Power bars aren't the sorts of devices that are generally designed to be portable, yet here we have the Quirky Contort v2 that seems to ask to be carried around with you. The compact wall socket extension offers you a single North American electrical outlet and a pair of USB ports so that you can juice up three gadgets, rather efficiently. When you go to use it, the flexible gray plug easily nestles into even the most chaotic power points.
The vaguely oval shape of the contraption is only just deep enough to accommodate the insertion of a three-pronged cable; around its perimeter are edges that encourage you to treat the object like a wire spool. Wrap your iPhone cables around it to manage excess length or to prepare the Quirky Contort v2 for storage in your bag.
