As our lives increasingly revolve around portable and mobile devices ? smartphones, tablets, wearables, and handheld gaming ? so our homes become invaded by a tangle of accompanying cables. Thankfully, most devices ? even with a proprietary connector on one end ? are USB compatible, encouraging the rise of USB charging stations that can centralise the power needs of your many devices.

Unlike many other USB charging stations on the market, though, the Zentree from Gelid Solutions not only provides a single hub into which you can plug up to four devices, but also a series of nubs ? the 3D Tree Array ? covered by a removable green silicone rubber top, into which you can neatly stack your devices while they charge.
