Default Switch plate not flush to wall

It is way faster and easier to use a dremel type multitool with a grinding
wheel. Believe it or not, it is easy to mark a line on the box (or use your
imagination) and follow the line around and "cut"all the way throught the
metal, cutting out a sliver. Tape paper all around the wall b/c its messy,
and be careful when laying down a still revolving tool. As with any job,
the more durable fiber-reinforced grinding wheels save you a lot in time,
effort, and money

I have an wall switch that sticks out about 1/8" at one corner. The wall
the switch is in is very thin and I think the box is probably too long. I
want to find a deep switch plate to compensate. Any suggestions?
