Congratulations to Joseph L. of Jupiter, Florida, for winning a Zivix Jamstik+ portable digital guitar in last week's giveaway. This week, we have a power outlet coverplate -- with a built-in USB port. Cool, huh?

The SnapPower Charger has an unobtrusive USB outlet at the bottom that draws power from the screws inside the outlet. Just remove your old wall plate and snap the new one into place. The Charger doesn't require wires or batteries and your electrical outlet remains free for use.

The SnapPower Charger got its start on Kickstarter, where it well surpassed its $35,000 fundraising goal on the campaign's first day. We're giving away a pack of five. The Chargers come in duplex or decor styles and a number of colors, and you'll be able to pick the ones that best fit your home. So what do you have to do to get the $90 pack of Chargers for $0? There are a few rules, so please read carefully.

And here's the disclaimer that our legal department said we had to include (sorry for the caps, but rules are rules):

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY TO ENTER OR WIN. DATA RATES MAY APPLY. A PURCHASE WILL NOT INCREASE YOUR CHANCES OF WINNING. YOU HAVE NOT YET WON. MUST BE LEGAL RESIDENT OF ONE OF THE 50 UNITED STATES OR D.C., 18 YEARS OLD OR AGE OF MAJORITY, WHICHEVER IS OLDER IN YOUR STATE OF RESIDENCE AT DATE OF ENTRY INTO SWEEPSTAKES.
