Is there such a thing as a faux wallplate?

I've used keystone jacks to put in cable drops before, and they get the job done, but I'm curious if there's something like a keystone jack that allows for a front-open plug, like any other wallplate. Do they exist?

you mean like an access door to the jack?
 
No, not exactly. I'm having a hard time trying to explain this...

A normal wallplate just has a plug facing outward, yes? And you just plug straight into it?

I want to be able to do that with a keystone jack, which normally requires you to plug into the top or bottom of the jack.
 
Well, I want a wallplate-esque thing, but I want the jack facing outward.

The reason for all of this is because I need to wire up an apartment but I am not allowed to mar the walls - I could use keystone jacks, but I want it to look nicer and have a front-facing plug like a normal wall jack.
