Mobile phones are incredibly convenient -- until the moment they run out of juice. They routinely have to be tethered to the wall for hours at a time and often require you to carry a USB connector or a charger around with you. The PowerCurl Mini is a combination adapter and adjustable sleeve that compactly facilitate refueling and a place to tidily arrange those fussy wires.

The Quirky product was inspired by the [Apple](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-magnetic-charger) MacBook PowerCurl, but this one was launched specifically for the release of the iPhone 5. It's got a hollow center for the insertion of the necessary electrical hookup and flexible silicone skirting that enables you to wrap your [charger cable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/flexline-67w) or your earbuds around the PowerCurl Mini.
