This charger, which has various models that fit the charging ports on Apple, Android and Windows phones, tablets and even many wearables, includes a special built-in beeper alarm that goes off when you unplug the phone from the cord. That alarm is designed to remind you to then remove the charger cord from the wall outlet so you can take it with you. It also acts as a theft alarm if you plug your phone in for charging in a public place and someone tries to take the phone from the cord. The devices sell for about $19.99.
