Ever Leave Your Phone Charger In A Hotel Room?

Here's a new version of a very useful gadget! It seems lots of people leave phone chargers in hotels, or public places where they plug them to charge a device. The folks at ChargerLeash came up with a solution to that left-behind charger cable. Here's how it works: First connect their ChargerLeash to your portable device; then plug it into a (USB) power source to begin charging. Now when you unplug your device from the ChargerLeash, an alarm will sound within seconds, alerting you to unplug and pack your power charger and it with you. This is also good when you use an AC outlet to charge a device at the airport or coffee shop. You'll get a warning that someone has unplugged your device. With certified connectors, the ChargerLeash is designed to rapidly charge and sync the latest devices from Apple, Samsung, Android, and Windows. But wait, now there's something new! If you plan on leaving your charger plugged in and just want to remove the device for the day, hit the SNOOZE button and the alarm will be silenced until you plug in your device again. The new model is called ChargerLeash Pro. If you have both an Android and an Apple device look for their soon-to-be-released two in one cable. (1/15) Prices start at about $20, and depends on what cable you need.
