Keep Your Laptop Power Supply from Sliding a Off Desk with a Rubber Band

Sure, you could probably use a strip of duct tape, but a rubber band can be almost as useful when it comes to customizing your computing work-space. Huh? Well, let’s say you have a laptop or some other device that has a power brick attached to its charging cable and you’re tired of kicking it every time you sit down at the computer. Or perhaps you work in a high traffic area where people are walking around and always kicking your power supply and ripping the power cord out of your system. Or you’re not paying attention and accidentally kick it and the power becomes disconnected. Believe it or not, a rubber band might be your solution.

Use a Rubber Band as a Slip Guard

Simply wrap the rubber band around two opposing corners and presto, the power brick is now slip-resistant and won’t slip off your desk. It’s quick, effective, and pretty cheap since just about everyone has an extra rubber band laying around.
