Shinola’s Metal Power Strips

Shinola’s handsome Power Supply units are a damn sight better than the cheapier power strip you’ve likely got hidden behind your desk. Rather than plastic, the enclosures are die-cast metal (with a variety of color options) sitting on a rubber base.

The anti-kink, braided 8-foot cords terminate at a 45-degree angle to the plug, meaning you can fit another plug in the socket below it. (I’m not sure why they photographed it in the bottom plug, as it doesn’t illustrate the point as nicely.)

The Power Supply units come in 2-port or 5-port variants, both with two quick-charging USB points.

As always, quality and design attention don’t come cheap: Prices are $155 and $195, respectively.
