Revivelite II: iPod Charger, Nightlight and Mouth in One
Posted in: Accessories and Peripherals, iPhone, ipod, power, Today's Chili, usb
Scosche’s new ReviveLite II is barely bigger than any other iPod charging brick, and manages to pack in a flip-down iPod holder along with a glowing night-light. It is also $10 cheaper than v1.0, which had the additional handicap of being big, ugly and covering up not one, but two power outlets thanks to its side-saddle design.
The design is ingenious and simple. Plug it in and flip down the maw to reveal a shelf with a single projecting tooth: the dock connector. The nightlight is a glowing white LED which is housed inside the lip of this mechanical mouth, and can thankfully be switched on or off at the press of a button. Scosche also thought to include a USB port on the side (cheek?) for charging most anything else, and if you do overload things. the lamp will flash in warning.
The ReviveLite II is small enough to almost disappear behind an iPod Nano, but also big enough to accommodate an iPhone. And best of all, at $25, it’s cheaper than Apple’s own charger, which has none of the extras, and still requires an annoying cable.
