Tech Tools: Power Tap

A USB charger with a twist

Phone chargers aren’t usually the most interesting of devices. They are just there, functional.

But there are a few that offer you the chance to at least let a little bit of that quirky personality shine through, such as the Power Tap.

The USB charger is shaped like a tap, but will do exactly what your standard charger will: power your phone.

There are indicator lights to show you if it’s charging your device (blue) or in standby (red).

And that tap part will allow you to turn the charger on and off – although you cannot control the power flow beyond that.
