There's no longer any need to panic should you find your phone is on the verge of dying while you're out and about in Union Square: Just head run to Neiman Marcus for an assist from ChargeItSpot.

The juice is totally free and secure. All you have to do is enter your mobile number, choose a chic security image (from Neiman's fall lookbook, natch), insert your phone in the locked compartment and go about your merry way until all your bars are back, and your beloved is ready to talk and text. Pretty cool, eh?
