This cute USB charging hub turns into a bookend, goes on holiday

If you have a lot of phones, tablets and other rechargeable devices in your home, you’ve probably considered picking up a five or six-port charging hub. The idea makes a lot of sense — you can keep everything topped up in one place, without needing loads of individual chargers (and loads of plug sockets to put them in). Today, we’re looking at the I-Star 10.6A Charging Hub, a five port charging hub with a couple of fresh ideas that set it apart from the crowd.

The first thing that the I-Star offers is a unique design. Sure, it’s a rectangular prism with five USB charging ports on one side… but you can also transform it into a stylish bookend. Just drop it in the frame provided, and you’ll have easy access to the upwards-facing ports. As the name suggests, this is also stable enough to serve as a bookend, making it the perfect addition to a bookshelf, bedside table or desk. There are even a trio of notches that make it easy to line up your phones within easy reach. Nice one!

The I-Star also impresses with the amount (and cleverness) of its power delivery. The hub includes four ports that can each reach 2.4A, making it easy to recharge even large devices like big smartphones or tablets quickly. There’s also a USB 2.0 port that provides 1A of power, making for 10.6A in total. The hub’s Intelligent Charging system automatically outputs to match your device, ensuring smaller items don’t cause excess heat or battery wear.

Finally, the I-Star is also a super portable charging hub. Its small frame and detachable cable make it easy to pack and take on holiday, and with a single plug adapter you’ll be able to recharge all of your devices abroad — that’s way better than needing new mains adapters for each of your phones, tablets and other USB devices! The I-Star can handle voltages between 100 and 240V, so no matter where in the world you end up, you can enjoy the same rapid charging capabilities.

It’s a brilliant five-port USB charger, and it’s available right now from Mobile Fun.
