Make: Online : Yet another device charging station

Yet another device charging station

There are a number of these neat n' tidy multi-device charging station projects floating through the interwebs. This one uses a cheap Ikea storage tub and features switches for each charger.

This looks ridiculous. Look at www.cpdocks.com. It only charges one cell phone, but it doesn't take up any of my counter space because it's attached to a wall plate. The cord wraps around an oval thingy and is out of the way too. I love it!

This looks pretty bad. You should have used something nice besides a plastic box.
