This is such a great idea. I was always a little worried that my phone would slide off the counter or someone would spill something on it. This gets it up out of the way and I know it's safe while it's charging.

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

Wish it had two together on one socket! But I bought two and added one to another socket area so it would hold both of my cell phones. I loved it. It took all the cords off the counter and I stopped digging and trying to figure out which cord belonged to which phone etc...

Great idea, but can only be used where single wallplugs are located. If it is a location that has a light switch and wallplugs, it cannot be used.

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

This item is great for charging your cellphone and keeping it up off the counter in case of spills!! BUT if you have a pda type phone, wide phone or the charger goes in the side of your phone, it just sits on the top of the opening rather than sliding in the pocket. Doesn't look pretty, but works?!?

Also wish it was a little sturdier...it's very flimsy!

Have placed the SocketPockets in my guest bedroom and my bedroom for charging cell phones without having cords to trip over and for my guest's convenience. Would like it better if it was more rigid like a standard wall plate and would lay completely flat.

I'm a very organized person and to have all the wires from the cell phones up and out of the way and the cell phones having a "home" to sit in while charging instead of all over the counter is wonderful. It installed in under 30 seconds too.

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

very practical - it works but takes up your space and doesn't work on alot of sockets. You have to make sure you have enough room on both sides for it to fit. We had to put them in unusual and not easy to get to spaces.

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

This works fine, but you can only use it in one direction. So you need wall space on the left of the outlet you plan to use it on.

Good, but could be better...

Best in higher outlets, For adultsteens, Informal

Describe Yourself:

Bargain Hunter, Like organization helps, Love gadgets, Practical, Stylish, Want it all valuequality

Primary use:

Personal

Bottom Line:

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

I would like this much better if it had more than 1 pocket, and a power strip to accomodate more than one device. I have more than one phone, and my teenager has phone & I-Pod. The other consideration is the placement. Most outlets are floor level; not the most practical spot for a cell phone esp. if there are small children or pets that like to chew such things. I would reccommend it be improved and re-offered. Recommended to small child free households and for those who have an outlet placed higher up on the wall. Could be fine for Kitchen or Bath if that is where you want to charge your device(s).

Works great, really does!

Comments about LifeStyles SocketPocket TM:

It makes the perfect place to store your phone while it's being charged, no more mess of cords or phone just laying on the counter. Great idea. I just wish it was made of a little heavier material. I'm not sure how well it will hold up.
But I'll order more if it does wear out!
