superCUBE

While some people like to carry around extra batteries or the factory chargers that came with their devices, others just want something small, compact and universal.

Kanex  DoubleUp

While it sounds like the name of an R. Kelly album and a famous chewing gum,DoubleUp by Kanex is a dual USB charger for iPad, iPhone, and iPod.
