I've been using Taymac covers for some time, they make a nice spec grade cover. There new multi mac cover is very clever, its horiz or vertical, and comes with adapters for different devices, to make a 16 in one. Its available in plastic or metal. I just ordered a 2 gang metal, it was $16.00 each, and 2 gang covers are hard to find.
Now even though its spec grade its still a bubble cover, and due to its nature can be damaged. But it does not look like the big wart on a wall.
Her is the link:

And the cover can be replaced.
 
They are great for brick installs, but they are worthless (won't even open) on vinyl siding. The problem is that when the siding people place what I believe they refer to as a "j-block" mount around the roughed-in box, the standard multi-mac is not as tall as the standard "j-block" so the hinge is obstructed and won't even open or close. I then use their competitor's product which is about 3/4" taller and does not have this problem. Taymac does offer a double deep option, but this is for the bubble, and not the body/hinge assembly, so that is of no use. This is great, however, when you need to install a pool twist lock connector and maintain w/p while in use.

I would buy them much much more if they re-designed the hinge so it would open once installed on standard vinyl J-blocks.
