Looking for the perfect way to charge your lightening devices on the go? Â Charging with NOMAD is the perfect solution.
Our house is a highly connected house with a number of devices that need to be charged. Â No matter how many cables we have around it seems like we never have one when we needed it. Â For me, as a blogger, I am often working with my laptop and phone for long hours during the day. Â I love being able to charge my phone with my computer but find the long cords really frustrating. Â I’ve found the answer!
Some of the things that are cool about NOMAD:
Their products, ChargeKey & ChargeCard:
- World’s smallest, most portable USB cables
- Shaped like a house-key and credit card, respectively
- Allows for charging from any USB port (works just like your standard iPhone 5 cable) and full data transfer when connected to a computer
- Easy to use, easy to carry and flexible
- Not easily damaged so can be taken anywhere and withstand the rough treatment of keys.
- ChargeCard fits in your wallet
- Great low price!
My husband and I tried both products for two weeks. Â I took the ChargeCard in my purse and he clipped the ChargeKey to his car keys. Â The result – neither of us had any problem charging my iPhone or his iPad. The ChargeKey and ChargeCard worked without fail and plugged into a variety of different computers and the USB connector in our car. The flexibility of the devices is fantastic when you have a small space to work and charge. The ChargeKey and ChargeCard are perfect for travel, for work or any situation where you need to charge your phone and don’t have access to a plug or lightening cable. Charging with NOMAD is so easy, I can’t wait to show this off at my next blogging conference!
One lucky Family Food and Travel reader will win a choice of a NOMAD ChargeKey or ChargeCard – open to Canada and US – ends May 30, 2014

Carey Hurst says
I was just camping and the rain made it impossible to charge things as I forgot my outdoor extension cord so i had no electricity running to my tent. This would have been perfect . Thanks for chance.
S McHugh says
Our phones are constantly running out of battery and it would awesome to be able to keep this little device on my keychain, so that I can charge my phone while I’m out somewhere!
Jim says
This looks incredibly convenient, and I constantly have a dying iPad.

My husband dropped me off at the train station to board the train to southern Ontario. The train ended up being five hours late. I had to sit in the isolated train station with a cell phone and iPad that was dwindling in power and no way to charge them.

C’ est une sécurité quand on part en auto on ne vérifie pas toujours le niveau de charge de la batterie du cellulaire, mais on apporte toujours les clés. C’ est une très bonne idée de placer le rechargeur dans notre porte-clés.

Christy Martin says
I think it would perfect in any daily situations. Nothing is worse than dragging around a cable in your purse and few people are ever far from a computer to plug in a USB. Work, school, friend’s house etc. If you have your keys, there is no reason to leave home without it.
Robyn Bellefleur says
Almost everyday I forget to charge my phone before leaving the house because I am always so rushed. So, this would definitely come in handy.
