The Concealed Surge Protector

We consider unnecessary cord clutter a pretty serious enemy around these parts, which is why Belkin's concealed surge protector caught our eye.

The simple but streamlined little surge protector sports a plastic-hinged cover that folds over the outlets and cords, hiding the many ugly plugs you'd normally be staring at if you were using an average surge protector. It boasts a total of 11 outlets and even handles those unwieldy AC adapters/wall warts with aplomb. The price is a little steep, at around $28 on Amazon, so you'd have to really care about your cords, but it's undeniably worthy of some gear lust.

On the flip side, an adventurous DIYer could probably rig together their own cord concealing surge protector. Either way you go, this idea seems like a perfect compliment to the cordless workspace.
