I never charge my phone directly in public places. Instead I charge a simple powerbank I have, that then charges the phone. No idea how easy it is for that one to "be contaminated and carry something over", but being simple, basically no features, just charging and a Led indicator, I suspect the chances are at least a lot less.

Exactly. Which is why I have old fashioned earbuds with cable, and the moment I start travelling, I turn off my WiFi and if checking nail or messaging, I activate my sim card in the tablet.
I was actually joking....
