Universal Charaging Ports

The Future-Proof Charging Nest Works Will All Current and Future Devices

— July 17, 2014 — Tech
This universal charging port by DODOcase promises that it won't go extinct before the next smartphone model releases. Unlike most charging stations, the Future-Proof Charging Nest is a universal charging port that works with all -- yes all! -- current smartphone models as well as future ones.

This minimalist wood charging port is made from all-natural orchard walnut and comes in a sleek and compact square design. The way this charging port is able to stay universal for years on end is through an interchangeable adaptor insert. Users can seamlessly plug in the cord for their iPhone, Samsung and tablets by simply swapping out the general phone cable. This way no matter what new phones you get in the future, you won't have to think twice about purchasing a new charging station.
