The electrical device cover assembly of claim 1, wherein the base unit further comprises a siding flange coupled at the electrical device opening of the electrical box, the siding flange extending substantially parallel to a plane formed by the electrical device opening of the electrical box. 3. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 1, wherein the base unit further comprises a sleeve flange coupled at the electrical device opening of the electrical box and the electrical device opening of the base unit further comprises a perimeter, wherein the sleeve flange extends substantially perpendicular to a plane formed by the electrical device opening of the electrical box and along a majority of the perimeter of the electrical device opening. 4. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 1, wherein the base unit further comprises a face plate slidably coupled into the electrical device opening of the base unit. 5. An electrical device cover comprising: a cover plate configured to mount within an electrical device opening of an electrical box such that a sleeve mounting opening of the cover plate aligns with a box sleeve mounting feature of the electrical box; a sleeve configured to slidably couple into the electrical device opening of the electrical box, the sleeve slidable with respect to the cover plate, the sleeve comprising a sleeve mounting feature configured to align with both the sleeve mounting opening of the cover plate and the box sleeve mounting feature of the electrical box, and at least one sleeve hinge member; and a lid comprising at least one lid hinge member, the at least one lid hinge member coupled to the sleeve hinge member. 6. The electrical device cover of claim 5, further comprising a siding flange configured to couple at the electrical device opening of the electrical box, the siding flange configured to extend substantially parallel to a plane formed by the electrical device opening of the electrical box. 7. The electrical device cover of claim 5, further comprising a sleeve flange configured to couple at the electrical device opening of the electrical box, the sleeve flange configured to extend substantially perpendicular to a plane formed by the electrical device opening of the electrical box, the sleeve flange configured to extend along a majority of the perimeter of the electrical device opening. 8. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 7, wherein the sleeve flange is formed integrally with the base unit. 9. The electrical device cover of claim 7, wherein the sleeve flange further comprises at least one removable section. 10. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the sleeve mounting opening is on a side of the cover plate. 11. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the cover plate further comprises at least one mounting pin aperture. 12. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the cover plate further comprises an electrical device aperture therethrough and a box mounting screw aperture therethrough and wherein the box mounting screw apertures are keyhole slot apertures. 13. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the cover comprises at least a second cover plate. 14. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the cover plate is configured to accommodate a first electrical device type and the cover plate further comprises at least one removable tab, wherein removal of the at least one removable tab converts an electrical device aperture in the cover plate to accommodate at least a second electrical device type different from the first electrical device type. 15. The electrical device cover of claim 5, wherein the cover plate is configured to accommodate a first electrical device type and the cover plate further comprises at least one adapter plate, wherein the adapter plate converts an electrical device aperture in the cover plate to accommodate at least a second electrical device type different from the first electrical device type. 16. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 15, wherein the adapter plate further comprises at least one removable tab, wherein removal of the at least one removable tab converts the electrical device aperture in the cover plate to accommodate at least a third electrical device type different from the first electrical device type. 17. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 5, wherein a cord port is comprised in at least one of a surface of the lid and the sleeve. 18. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 5, wherein the cover further comprises a face plate slidably coupled into the electrical device opening of the electrical box. 19. The electrical device cover assembly of claim 5, wherein the sleeve further comprises a plurality of sleeve hinge members on adjacent sides of the sleeve and the lid comprises lid hinge members on adjacent sides of the lid. 20. A method of installing an electrical device cover, the method comprising: mounting an electrical box to a wall, the electrical box comprising a box sleeve mounting feature; coupling an electrical device into the electrical box; slidably coupling a cover plate into the electrical device opening of the electrical box over the electrical device such that a sleeve mounting opening of the cover plate aligns with the box sleeve mounting feature of the electrical box; sliding a sleeve comprising a sleeve mounting feature and at least one sleeve hinge member into the electrical box; coupling the sleeve to the electrical box through the sleeve mounting feature such that the sleeve mounting feature aligns with the sleeve mounting opening of the cover plate and the box sleeve mounting feature of the electrical box; and hingedly coupling a lid comprising at least one lid hinge member to the at least one sleeve hinge member through the at least one lid hinge member. 21.
