Here is a super nifty little thing I was gifted by the people over at HelloNomad.com, so that I could review it and share it with you, the lovely people of the internet. It’s a charge key (they come in iPhone and android varieties) about the size of a key. It’s super flexible and resilient, you can basically tie it in a knot and it still does it’s job. It’s tiny, lightweight, and easily attached to your keychain.
I dunno how many of you are like me and work yourself to the point of exhaustion then pass out for the night without remembering to plug in your phone, but this thing has saved me on multiple occasions. And made me the cool and popular life of the party when friends have forgotten theirs as well. Especially as my phone gets older and the battery starts to show it’s age, having a tiny portable charge key I can clip to my wallet chain and forget about until and emergency arises is a lifesaver. The handsome new and improved model (I think mine is a prototype from the first wave) will run you $29 over on the Nomad site with orders set to ship in September.
The only criticism I would make for it is if you’re a dolt like me who carries a huge wad of keys that you’ve forgotten the function of but don’t want to get rid of because you know after they’re lost forever you’ll immediately remember what they unlock, it can be a little unwieldy to take this thing on and off your key ring over and over again every time you want to use it. But if that’s the case they’ve got you covered on that front too with the Nomad clip (shipping October 31st for iPhone and Android, $39 usd) a conveniently clipable carabiner chargekey.
So yeah, super nifty little gizmo, have enjoyed thoroughly, would recommend to anyone who wants to play cell phone games in all their downtime without their battery crapping out at 4 pm or having to remember to stuff a charger cable in their pocket every morning. Check it out if you are in the market for such a lovely thing.
