The designer of the DockOff device took into account the fact that smartphones have to spend a great deal of time plugged in. Pretty much on a daily routine, users are hooking their mobiles up to their chargers and taking them off a few hours later.

Emre Caglar's design humbly accepts that sockets must remain shared spaces and it incorporates a detachable base with an extra plug built in. This enables you to connect any other electronic to a power source while your cellphone's being juiced up.

But if the location of your wall plug is awkward, the DockOff can also be hooked up by means of an extension cord and placed conveniently on a tabletop. As your handset fills up, the DockOff slowly ejects your smartphone as if the gadget were inspired by a toaster.
