I don't know why I was thinking there might be a problem - I already knew that all USB based wall warts are going to draw the same voltage, and given voltage is the same, amperage only matters for a device that draws more current than the wall wart provides - and then only because it'll charge slower, LOL!
So we can use any wall wart intended for devices that charge over a USB connector for any of our devices.

My usual caution for aftermarket no-name USB power supplies: check the actual output voltage. I've been unpleasantly surprised a couple of times when the output was well outside the 4.75 - 5.25V (5V ± 5%) standard for USB 1/2.
