Rear cabin usb

Hi, wondering if anyone has fitted USBs into the back of the drivers arm rest?
There are 2 x 12v sockets in the front and one in the boot but nothing for rear passengers.
Looking to put something in that looks OM ish.
Thanks in advance.

I added a couple of USB slots for phone charging (as well as a charging pad) between the 12V sources but never felt the need to do similar behind the armrest. However, if I did, I'd run a 12V line along the inside of the centre console/armrest from the back of one of the 12V sources and create more slots. To turn 12V to 5V I use buck converters - easy peasy.

Sorry, I should have shown you an example of a buck converter with USB sockets already incorporated:
