If you're like most people,you've lost a charger or charging cable because someone -- a friend, family member, or coworker -- wanted to borrow it for a bit since their device was running low.

The only thing I want to point out here is that it does involve unscrewing the screw that holds the outlet faceplate in place and replacing it with another fastener. So if this is something you don't feel comfortable doing, you're either going to need to find an electrician to do this for you or give this product a miss.

Now people can borrow a charger, but can't make off with your charger and cable.
