Magnetic Charging Cable Docks

The Stay Device by Makoto Shibuya Secures Tech Cords in One Place

— March 3, 2016 — Tech
Keeping each tech cord handy is a priority to many consumers, making the Stay charging cable dock by Makoto Shibuya an elegant accessory to have on-hand to keep cords stylishly organized. The device is a dapper metallic cube that adheres cords to it using a magnetic pull. The magnetic attachment keeps cords locked into place so they can easily be pulled and used when needed.

The Stay block is an ideal accessory to keep the numerous cords that come with tech devices organized. The block is small and minimalist in design relying on magnets rather than clips or adhesives to keep cords in place. Since most cords already have metal in them, the cables stick automatically to the block and stay in place until removed for usage.
