iDapt i3 multi-charger

It does not take much for even the most organised desk to become a web of cables.

However, the iDapt i3 can reduce clutter in two ways: it cuts down the chargers on your desk to a single power cable and gadgets sit on top of it to charge.

The i3 is versatile because the power connectors are separate plugs that can be rearranged across the three charging positions. The box includes adapters for devices that use mini USB and micro USB, iPods and iPhones, Nokia, Samsung and Sony Ericsson connectors.

The i3 is not limited to these plugs and more can be found on the iDapt website at €8 (£7) a time. There is even a charger for AA and AAA batteries, although this is more expensive at €15 (£13).

Overall it is a very good idea but one flaw is that the tips face only one direction. This means devices sometimes have to sit facing away from the user. With nothing to support the devices, heavier ones do not sit up themselves, and devices with charging sockets on their sides are a pain.

The iDapt i3 is cheaper than many multi-chargers and can reduce clutter but be prepared to buy extra plugs depending on your gadgets.
