-work situation where the underlying 2-gang box was comprised of 2 single-gang metal boxes that had been connected together but didn't align perfectly. As a result, the four screw holes of the extender did not align with the underlying holes. Fixing this wasn't a big deal -- the plastic is pretty thing so I just drilled the holes larger and widened them with a 3/16"-1/4" drill bit. It only took a few seconds. You...
