6 Charging Stations for Your Cell Phones, iPods and More

charging station, 3 items, pink

The only gadget I need to recharge regularly is my iPhone. But many families have multiple phones and other electronics that need recharging - and then a charging station might be useful.

Idapt has charging stations to handle two, three or four products. The i3, shown above, comes in silver, black and white - as well as pink; the i4 has the same colors, except there's no pink. [picture from Amazon.com] Update on Dec. 1, 2019: Amazon notes that this product has been discontinued by the manufacturer.

Pink must be in style; Refresh, from Bluelounge, comes in white, black - and pink. Update on March 19, 2014: This product seems to have been discontinued.

Blu Dot calls its charging station the Juice Box. Update on Dec. 1, 2019: I'm no longer finding this on the Blu Dot website — or anywhere else.

The Powermat (paired with a receiver for each device) allows you to do wireless charging. Different size mats allows you to charge one, two or three devices at a time. [via organizer Allison Carter]


jewelry armoire with charging station

And finally, Cost Plus World Market is selling a jewelry armoire with a charging station. The picture may be a bit confusing - that's a mirror in the top, reflecting the items which are charging. Update on Dec. 1, 2019: I'm no longer finding this at World Market, but there are different ones available at Chasing Treasure and WatchWinder Station.

The jewelry armoire is interesting. Although it wouldn't do me much good on mornings like this, when I walk out without putting my watch or other jewelry on. I'd bet that could be added to an existing armoire.

I have considered one of these. All three of us have mobile phones (cell phones) and hubby also has a MP4 player. I know the Tween will eventually want an MP4 as well. There's a limit to the number of power points (electrical sockets?) in a house, and charging via USB on the computer can be quite slow (and there's a limit to the number of easily accessible USB points too).
Thanks for investigating the options. Although we may have different options here in Oz, at least I know there is more than one choice out there.
