I have a usb coming out of my pc in my office.
I have a killer audio system in my garage with a dock, and I also have a stock block 110 plug and usb in the garage -
I have a small inverter, and a stock block 110 and usb in my truck -


So what chargers to you have for your iphone, and where are they located?
 
1x Original charger behind my desk;
1x Car charger in my vertical bag;
1x wall charger also in my vertical bag.

Why so many chargers? Because I have an iPhone 4S :(:(:(

OEM Apple charger in the wall next to my bed.

Griffin PowerJolt SE charger in my personal car.

Cheap-o Dynex USB cable plugged into the Panasonic Toughbook laptop in my work vehicle.
 
I've got 3 chargers and usb cables in the bedroom, 1 charger is at each computer and 1 charger is by the bed while each computer in the room has a usb cable. I have a charger in the bathroom for when I talk on the phone in the shower (bluetooth). I have a charger in the kitchen. I also have one in the bonus room downstairs and a usb cable for the computer in that room. I have a spare usb cable in the car along with a spare wall charger and of course a car charger. lol I know I probably go overboard with having chargers, but when I'm at home I talk on the phone a lot and I prefer for the phone to always be charging so that anytime I leave out I start with a fully charged battery.
 
I have about five or six:

One OEM USB to dock charger by nightstand for iPhone.
One 6' Apple iPad USB to dock cord by nightstand for iPad.
One OEM Apple cord for work computer.
One OEM for Car 1.
Another OEM for Car 2.
And an extra OEM just in case I lose one of the other five.

How did I get that many? Lots of iPhones/iPads/iPods over the years.
 
One behind my bed, one in the living room beside couch on end table (which is actually an iPad charger with a laptop plug being utilized as an extension cord) and one in my vehicle.
 
5......all in my room, because roomie isn't allowed to touch my Apple toys and my room is also off limits. But only 2 are in use regularly, for my 4S and iPad 2.

lmao! I've got a couple of noise cancelling bluetooth headsets, so the oldest one is the one I use in the shower. They can't hear the background or an echo so it works out pretty well lol. Yeah I know it sounds crazy lol. :p

AHahah I was just kidding! Its a very good idea!
 
OEM USB cable and wall adapter by my bed
iHome by my bed for when I want to listen to music instead of just charge
OEM USB cable plugged into the port in the head unit in my car
OEM USB cable that stays in my purse


Between charging at night and charging while playing music in my car, I don't need the extra in my bag, but I got so used to needing one when I had a Droid X that I feel naked without it.
 
Having an ipad, multiple iPods and 3 iphones over the years I have my bases covered.

Wall plug in living room
Wall plug in bedroom
Wall plug in my bag
cord coming off my work Mac Pro edit system
cord coming off my home Mac Pro edit system

Yeah, I never run out of go-go juice.
 
Let's see.

1. Is a USB Hub at my MBP "docking station" on my desk
2. Apple USB Charger by my bed
3. Car charger in my Tahoe
4. Car charger in my cadillac
5. One on my boat
6. Various extras stashed about my house. never know when you're gonna need one!
 
These are the charges that I have for my 4S

3 - USB & Plug (in Living Room)
1 - Car Chargers (Car)
3 - Battery Chargers (varies)

Thats a total of 7 chargers.
 
1 beside my bed (comes with the iPhone)
1 in my office (comes with the iPad)
1 in my car (purchased from 3rd party)
another one in my last desk (comes with my old iPhone)

Now this is a great, fun question :)

I'm one who _never_ allows battery life to factor into my decisions on what I buy.

Instead I simply setup a wide array of chargers or additional power adapters in nearly every room of my house. It's easy and makes "plugging in" a breeze. All neatly routed with wires hidden they are not an eyesore.

Each of my cars have them as does my office at work.

Finally being one who's very mobile with a variety of cases to suit my various needs I have a charger & power adaptor (for my MacBooks) in each backpack, messenger bag, conventional laptop bag, and leather brief I carry, when in a suit.

It's very nice to know I don't have to worry about power no matter where I go.
 
Can somebody post a link to a cheap wall charger for the iphone 4

When i say cheap i mean $5 total after shipping
 
1 Charger beside my bed, with a very long USB cable so that way I can use the phone while it is plugged in and everything. I use an app called sleep cycle, so I charge the phone while it is underneath my pillow.

I used to keep a sync cable on the Mac as well, but since Wi-Fi synching, I don't even bother.

And that is all I need, I used to have one in the car as well, but it broke, and I've just been too lazy to buy a new one.

eBay is cheap. I brought a after market charger for like $5.00.....and that's including shipping. Had it for a few months now. No issues!
