The Chargerito is a tiny charger that doesn’t have any cords to tangle or break (and folds down to fit on your keychain).

Chargerito Review:

Price and Where to Buy: The Chargerito is available on Amazon for $24.99 (Micro-USB) or $29.99 (Apple).

How the Chargerito Rates:

Usefulness: 10/10. The Chargerito fits on your keychain, so you’ll always have a charger when you need it. No cords are needed for this—just plug it into the wall, and it holds your phone up as it charges.
Value: 8/10. The price is fair for a charger with a unique design like this one.
Durability: 10/10. The Chargerito is much more durable than a regular phone charger, as it doesn’t have cords that will get twisted and break.
Portability: 9/10. The Chargerito can fit on your keychain or in your pocket—the outlet prongs and charging connector all fold down into a compact package that you can take anywhere.
Cool Factor: 10/10. The design of this is really cool and innovative!

Final Verdict: Never have a charger when you need one? Hate the tangled mess of cords your charger turns into when you pack it? The Chargerito solves your problem.
