    Time Out Chicago / Issue 184 : Sep 4–10, 2008
    $10 well spent

    Hold the phone

    We all have special spots for our cell phones at the end of the day: the window sill, the floor and, sometimes, right next to our head on a pillow. But those aren’t always the safest places. The phone could fall off the sill or get stepped on, or the charging cord could get knotted while you toss and turn in your sleep. Fortunately, the Driinn mobile device charging holder comes to the rescue. The shelf provides a safe location for your phone to rest while the battery charges. Just wrap the charging cord around the plastic device, which hangs between the battery charger and the electric outlet. And because it comes in a variety of colors (including lime, black, white and pink), it should easily fit in with the color scheme of any room. $10 at spoonsisters.com.
