Guest Picks: Stay Charged

Keeping my iPhone from reaching that 10 percent battery warning is a daily problem. I often forget to charge my phone, because that magical white cord is always getting moved around to another outlet or bag, or going missing when I do go to power up. To help solve my problem, I rounded up 20 finds to stay on top of charging phones, iPads and on-the-go tech gear. Thankfully, the accessories are only getting better looking as the phones get more advanced (hello, iPhone 6). — Jen from The Haystack Needle
