Smartphones and tablets are starting to show up everywhere in our house. You either have your own or a few that the family shares. Regardless of how many devices you have, eventually you have to charge it. It could be a mess with all the wires running around the house and would be much easier if the wires disappeared. thingCHARGER is a smarter and less messy way to charge all your devices. The charger is designed like an electrical outlet but with a charging dock located at the top of the outlet.
thingCHARGER is a charger that replicates the look of an electrical outlet. It comes with interchangeable charging tips that seems to support all devices regardless if it’s an iPad, Android device, Samsung smartphone or any devices in between. The tips are stored in the back of the charger making it easier to switch out when you need to change devices. The charger is designed to stack on top of one another to charge multiple devices simultaneously. Two USB ports are located at the bottom to charge other devices if needed. If my math is correct you can technically charge 5 different devices at once in a single outlet. Obviously the point of thingCHARGER is to keep the outlets free to use, but it’s cool to know I can charge that many at once.
Most of us use cases to protect our devices or just to make it look more fashionable, but that doesn't seem to pose a threat for the charger. There is an adjustment system so you can set the right height to charge your devices with or without a case and without it falling off or being too short to reach. It is stated that the stability of the charger is sturdy and your device won’t be solely carried by the charging tip. It is advised that if you have a larger device you should plug that closest to the wall and not on top of another charger. If you happen to lose the charging tips more are available for purchase.
thingCHARGER is on indiegogo seeking for more support. The charger has been under development since January 2014 and is currently in the process of making molds used for manufacturing. Dimensions for the charger are 3'' (l) x 0.8'' (w) x 4.8'' (h) and weighs in at 185 grams. For $29 you can get your own thingCHARGER. Note that the Apple lightning charger is sold separately ($12.99 for supporters). It’s also designed for other electrical outlets around the world so it is not just limited to what you see on video. You can expect delivery sometime before the second half of 2015.
