The Power Strip Reinvented

by Joshua Fruhlinger on January 6, 2008 at 01:50 PM


Sometimes we see a simple innovation to an everyday product and think, "Why didn't we think of this?" Kreative Power's Powramid power strip is one of those products.

Kreative simply took your standard power strip and made it circular. *Yawn*, we know -- but wait: This basic change in design, complete with 45-degree angles for the outlets, means that wall-warts (power transformers on the plug) and strangely-shaped chargers are no longer an issue. Oh - and you know how you sometimes accidentally step on your power supply's switch, shutting down all your gadgets? The Powramid has a (again, simple) switch cover that keeps you from such accidents. Need one now? Wait a month -- they'll be available in February.
