Charger issues solved!
MANILA, Philippines – Heads up Apple users! Does your Macbook charger often heat up? Does it lie around, uncoupled and messy? Well this cool clip-on wrap is the solution. POWERCURL CORD WRAP
PowerCurl is a clip-on wrap accessory for the whole family of Macbook power adapters (Air,Pro,Retina, et al.). It makes it easy for you to pack-up without untangling a mess the next time you set up shop. ORIGIN
Made from rubber, it is an invention by Jeff Scholen who often leaves his charger all tangled up inside his bag. He just hated how unruly the power cord was. Always heating up, leaving a mess. CLIP-ON
The pack comes with a clip similar to the one found on your charger that enables the plug end of your cord to clip to itself. The problem is, neither of them really hold the PowerCurl well, specially when it’s jostled in the bag. SOLVES HEATING ISSUES
The PowerCurl also solves over-heating issues with the Macbook charger. This holder elevates it to improved air circulation around the device. THE BOTTOM LINE
On the bottom line, it is a simple and easy way of dealing with cable clutter inside your bag.
Although issues are solved, it adds bulk and takes up more space in your notebook case or bag, specially if you have the 85W version. Yeah, you heard that one right! It's bad news if you don’t have the luxury of space! COLOURED RUBBER
Since it is made of coloured rubber, the material easily catches dust and dirt, especially if you choose its lightly coloured variants.
Cool Tip : Mara Mercado, a colleague of mine keeps the unit inside a ziplock to reduce and prevent dirt from invading the holder.
The other problem is that many people use the adapter that plugs directly to the outlet. If you use yours this way, you’ll have to remove it from the PowerCurl to plug for power. Add the extension cord included with your macbook to fix this issue.
OVERALL
Overall, having lots of wires and all sorts of power cables inside my bag, this accessory makes it easy for me to grab the charger. This holder also allows me to pack-up faster.
The PowerCurl also comes in four different colours – Light blue, pink, orange and black. It also comes in three different sizes – 45W, 65W and 85W.
