Customers have become a lot more design-savvy nowadays, and, in most countries around the world, a less visually attractive product will always prove to be less popular than competitors with “cooler” external cases. For this reason, the device you'll read about as follows, namely the Juice Box, presented by Blue Dot, might be a lot more successful than other such gadgets you'll see on the market.

So, what really differentiates the Juice Box from the other chargers out there is its very simple, elegant and minimalist design. Hence, at first glance, what we're talking about here is just a mitered walnut box with felted wool removable top, the top part being used for storing the gadgets that need recharging in a very original manner.

However, the important part of Juice Box is underneath the wool layer. There, we can find a power extender, which allows users to plug in the power adapters of up to four different portable electronic products. The power extender connects to the mains power socket via a power cable, which enters the box through a small hole cut in its left side.

Another important aspect is the fact that it also sports an external cable management system, which makes sure that the charging cables will stay in one place, avoiding the unwanted clutter. Plus, it's not likely to occupy too much space around the user's home or office, since it measures 15.5 x 8 x 4 inches.

The Juice Box is available from Blue Dot for around 130 US dollars, which is a bit too much, if you ask me, simply because it will cost you a lot less to build your own such product, especially if you're an adept of the DIY trend.
