New Powerstrip Shape With POWERQUBE And USB Slots

Kickstarter Friday - Protect your devices with power stripe cube


PowerQubeWe have all seen the power strip, that straight line of plugs which gives you protection for power spikes. It does the job, but is not exactly the easiest thing to work with. That is because of the inflexible shape of your basic strip. We have seen some interesting ones this past year, but we are now seeing one that seems to really provide a better way for our mobile society. This is in the shape of a cube which is somewhat different and it comes with 3 USB slots for charging up mobile devices. It is called the POWERQUBE.

This week's KickStarter project is the POWERQUBE. And the POWERQUBE sure looks different from what you are used to seeing in a power strip making it much more appealing because of the shape. With a total of 6 power outlets and 3 USB slots, you can be charging up your portable devices all at the same time. The POWERQUBE is 5.5 inches square and 2.75 inches tall. Very compact and not bad to look at either.

If you are mobile like most of us, you have a laptop, at least 1 tablet, smart phone and possibly an iPod. There are potentially more devices that others may have. But, with the POWERQUBE, I can be charging up all my devices and potentially that of a friend at the same tine. With a 5 foot power cord, I can have this set on the desk quite nicely and it looks like it fits in.

The POWERQUBE KickStarter project is set to end on July 14th with estimated dates for shipping to contributors in September. If you want to join in and support a worthwhile product, head on over to the contributions page for POWERQUBE. Contributions of $30 and above will get you your own POWERQUBE to be delivered in September. The $30 contributions are running low and may be gone by the time that you read this. You can still participate at the $35 level. Take a look at this one as you are going to be seeing more of it.
