View This Product's Development History

Designed by the Quirky community and Apple enthusiasts in just 24 hours, the Quirky PowerCurl is a clip-on cord wrap for Apple’s 45W, 60W, 85W, and older rectangular 85W MagSafe Power Adapter. The Curl, as we like to call it, makes it easy to unplug and pack up quickly without having to untangle your extension cords the next time you set up shop.

Oh, and we've quirkified this thing -- it's available in hot pink, lime green, baby blue, bright orange, and charcoal. Here's what else makes it hot:

- Both ends of the cord (the plug end and the MagSafe end) can wrap around the device, allowing for quick and easy unraveling.

- The included clip enables the plug end of your cord to clip to itself, just like your MagSafe end does.

- Fear over-heated adapters no more -- PowerCurl elevates the power adapter for improved air circulation and cooling.

- Available in all colors for the 60W and 85W models and orange for the 45W and 85W long models.

PowerCurl sizes match up with the default adapters for following MacBook models:
45W = MacBook Air
60W = MacBook, 13-inch MacBook Pro
85W = 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro
85W long = older generation 15- and 17-inch MacBook Pro (rectangular)

    This is just an FYI for those considering a PowerCurl. I recently received a new PC(different color) and I compared it to my 7 month old PC and I noticed that over time, the width decreases and becomes slimmer because it flexes to conform to whatever you are storing it in. SO if it seems wider than you thought, it will flatten out. I love my PowerCurl!

      Just got my 60w orange model. A bit wider than I thought, its slightly wider than the Belkin Surge Protector mini I carry. Just fits nicely into my Booq Taipan Lift bag though and I've definately gained space in my bag now. Great stuff.

            I already have an orange one and LOVE it! About to get a *new shiny* MBP. Do we know yet if the adapters changed at all for the new crop of MacBook Pros that were announced a couple weeks ago? Looking in the Apple store, they are still 85W and square (for the 15" for example), so I'm guessing they're alright, but just wanted to check before placing an order. I'll probably go ahead and send an email to CS, but thought I'd see if anyone knew off hand. Thanks a bunch folks :) @jasonh1234 The dark gray is a less shiny silver ;) @jess moran I'd buy one for my iPad as well.

              wish there's a similar product for other brands' laptop power adaptor cables...

                No white? I'd buy 2 right now if there was a white colour. Even silver. I don't like bright colours. :-/

                  Any way we could get this in the right size for the iPad as well?

                    @ Robert, from my knowledge Quirky has the Orange PowerCurl for the 85W (rectangular adapter), i recall seeing this option at the final checkout when i ordered my PowerCurls, so you have to choose the particular model for your adapter when you checkout.

                      Man - I am bummed. I have an 85W power adapter for my MacBook Pro - but it doesn't fit!!! Apparently this is only for the newer model 85W adapters, but the description or specs do not state this. My adapter is rectangular in shape - not a square. So bummed! I'm a DJ and this was going to be a very useful little tool... So I guess I could return this or buy a new power adapter and have this one as a backup... Dang. Great product though - just please update the description to clarify this for others.

                        Just got mine in turquoise. It's not too big, actually it saves me room in my laptop bag, no awkward mess of chords.

                                Great product, and nice choice of colors (my personal favorite colors are the black and the dark orange powercurls).

                                      Just got mine. Pure awesomeness. For anyone else wondering, this does work with the 45W & 65W iBook adapters as well. Just get the 60W version, and you'll be good to go. And the carrot-orange nicely compliments my purple Apple logo. Cool.

                                        Just received my PowerCurl (85W version) and I love it. I wish the fit was tighter but over it is great. It keeps the power supply off the surface so it cools more effectively and the cords wrap around it very neatly.

                                          I got mine that I ordered for my MacBook. I like it, but it is quite a bit larger than I expected. It took a bit of trial and error to get it set up. Once I got the adapter to fit in it, it was fine. It won't fit in my smaller carry bag, but it fits in my larger Booq Mamba bag with no problem. Just something to think about if you're tight on space. I like it enough to order another one for my MBP. My only complaint is that I wish it weren't quite so big. Overall, good job though. And I really like the color. I get a lot of positive comments on it when I'm working at a bookstore or other hotspot. Cheers!
